I have a quest. (Okay, I have many quests)
It's an important quest.
One that is more important than the other quests.
I have a quest for world domination.
Not in any sort of aggressive way.
I've explained this before - I really only want what is best for you. Don't get your panties in a knot. I have no plans to steam across Europe into Russia.
(
Mostly because I learn from other people's mistakes and trust me, third time would not be the charm with that escapade)
I also realize that this is all a product of my over active imagination.
(
ahem, delusions)
But here is the thing that I have recently realized about my thought processes - they make my life interesting. It really is a rare day when I am genuinely bored. And other than my own slow separation from reality (
whateves, reality - you are overrated) nothing bad comes from it.
"No harm, no foul," I always say.
Much like Don Quixote, I spend time tilting at windmills. And I haven't the slightest problem with that.
There are many things in this world that I want to fix and I can only do so much. Sometimes I feel frustrated by the amount of problems that are out there and by the stupidity or callousness that causes people to be blind to them.
Sometimes I need a break from these heavy issues and need to get riled up over inconsequential things. I'm lucky that my active imagination gives me the freedom to do this.
Today I say: "So what if my windmills are things like a stupid college newspaper, or the Olympics for interrupting my regularly scheduled programing, or winter - you know for the static and the snow and stuff."
There are much worse things that one could be tilting at.

This is how I feel about the people I love. Especially the people who deserve Gold Star Stickers.
This is how I feel about people on MY LIST.
This is how I feel 50% of the time.
This is how I feel the other 50%
This is how I feel about people who smell bad.
(Yes I do think I'm Scarlett O'Hara - is that a problem for you?)
This is how I feel about people who don't listen to me.
This is how I feel about people who do!
This is how I feel inside.
But sometimes it's more like this.
The times when inspiration hits I lift my soul to the sky.
Sometimes I have to fight for people's rights and this is how I feel.
There are times when I just have to sing and dance - there's simply nothing else to do.
My mama used to say that I was the queen of this place.
(The Queen of "da-nile" get it?)
She's wrong - it's really here.
But all of this adds up to me and there is no one else I'd rather be.
I have felt mentally, physically, and spiritually fractured this week.
I hid in my bed and wallowed.
But while this week was pretty rough I refuse to let it break me.
Now I’m done.
I turned a corner today (figuratively – literally I turn many corners every day).
I feel recharged and rejuvenated.
I did not reach this place of peace and joy all by myself, however - there are some very important things that provided the necessary boost to my spirits.
* Azalea Pink nail polish
* My Pink Pashmina recovered
* A big glass of ice cold orange juice
* Pandora Psychic Radio
* 2 beautiful blue sky days in a row
* The most amazing circle of friends and family
* Inspiring mentors
* Kind and generous people
* My beloved talismans of positive energy
What more do I need with the sun shining on my face and a song in my heart?
"I can't help thinking that this would be a better world if everyone would listen to me."
Seriously.
I have to admit that I can't seem to shake this most recent bout of the crankies and I apologize to anyone who has had the misfortune to cross my path.
But I'm not kidding - the world would be better if everyone would listen to me.
Here is a list of reasons why:
1) I only want what is best for you
2) I dislike unhappiness and gloom
3) I am generally very perceptive
4) I am well-read but also love pop-culture
5) I like celery and dinosaurs
Oh, yeah and here is the most important one:
BECAUSE I AM QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE!!!
If you are good I will give you a piece of gum . . .
