I've been currently fascinated with the new perspective this reality has given me. It has given me back some of that wonderment that I believe I lost somewhere between childhood and adulthood. To know that this world has the unbelievable, the fantastic, the outright science fictional things that I've always enjoyed dreaming about probably has something to do with it. While it may be rich in the extraordinary, it still has mundane, little things that I can't help but love, as well.
Johan Wolfgang Goethe said, "A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart." I wonder if it's not because of this perspective, that I enjoy this world so much. I came here expecting the fantastic, and that's what it has been for me. That being said...

Garcia, I bought Trivial Pursuit, and I cleaned my house. Would you like to come over and play? I invited Cassidy and Dib along as well.

	Did you get that from Mr. Rogers? And no, Reid, there's really no way to make schematics of highways interesting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Captain Kangaroo, actually. And I think they're interesting! It takes a committee of people to design a system of roads that's both practical and efficient for your everyday motorist to get to and from major cities, and yet they still manage to have gridlock traffic in most of them. I have designed a more efficient road design for places, but I doubt they'd ever be implemented because it takes years to go through the red tape, and after that, it takes millions of dollars to redo road systems.

... And I wrote about three paragraphs more on the subject before I realized that was boring and I deleted them.

	We are so having a Trivial Pursuit party to celebrate. You know, since we were having one anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Garcia watchoutunsubs 2010-06-19 10:23 am UTC (link)
	Well, it's not a party-worthy event for me to be asking anyone out, but since we were having one anyway, sure, why not? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's actually fairly concise for me. I've been working on trying to be more conversational and um, succinct. I suppose it's not working? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Technically, I type a lot, in this case, but that's just arguing semantics. I try to say exactly what I mean, but then I wind up saying what I think, instead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Best policy. I read fast. Why are you chasing small things? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watchoutunsubs 2010-06-19 09:31 am UTC (link)

	I like to think of myself less like an animal and more like... More like the wind, I think. Rushing, and real, a force, but not forceful. I can change the world, but I'm more a balance in things than a palpable entity. At least, in my job, that's what I am. ... Was that still too long? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, actually, a lot of people have told me it's really hard to follow me when I go off in one direction, even if the destination is what they're looking for. I'm glad you don't mind too much, though. And if it's not um, not too bold, I'd really like it if we talked in person? I'm really a face to face type. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
