Meme from </a> ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1){kind=small} admiral_sabComment on this post. I will choose 6 interests from your profile and you will explain what each of them means (and why you're interested in them). Here are the ones she picked for me: Wolves: I've always loved wolves. Beautiful animals. I also have thought myself to be very much like one. Sometimes travelling in packs, but really a solitary animal. I've always wanted to have a pet wolf. Or a part-wolf dog. Instead I've got myself two beautiful Huskies, which are close. Goju karate: I wanted to learn karate for years. Self defense plus good exercise. I never got around to it until a year ago or so. It got me exercising regularly plus made a very good friend out of one of my instructors at the Nav school - a guy who was also practicing. Poker: What can I say? I love to gamble. Poker allows me to think, use numbers, play the odds, and give me a good chance at winning. Whether it be the ever-popular Hold'Em or Omaha or 7 card Stud or Razz or Triple Draw ... I love challenging myself and always improving my game. Firefly: Is awesome. Joss Whedon is God. Jayne is hot. Action. Sci-Fi. Space. Action. Comedy. What else can a girl ask for? Hiking: I'm big on photography. Hiking gives me the opportunity to take lots of pictures. Given I live on Vancouver Island right now, there is lots of hiking, lots of trails, and lots of picture taking to be had. Also the puppy likes to walk (and run and jump and play) and hiking is a way she can do that. Scotland: Scotlant is another thing I've always had this irrational love for. I've never been there. I'm not Scottish. But since I was young I relished everything Scottish. I read up on their history, my beloved Mary, Queen of Scots. I always wanted to write and be a writer, and I did research on Scotland to be a setting for one of my novels. I researched and read and mainly I think just wanted to know it all. I still have my notes, though I've never written anything other than fanfic and DC stories. |

Some more photos ... I tried to do these the other day, but LJ only uploaded half of them and it was all confusing and I just left it. So here they are now. |

I have my ADvanced Nav final tomorrow morning. I have done so little studying for this that it isn't even funny. I just can't focus. I sit down, and start reading my review notes ... and because I'm sitting still and not really doing much my mind starts to wander and so I start thinking about things. Yesterday was so much better. I was able to keep myself distracted and busy (not studying though) until going to a friends for Thanksgiving dinner. Today wasn't great though. *sighs* This test is going to go so badly tomorrow ... |

Why is it that when you're down, things always exist that tend to point out your situation to you. I was watching last week's Desperate Housewives earlier and the conversation between Susan and Ian just hit close to home (and we won't go into the fact that his name is Ian either ..)
.... "While love can be spontaneous and wonderful it can also be selfish. And sometimes, the best thing you can do is to walk away" .... "Sometimes walking away can be the best choice - its certainly safer - but what do you do when you find someone that makes you feel joy when you thought you never would again? Do you just let them go? No." Alas. This is the way the wind blows ... |
