Engine The one that could of course. Also my car engine. My first car. I remember looking at it and wishing I knew what everything was and how it worked. I can do basic stuff.... check oil, window washing fluid... other fluids.... check the air in tires... what's left... pump gas ;) That's about it for my car mechanical expertise!

Disregard I'm wondering if I should disregard someone's request. Well, that's not up to them actually... what's done is done. I'm wondering if I should LIE to cover up that things aren't how they want. I told them I was going to change my plans. They didn't like that, but it was already done. Too late. So I'm wondering if I should avoid them so they don't have to know, or say "My plans changed

luggage Weird. Someone just told me there was talk of charging for carry on luggage. I've heard this before. It'll probably happen. They got all panicked. I may have to start traveling with no luggage and/or sending things by mail. How stupid. I wish trains were cheaper. I'd totally do Amtrak instead - HAPPILY - but I'd need a sleeper car for long trips and that makes it cost prohibitive. No

Primitive brain emotions I wonder if primitive humans had emotions like ours? Did they get as distressed? Distraught? Did they get as happy? Excited? Did they form friendships? Bonds? Did they love the way we do? Both romantic and non? Did they plan? Anticipate? Did they wonder about death and worry about loss? How did they feel? Was it similar to how we feel today? Was it similar to how some

Outgoing Most people think I'm that. I guess I just see meeting people differently than others. They're a person, I'm a person... unless I see a reason to not treat them like a person, I will. If they seem un-human in some way, then maybe I won't. Or maybe I'll approach them anyway just because I'm curious...

Tasting I once went to a chocolate tasting event. Happened out of nowhere. I was in a mall and struck up a conversation with a woman in the food court. She told me there was a chocolate tasting event at the mall that day. It was cheap. Maybe $5 or $10? And you got little boxes of chocolates from various vendors. - I was so there! My new friend and I had a very nice time :)

Upright Haven't been doing a lot of that recently. Ok... before you get the wrong idea ;) I've been lying down a lot. A LOT. The first few days I may have had the start of a flu. Hard to know. I wasn't sleeping well, the temperature outside and in was much hotter than I'm used to, the air conditioning wasn't on, and that could be what I was feeling. Now flu-ish symptoms have gone, the AC is on

Hallowed Funny... I thought "Hallowed be thy name" but I was also picturing the Geddysburg address. "...we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who have struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract." I memorized the whole thing when I was about ten. My choice. I did it as a memory exercise. I did

Balloons Why do I think I saw this already? I don't think I wrote on it. I think I imagined it. OH! I KNOW!!! There's a themed "summer movie" series near me. I was thinking earlier today that a great theme would be films with "Balloons!" Wow. Coincidence :) Ok, for a quick blurb... I make balloon animals. I deliberately learned how to make 1-balloon animals when I was younger, instead of

Poster When I was younger, to enter my bedroom, there was a hallway (about 8 feet long), and then the space opened up into a room. I put theatre and movie posters up in the hallway, and used to pretend it was an alley in a city.

Sound I would hate to not be able to hear the sound of voices I love. I wouldn't mind not hearing some other sounds though. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to filter things like that? Filter certain decibels or words or voices or... jackhammers! I wonder how we'd be, as people, if we could pick and choose what to hear - literally. Maybe it's the bad that makes the good so much better, or the

Swan Some people look good when they're dressed up. I have some friends who don't. The clothes don't fit them right, the makeup is a bit off... They DO look how "grown ups" are supposed to look, so it works in that regard, and they look "right" in that way, but they'd actually look more professional, more put together, and more "with it" in their non-work clothes. Because those fit them better.

Slight Of hand. Not something I was ever good at. Maybe my hands were too small when I started (though plenty of children are very good at it.) Now if I tried I'd probably fumble at times, so it may be best that was never my forte. Heck it was never my anything! Self working tricks always worked best for me. I had lots of those.

Sunglasses I have a lot of difficulty with these. Most sunglasses distort my view too much so I'm not comfortable wearing them. There was one brand I loved. I could see great out of them. Better than without! They cost $50-$80 each, but they were worth it to me. I don't lose my sunglasses. Mine often last 3-5 years before they break. Eventually that company changed hands and their glasses

Well this makes sense. Most people do have two earrings after all ;) I have a couple of ear cuffs too. I like them, but they hurt. Kind of in a Princess and the Pea sort of way. I don't know why they hurt but that little bit of pressure on the cartilage gives me a big headache. No matter how loose I make them. I have trouble with stiff bracelets and watches too. No matter how loose, if they're

Earring I have pierced ears. Always had them. My parents felt the need to put a couple of extra holes in my head when I was about four years old. I remember getting some really cute Snoopy earrings once from Charles Shultze's skating rink. They infected my ears like nobody's business! Red, scaley... In retrospect, it think I was allergic to them, and then my ears got infected. My earlobes

Desk Elementary school and four desks put together. I remember a teacher asking us what our first through fourth choices would be for who we'd want in our group. I was always worried I'd end up with people I didn't like, but every time, I loved my group of four. I think everybody was happy with their seating assignments. I don't remember any of us looking at another table and pining for friends

Entice Entice makes me think of a deliberate action from another, with an intent to manipulate a specific outcome. There is no "other" swaying my reason right now. There's just me. Nevertheless, I'm being pulled and swayed towards a set of decisions that might not be best in the long run. Decisions swayed by emotion rather than reason or logic. I think that must be bad. Or maybe it's not. It's

Nourish I'm thinking evil villains. That's what they always say when they're being evil and they're about to eat you! I almost never hear this word in a good or healthy context. I'm thinking Stephen King clown eating children in the sewers, and alien entities that prey upon hapless ships lost in space... What the heck happened to this word??! ;)

Bitten Would I want to be a vampire... No. I'm not sure I'd be cracked up for immortality. I have enough difficulty with a mortal life. Immortal doesn't mean rich and comfortable. That might be more appealing. Possibly. But having to live off others' blood? No. It might be ok sometimes, but to HAVE to live off that? Ew. Not interested. And sunlight and stakes seem like an awful way to go.

Puddle I was away at school once. All the kids seemed nervous around me. Our accents were very different. I wasn't from around there. Everyone was friendly, but polite. There was a guy there from out of town too, and he was fitting in great. I don't think it takes guys long to size up one another. Girls watch. A lot. Guys jump right in. One day a group of girls and I were walking back from

Pins I'm thinking of Home Ec again... How many kids won't know which direction pins should face when they sew with a machine? - How many kids will even sew with a machine? It's a disposable time. Something breaks or stains, get a new one. If it's something very nice, pay someone else to fix it. I wonder if there'll be a time when that's reversed again. When people will be more self

Ruby The wife of a man I cared a great deal about. The first time we met, when it was time to say our goodbyes, she hugged me, and I have to say it was the greatest hug I'd ever received.

Hood Robin The Disney cartoon is the one that comes to mind. How good looking was that Robin Hood? Amazing what they can convey with good animation. What I remembered most, though, was the kid character who idolized him. Like a "Thumper." I wonder how many other kids remembered that character above all else?
