There are days when all I want to do is sleep. I don't know why, that's just how it is. I think it's because sometimes I don't get enough sleep. I wish school was structered so that growing kids could get as much sleep as possible. They've already done it in some schools up north. I hope it comes down south, eventually.

Losing love between you and a friend is so easy. All you have to do is say the wrong thing and all of a sudden the other person is at your throat and you're like "What the--?" Then you all say stuff the neither means. Feelings get hurt. Sometimes a grudge is harbored. And if nothing is done quickly, then the friendship dissolves. Usually, a good apology is in order but apologies are often hard to give. But, it's stupid to loose a friendship because pride gets in the way. Shouldn't friendships be more important than that?

*thinks on that. Gets up and leaves to make a phone call*

I just recently got engaged (YAY!) and I was thinking about why the wedding ring is worn on the left hand. Wouldn't it do fine on the right? I think about it in this way.

The right hand is a symbol of authority. Y'know, the first born son sits on the right hand of the father because he has the authority of the father or will have it. Therefore, it is a masculine symbol. Well, since the world thinks things in oppositions, then the left must be a symbol of the feminine. That's why it is said silver is to be worn on the left. Silver is a feminine metal, whereas gold is a masculine. (Gold=sun; Silver=moon)

Okay. A wedding ring is also called a wedding band. What does a band do? It binds. What metal is a wedding band traditionally? Gold, normally yellow gold. (Though white gold is coming into fashion but anyway.) So, in a symbolic sense, the woman is binding her feminity, represented by her left hand, with that of masculine authority, represented by the gold wedding band. She can exercise her femininity (i.e. her sexuality) but only in the confines of marriage.

....and I think about stuff way too much....

What fun!!! This looks so cool. Okay!!!

It's a bit rainy out. Lets all thank the hurricane for that! Such a busy season. School is a month in, though it feels like longer. Last week, I swear I went through Monday at least three times.

Um, uh....I'm in complete, abounding love.....no two ways about it...nothing much else to say. See ya'll later!
