The sketch done of me by Radomir in Belgrade. I don't think he got the mouth right. But I was trying not to smile the whole time.

We have a natural compulsion to fill empty spaces. They can be those empty spaces inside of us that come as a result from trying to make your way in a world that doesn’t always embrace unique. In the journey of life just try to fine someone as normal as you, if not, then a whole bunch. Oh and if you love someone set them free, and if you have to stalk them, they probably were not yours in the first place.
"Do you know where you're going to?" (Mahogany, theme song)
I have been a loner all of my life. This has been both good and bad. I just am not a group sort of person. Not that I don’t like being around people, because I do. But I can only take them in certain doses and then I need to steal away to recharch. I have never quite understood this compulsion of mine, but it is mine and therefore just fine.
"Do you like the things that life is showing you?" (song lyrics continued)
I remember bumping into a highschool acquaintance when I was at the University of Guelph. Hugh was his name. He said, “You were such a mystery at school. You could hang out with any group but you didn’t belong to any. You were just on your own.” That was an insight because no one had put it to me that way before.
"In the arms of an angel..." (Sarah Mclachlan)
But there are repercussions to this personality trait. For starters, a lot of time by yourself. This results in an over exuberance when around people because you interact with them rarely. It also means that you have an overabundance of being in your head time. This can lead to a little bit of neurotic behaviour. But as long as you are aware of this, that’s o.k.
"They called her Wildfire..." (Michael Murphey)
But ultimately time passes differently for a person mostly in their own company. Thoughts and behaviour works differently. People don’t always understand you nor should you care. But sometimes, solitude can have its impact, so you had best like yourself, because you are spending the vast majority of your time with only yourself.

I find you are such interesting and good company – people are very fortunate to know you.
You are afterall, my mother …
hi, just checkin in
And of all posts to check in on. Doing well, leaving Abruzzo tomorrow. Wine very cheap in Italy. A good Moltopulciano is only $4. You can get a litre of lesser boxed wine for $1. Craziness.
I love this post for the pictures and the song references.
Thanks, Sara for explaining a little bit to us what makes you unique and special. 🙂
Actually, I see myself in you,because I also prefer my own company and I can take people only in small doses. Maybe that is why I always had my nose in a book when we were at SMLS. lol
Unique and special – yup that’s me, and a number of other adjectives. I sometimes get sick of my own company however as I am a bit neurotic :o). Yes, I enjoy my books. That’s funny, I can totally see you back at SMLS with your nose in the book. The vision is very clear!!
i check in on alot but dont comment……too lazy, was just sayin hi. 25,878th
Thanks dude. Hope they are entertaining. By the way, Italian drivers are crazy, they all think they are race car drivers and on these windy roads, I am surprised there are not more deaths.
