Birthday

Bio
40; army brat; bisexual... still living with my ex partner (uhm, it's complicated?); perpetually confused, which makes me look like i'm doing a ditzy act, but actually it's not put on; middle class in cash if not culture (freaking finally); INFP/INFJ; SSRI, lithium, nicotine lozenge and caffeine dependent. Driven to laziness, odd fits of needing to 'fix' things, subthreshold hypomanic moments of productiveness (rarely) and random weirdness (often). --------------------------- If you have regular suicidal thoughts, please try lithium. It's worth a shot and has worked wonders for me.

Alysa's Open Call- new favorite things

Rate: 18 Flag

there is a bliss to ordinary
especially in the eyes of those of us who have stood outside and craved
the warmth of being normal
of fitting in

i see them playing
happy
goofy
jealousy is tempered with love
desire to step through the screen
and the song rolls through me
her voice exactly right
so few things are exactly right

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
found this video online today, searching for this song. Just liked the family portrayed. *shrug* it's weird how absolute strangers can make your day by just being themselves

I am hard at work inventing the new "normal"
and it consists of people alot like you, h-julie.
in the new normal,
you can just sit there or stand there and not say a word.
Or you can babble til you giggle, or laugh til you cry,
or just sigh and lie down for a nap.

Joy is most joyous when it appears unexpectedly, like your post, Julie and this lovely video. Thanks.

I love when I see a Jules post. I never think of you in any way but one of my favorite people to see post or comment. Best comments on OS.
So I had to step back and see this how you set it up.
Really cool Jules.

Sometimes I wish I could be part of those normal people's lives. Life would be simpler not having to swim against the current as often as I do. But in the end t memories I've gathered watching t

the normal instead of being one of them will be what defines a pretty great life.

Just lovely. I especially like the found video. It's amazing the dynamics you see simply in images. Oh yeah....I guess someone said something about a picture and a thousand words. Your opening stanza really hit me. I get that feeling completely.
