Can you be superior about thinking you're not superior, and does that cancel itself out? Well, you can judge for yourself. Overall though, I think it has to do with talking about yourself in relative terms (relative to others) instead of absolutes... Or not. *shrug*

I got an email from the Joann Fabrics announcement list that started "Attention Sewers..." which I read as sewers, as in underground drainage, not as 'people who sew' - it never even occurred to me that they were the same spelling - LOL. And there are some more interesting definitions for 'sewer' that I was also unaware of. (Appropriate movie quote, "My ignorance amuses me.")

Sometimes I feel like if I just knew what words to type into Google, I'd find the answer to all my questions. Problem is, I don't think the exact words have been invented yet. Or at least I haven't found them. And Google refuses to help me unless I actually enter SOMETHING - go figure.

Pointless slogan of the day. As seen on the back of a box of Hostess Cupcakes: "Hostess - Now that's the stuff." All this time I thought it was creme filling, but it was really STUFF!

Been visiting a couple old friends today, Calvin and Hobbes. Now THAT was a funny comic strip - I haven't read a truly 'inspired' newspaper comic strip in eons. (BTW, all those bootlegged car window stickers of Calvin 'watering' things are just, IMO, tacky, and way out of character.) Sorry - can't talk more now - back to C&H. :-)

Places to Visit. The Mirror Project - people submitting photographs of their images in reflective surfaces, and Phoons - people submitting photographs of themselves in the "phoon" pose.

I've realized that I DO trust the process of my life, although the urge to get frustrated or play at NOT understanding it are tempting, and sometimes give the feeling of power, albeit twisted and ultimately false. It's like relaxing into the flow of a larger sense of self - something I've been trying to accept for a while. The experience is... a relief, at the very least. Somethings ARE bigger than you, but they don't always stay like that - you grow to encompass them, and then move on. The part that feels weird is when you don't want to grow to encompass them, but still want to direct them - I don't think it works that way.
