That's one of the advantages of having archives.

It was like on one of those films when someone is taken by a ghost to another time and / or place and you have to watch on powerless to do anything to try and help the (sometimes) tragedies unfolding before you. Eventually... You find other things to do with the time that was spent here.

Babbler wisdom can be like that, too.
> P.S., I think I'm falling in love. Only the whole 'in love' thing is probably just me being too intense (I have a habit of being in case you didn't notice). My coach (one of the dudes at the gym who is helping me out with my lifting). He is really kind and emotionally sensitive and a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to form (aka a 'form Nazi'). All things I find quite sweet. ... Am learning a lot about slowing the f*ck down rather than acting from impulse (and then wondering why things go horribly wrong). He is calming and solid. I think something might develop in time... But I'm also thinking that even if it doesn't, what we have now is nice. Good for my self confidence to think that someone like him (who I think is so amazing both mentally and physically) could be mentally and physically attracted to me (even if it is the sort of attraction you have with many people).

> alexandra_kThat's quite a PS. Hmm, I've also been seen as a form Nazi (and a regular Nazi). I'm glad you're slowing the f*ck down, feeling confident, trusting, and growing. :-)
