  1. A Particularly Vicious Rumor | Brave My navigator, well, she is obliged, And she promised me, she'd stay by my side. She's the only one who sees this ship is going down, And she's the only one who's not afraid to, she's not afraid to drown. [video=youtube;MpDckqlTp0k] ]
  2. That's interesting and it makes sense. My boyfriend has a nephew with aspergers syndrome. I can see the anxiety on him, so I leave him alone. I know that I prefer to be alone when I am feeling anxious. But sometimes I wonder if I'm being rude to him. Now I think that I'm probably doing the right thing. There was an autistic girl at my stable years ago. She was maybe 11 or 12 years old. Her mom used to drop her off there because the presence of the horses soothed her. I didn't realize that she was autistic until she came up to me one day and tried to kiss me. I was totally startled and knocked her back a couple of times. Not hard, because she was a child. Basically a rising block that caused her to take a step back each time. Her sisters showed up and explained that she was autistic and liked to kiss people. I wondered if I should apologize to the girl, but she actually seemed pretty unphased by the whole thing so I left it alone. I've actually met quite a few people on the spectrum. Each is different. One guy I met while collecting information about hurricane damage. He was very friendly, and very direct. He ran several unusual businesses (stamp collecting and high tech educational products among them). He also spoke very loudly. He was actually one of the best interviews that I had because he was so exacting and specific, and there wasn't a lot of emotional digression. Once, during my conversation with him, I made a generalization about something and he called me out on it. I wish I could remember what it was! He was absolutely right though, and I appreciated it because I myself prefer to be exacting and specific.

  7. I'm guessing it means being a hothead and doing the absolute wrong thing, even though your intentions are good. Or, it could mean feeling helpless to know what the correct action really is. In case you don't know, the story ends with Romeo and Juliette both dying for no good reason. In order avoid marriage to her cousin, and to marry Romeo instead, Juliette tried to escape from her parent's house. To do this, she drank a potion that made it appear as though she died. The potion made her appear dead for nearly two days, long enough for her parents to have a funeral and place her body in the family crypt. The plan was for a servant to notify Romeo that she wasn't really dead, and for him to come to her when the potion wore off. Then, they would be able to run away together. But the full message never reached Romeo. He only heard that she was dead. Distraught, he bought poison for himself, went to her crypt, drank it, and fell down dead at her feet. Juliette woke up moments later and found Romeo dead. She killed herself with his dagger. The good news is that due to the deaths of their children, their respective families all learned from their own mistakes and lived happily ever after.
  8. That was such a clear and beautiful day. I remember walking into work and thinking what a perfect day it was. And right at that moment a plane was smashing into one of the towers. Crazy.
