“Have fun with your other friends tonight.”
Phil said this to me today as I was leaving the floor. It was strange. I really didn’t think about it. This would be one of the first Sundays in a long time that I didn’t meet up with the Fight Club gang for dinner.
Today was Natashia’s birthday and she had invited me to celebrate with her and her friends. Part of me dreaded the thought. My experiences with her group of friends usually result in jessi feeling awkward.
But it was actually a blast. I was very sad to have to catch the last train and live “so far away” in comparison versus if I had access to a bicycle or a car. We surprised Natashia by showing up at her door instead of going out for dinner like she thought we were. Some of the people I met tonight were really fun and cool, we spoke geek and quote, and I found more Whedonites.
Natashia amuses me. She thinks I’m smart. If only she knew you lot, or hell, met my beloved heart-sister…she’d come to see I’m actually quite dull. She says I’m very passionate about things…now that, I can understand. Is passion a good thing, or a bad thing?
Passion = good.
Just don’t forget your other [i]other[/i] group of friends.
“Passion. It lies in all of us. Sleeping… …waiting… And though unwanted… …unbidden… it will stir…open its jaws, and howl. It speaks to us… guides us… Passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have?”
“Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love… the clarity of hatred… and the ecstasy of grief.”
“It hurts sometimes, more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we’d know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow - empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion, we’d be truly dead.”
..But you knew that already. :p
