I have just been paid a most outrageous compliment. It's so outrageous that it's most likely not going to go to my head and puff it up like a hot air balloon. Still, it made me smile to have been told that. How lovely to be thought of as the most beautiful girl in the whole wide world, if even for an instant, if even for a moment.
Reading Scott M. Peck's The Road Less Travelled right now. Technically, it's a re-reading as I had previously read it in high school. Although, I must say that reading the same book almost a decade later does allow me to do a richer, fuller interpretation of what is being said, as I have a fuller reservoir of experiences to draw from. The basic premise of the book is that love must be coupled to discipline. That love is about what you can give and how you can grow spiritually with the person you love, inducing positive spiritual growth in each other. It's not just a 'feeling." It's not about instant gratification. Reading the book gave me greater insight into myself and how I had been acting the past several years. I've been truly awful in some respects. I hope to change, really, I do.
Tomorrow is a Halloween party thrown by my boss. It should be fun. I don't know yet if I should dress up. I won't mind, as long as I'm not the only dork going out on a limb here. I think though that I want to steer away from "asian' themes. No Chung Li look, no karate kid getup. Going as a sex kitten to a company soiree may not be such a good idea either. Hmm...what exactly should I go as? I'll try to think of something utterly ingenious and completely effortless. Maybe I'll go as Amelie Poulain, how about that? Good idea eh? I have the hair for it at this point, just need the clothes.
