About me:
I'm Paige.
I live.. what else is there to do.
I try to enjoy even the worst of it, after all , just like the good, the bad will pass.
I enjoy people.
They come into my life, make their marks, and leave.
Some only for minutes, others for months or years, and some are even still here.
I think my favorites are the few that though they are nowhere near me physically, are still right by my side emotionally and/or intellectually.
I know they're along for the ride, always in the backseat when I need directions.
I thank them.
Though there are some people I wish to never see again, I avoid that bitter taste they've left with me.
The idea is to remain in a constant state of departure, while always arriving.
Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone and Everyone.
And, though he is deceased, Isaac Asimov.
For he too was particularly fond of statements that represent artless self-appreciation:
Goethe came to Vienna once to visit Beethoven, and they went out together for a walk.
The Viennese, recognizing the two, were awestruck.
Everyone the great men encountered hastened to step aside and make room for them, the men bowing low and the women curtsying deeply.
Finally Goethe said, "You know, Herr van Beethoven, I find these expressions of adulation quite wearying."
To which Beethoven replied, "Please do not let it disturb you, Herr von Goethe, I am quite certain these expressions of adulation are meant for me."

I want a puppy so bad, but I can't get one yet.... Splinter is fun to have, my kitty, but not the same as a puppy...

Jake and I were speaking of the other night... How goes it Beautiful?
Me? Pretty well. Selling lots of stuff, downsizing, getting ready for the trip... Not sure where I'm going to school yet. Possibly Warren Wilson with Kat, I love environmentally-involved they are. I feel like I'd be making a small step toward making a big difference in this world...

Wow, time sure changes. One of my best friends is actually moving out of my place and moving to North Carolina (the same one, right behind Jenns moms one)soon as well... Going to Warren Wilson College.
How are you? I'm okay. But I'm really begining to feel like I need to get out of this town, fuck this whole state. I have a job, and have been savng some money but I dont have nearly enough to leave yet...
