But I don't know if that'd be accurate, seeing as I haven't heard from him in a while in regards to our quirky friend Connor (and especially his evaluation)....<br /><br />However, there's less impatience on this end than usual. I'm not sure how I should feel about that; either I've been too busy to be impatient, or that strange and bizarre "character building" of yours is working. I am not<br />yet thanking you for that.<br />- - - - -<br />I'm convinced that sanity, like reality, isn't constant, and because it's a relative "measurement" of sorts, there can't be two definitions of "sanity" that are exactly the same.<br /><br />However, because I don't like unfulfiled expectations, I've never set a personal definition of sanity. I can mutter to myself, hold full conversations in my mind (some of which escape into the verbal realm), wake up hours before most in my age group would even think about stirring, be overcome with an inexplicable and near-irresistable urge to silly walk a-la-Monty-Python, but that's considered regular behavior in my preception of reality. And frankly, it keeps me going. "I like life, it's something to do," and the only way to keep it fresh, keep it going, keep it bearable, is to spice it up a bit with what the rest of the world calls "insanity".<br />- - - - -<br />Not bad for something whipped up during a quick practice-break, I'd say.g2 (la pianista irlandesa)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11746312007846172620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-10639094633271956752009-08-04T00:25:43.085-07:002009-08-04T00:25:43.085-07:00Kat is in Osoyoos for the summer, so I'm tryin...Kat is in Osoyoos for the summer, so I'm trying to get there as much as I can. I rented a car and made the trip on my own this weekend, hopefully I'll be able to drag some friends with me next time.<br /><br />Haha, I really like your second stanza. Very impressive stuff in such a short amount of time :)Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952331166517430843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-35988008625862539842009-08-04T00:08:36.674-07:002009-08-04T00:08:36.674-07:00Were you alone in the car then?

I thought Kat was going with you, but I've gone back and checked your original post about it and you didn't actually say that, so now I wonder.<br />It still sounds like you had fun though, which isn't bad going for a long drive.
