I read random journals for a very long time tonight. It was a waste of time, really, because I just ended up highly frustrated with the sheer amount of negativity abounding now. I guess war doesn't bring out the best in people, and I'm not saying that people shouldn't write about how they feel.. just that the massive amount of opinions floating around out there is somewhat overwhelming in intensity.

Anyway, the only conclusion I came to is that I'm damned lucky, and I'd like to take this opportunity to inject a little happiness into my evening. Warning: Shmooiness to follow. You may wish to avert your eyes.

I have the best husband in the whole world--and I should know, as I searched the world over to find him. ;) Every night, I fall asleep touching someone who I know loves me more than anything else in the world. I've never met anyone who believed in me like he does. There doesn't seem to be a single thing that he doesn't believe I could do if I wanted--that sort of faith is humbling, when one doesn't even have that much confidence in oneself. If I told him that my dream was to .. move to Alaska and become a goat trader, he'd laugh at me for ten minutes and then start planning how to accomplish it. I like how we still annoy people by acting like newlyweds. I think it's sweet the way he sings along and doesn't always get the words right. I think it's adorable when he forgets and speaks Swedish to me (though that hasn't happened in a very long time.) I love the way he makes me laugh even when there's nothing funny. There's a mole on the back of his neck that I think is precious. I'm proud of his intelligence, and I'm amused by his ego. I'm fond of the way we dance in the kitchen when there's no music. I'm partial to how we call each other "Baby" no matter who's around. I think it's cute that we celebrate the important moments in our life by heading to McDonald's. In short.. there ain't nothing about him that don't do somethin' for me.

So tonight, I'm not going to worry about things I can't change. I'm going to turn my computer off and snuggle into bed with the most beautiful person I've ever met.

And try not to think about terrorist attacks, plastic wrap and duct tape, bombs of any sort, countries ending in Q, scary politicians, poisonous spiders, pneumonia, anthrax, hate crimes, nuclear weapons, chemical warfare, guns, republicans, redneck neighbors, casualties, burglars, unemployment, the economy, sexual offenders, the continued good health of Robert Jordan while he finishes writing Wheel of Time, computer viruses, child pornography, aliens or spam...

That's so sweet! It just must be something about those Swedish men So did you read Crossroads of Twilight? Did you enjoy it? I haven't heard of anyone who enjoyed it, so I haven't bothered to read it even though Mike bought it as soon as it came out.

I read it. It was.. slow. It reminded me a lot of the first book. When I read the series for the first time, I could barely concentrate on the book because it was so boring. (I was reading it mainly because I was obsessed with an online game that was supposedly centered around WoT.) The rest of the books were more interesting, and when I reread the whole series at a later time, I saw a lot of stuff in the first book that was really good stuff.. in retrospect, if you knew what it all led up to. Foreshadowing and history and explanations of how things worked.. that kinda thing. Crossroads of Twilight seemed somehwat the same. They talked about stuff happening but somehow it never did. ;) And most of the book took place during the last ten pages of the previous book. Wtf is with that?! Most of it should have BEEN in the previous book... if he wasn't so interested in selling more books. Having said that, it had its moments. The Mat scenes were kind of funny.

You left out "Amerikanska" *grin*.... Some days I feel a bit frivolous if I don't address a "serious issue" but I agree that we have a whole wonderful life out there to enjoy. Nice to see someone as in love with their guy as I am with mine!

Haha.. you're right, Amerikanska woulda been a good thing to add in the list. ;) Didn't think of that. I know what ya mean about feeling frivolous, but as everyone has been assuring another LJ friend of mine, it's your journal and you can write about whatever you want! The world sucks now, but life is good... :)
