It's 10AM and I hold half-eaten beignets while scouring Border's foreign languages for more than basic conversation. These are very steep costs for closing liquidation. I guess even in death chain bookstores never change. It's fun to watch them fall, sucker-punched by this city full of pride. Yet here I stand, looking for something I can't find in New Orleans anymore.
I don't know which is more amazing, that my life has led me to this point, or that in a few seconds it will have led me to another.

On the topic of optimism, I know I stand apart from others. People like to call me a "born optimist," from time to time. Ironically, the average person who makes this assumption never even knew me when I was young. In fact I'm pretty sure that I, like all people in this world, was born a complete and total pessimist. After all, we come out of the womb shrieking and crying, voicing only a needy concern for ourselves. Of course pessimism has its place for infants, it keeps them alive during a time when their survival relies solely upon others. It is a habitual warning message sent out to mom and dad "Hey! I'm in distress! Someone help me to meet my needs!" Perhaps that is why many cling to it in adulthood as a safety blanket of sorts.
Let me go off topic a bit and tell you where I am coming from here. I have never been a good floutist.
So much research went into this page! Jeez! I even made a sketch-up model so that I don't forget where things go in the room.
Little fun bits included choosing titles of the books on the shelf and paging though all of my old sketches and paintings looking for various pictures of birds! Haha! For a close-up of the diagrams on the wall, check out my deviant art: http://mari-3.deviantart.com/
I know it's been a long time. Work/training has been crazy. I've actually been up to my neck in jury duty awesomeness for the past 5 days as well. <_< heh heh. How I managed to make time this week to FINALLY wrap-up this page I don't really know
I guess it's like they say: If you want something done, ask a busy person.
If that's really how it works then maybe I need to get a second job... then I might finish this chapter before age 40 @_@
