Ahh, romance. It's the best. I would really like to go skiiing very soon. The cold still mountains provide an amazing contrast to skiing fast down a hill Here is a picture from Lake Tahoe that I stole from
this website:

After my week of skiing at Banff or Lake Tahoe, I will be ready to hit
Kuaui. See below:

Sometimes I wonder if I should just embrace my inner brat. Last night, a good male friend of mine told me that I can be "imposing" verbally. I am not sure what he meant by that, but I think it has to do with my fascination with getting into people's heads. I know that is kind of sociopathic, but I see it as empathy. I am just really interested in how other people think, because I perceive my own thinking as very, very different. Frankly, I think that he is jealous of the fact that I can make people feel at ease around me, if needed. Other friends of mine have told me that. Marty struggles with a tendancy to put his foot in his mouth, as well as moan and groan about how his life has been so hard. Dweeb.
