EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That...is my happy sound. :D
I am just in SUCH a good mood...like all of a sudden BAM I felt giddy and crazy happy and just...EEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
I had a REALLY fun day...got to drive, which I love, and got to see David, WHOM I love. ;D
Lots of bonding time with Mommy, lots of fun in general, good night with Josh (we bonded over "Prince of Persia"), and NOW I'm actually doing some of my homework ahead of time.
Now, TECHNICALLY...I know homework isn't supposed to make me happy...but I am just so darn tootin proud of myself for starting it on SATURDAY instead of SUNDAY. Therefore, I am happy, therefore I am joyful, therefore I am gleeful.
OOH! GLEE COMES BACK NEXT WEEK!!!

"Oh, how lonely..."
Very interesting to think about.
"Why would any of us hurt the one we promised to love and cherish?
Lack of empathy is at the core of the problem. I was struck with what we are all up against while watching a Star Trek episode. Spock had volunteered to be possessed by an alien presence so that it could communicate with Captain Kirk of the Starship Enterprise.
As soon as it entered Spock's body, its first reaction was, "Oh, how lonely you must all feel."
You see, in the alien world, they were all connected to each other through telepathy so that each one could feel what everyone else felt. They were all emotionally bonded to each other. But as soon as the alien possessed Spock's body, it realized that we humans are all cut off from each other emotionally. And it viewed our state as incredibly isolated and lonely.
One of the most important consequences of our emotional isolation is that we cannot feel the way we affect others. And that creates the temptation to hurt others because in doing so we don't feel the pain we cause. If we were connected emotionally to others as the aliens were, we would be far less tempted to do anything thoughtless, gaining at someone else's expense. That's because in so doing, we would be hurting ourselves as well."
