Tell me if I am be too iNtuitive about this but I just figured out some weird shit and it's making me wonder what the meaning is... ok so..

My son was recently born two months premature. He was named after his grandpa on my mom's side, as well as after my dad and husband's dad (our dads have pretty much the same name).

First weird thing: my water broke on the same day as my husband and my wedding anniversary.
Second weird thing: this day is also my grandma's birthday on my dad's side.
Third weird thing: Baby was born on FRIDAY THE 13TH, 13 days after the water broke, at 10:31am, at 31 weeks gestation. (lots of 1's and 3's in there)
Fourth weird thing: his actual due date has turned out to be the same day as my grandma on my mom's side's funeral.

If I was superstitious or into numerology or something, I would think these things were a little weird. Are they weird or am I just looking too far into it? Is this lucky or unlucky? ...Or should I just be happy that his great grandma got to see pictures of him before she died, and call it one of the only lucky things that came from him being premature?

is there such thing as luck?

I wouldn't call thirteen bad luck necessarily because coincidentally I've had a similar experience with it. Amarillo, Texas has thirteen letters in it, and that's where I was born. My full name has thirteen letters in it, and I was born in 1994 (9+4). The numbers of my grandparent's (we're pretty close) address are 5213, a multiple of thirteen.

So not quite as strange, but a bit funny all the same.

Anyway, I'd just call it good luck because it makes him unique! Good luck and congratulations!! :D

It's the start of my favorite time of the year, sweaters, woolen tights, pumpkin candles and the scents of autumn! I love the smell of leaves as they fall and decay, the whole world is spicy and amazing.

Sometimes I wonder.

Do I make jokes because I like to make people laugh? Or do I make them because I feel thats the only thing I can contribute to people?

(I'm probably not as funny as I think I am. I'm just glad people are polite enough to show appreciation for the effort, and keep that bubble from popping)

How I fear that I'll introduce myself one day:
New person: "Hello, I'm (name I can't remember because of panic)."
"Hello hello hello hello!!! I'm Gatsby!!! Please love me forever..." Screedle screedle scramble screedle.
"What was that?"
"Nothing?"

How I can't stand introducing myself:
New person: "Hello, I'm (name I can't remember because of panic)."
"...oh...um...I'm James. James Gatz..." *pretends to check phone and then exit, if person is perceptive, a fake phone-conversation would be in order. Fake smile.*

Anyway, venting complete :D

I'm finishing Wuthering Heights again.

It's always been very mysterious to me. I think I get it now. It's not really about the characters and what happens to them. That's why it's so awkwardly struct—unstructured. Why it just goes on and on, and then suddenly, randomly ends. The character's feelings and actions are all very extreme. So is the nature around them. Wuthering Heights, both as a name and a metaphor, thus refers as much to wind-worn place most of the novel takes place in as to the great feelings harassing our heroe—I mean, villai—her ... Nevermind. There is some strange, enormous, mysterious, infinite power within us all and everything, even if you can't necessarily tell just anywhere. That's what Wuthering Heights is about.

I wonder if Heathcliff and Catherine eventually got tired of roaming the moors as ghosts, as all long-term couples tend to do of each other eventually ...

And I wonder if post-Catherine Heathcliff would eventually grow nicer if just a single person was really nice and patient with him no matter how cruel he was, because even if Isabella believed he wasn't actually that bad deep inside, she still turned very hateful as soon as she found out he was just marrying her to get on her brother's nerves ...

 

Still want to date Emily Brontë.

Damn. I want to learn Parkour so bad.
I'm just to scared to do all the back flips and jumps. >_>

I feel something changing. I feel like I'm settling into a good routine. Today, I whistled often. Unfortunately, not so much in front of others. My elderly neighbor does that and it's nice. I could be one of those people but I tend to only make noises to myself. XD I've hummed to myself just walking outside. The air was nice. Windy, but sunny. I was in a good mood. I want to join a gym or physical activity classes. I want to make art pieces for my portfolio. Ah. Plans. I feel like I was in a rut so this is amazing for me. I'm going to take my dog for a walk tomorrow. Buy some things. I was planning on saving up money, but with the little I make, I don't think that will go too well. I'm planning on earning more. I'll extend my wait to buy things. I was poor not too long ago. I think if you live with the illusion that you don't have much to spend, you end up spending less. Which is great. Control, organization. I like it. I love music and dancing. I should probably look into dancing more. I think I'd fail at it, or it wouldn't look pretty. But I like that expression. I'm interested in people's lives. My coworker taught a dancing class. Another is figure skating. Everyone's got a story.

I'm not sure why people are disheartened by another person's happiness. We should be happy that others are happy. But I notice people disregard such a person. I had a wonderful teacher in year 10 who skipped around the hallways and always greeted people with a smile, people thought her crazy.
I rather liked her energy and it was inspiring that she felt free to behave like that. I tend to consider happy people to have access to some sort of learned wisdom that i'm yet to stumble upon as theres nothing wiser than contentment. If being happy is what we all strive for, the happiest people in the world are living life the best.


I think I sometimes enjoy the overly excited people, I feed off of their energy >:D
It's a nice counter balance. Not to have preference over people who are calm and reserved as myself and have more in common with perhaps. I expect in time, I will further develop my ability to enjoy the now and not bring myself down so easily. To actively participate in the improvement of my health and be someone i'm proud to be.
