| Immortality with a price... |

[i]Do you care if I don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight? Will you think of me?
Will I shake this off? Pretend it's all ok?
That there's someone out there who feels just like me?
There is.

Just finished watching [i]Underworld[/i]. I'm almost as much of a sucker for Vampire stories as I am for time travel ones. There's something about immortality that speaks to us as a culture. I think the reason Vampires fascinate us so much is that they give up so much to achieve that immortality; it comes at a price. Would you give up sunrises, kill to live, and watch the ones you love grow old and die just to ensure you never do? I don't think I could make that choice. I guess it comes down to living a short time filled with happiness and love, or a long time in misery and loneliness. I like to think I'd choose the former.
Phil told me yesterday that his fiance Andrea has met someone she thinks would be "perfect for me" and they wanted to know how I'd feel about going on a blind date. I can't say the idea thrilled me at first, but part of me is excited by the prospect of actually getting out and doing something that goes against my tendency to resist change. I'm hoping that maybe this could be a major step in the process I'm taking in making myself a better person. There's a good chance that the whole thing will be a collosal waste of time, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. Those who make the attempt may not win every time, but those who never play don't even have the chance.
Third practicum approaches rapidly, only a little more than a month left, and I meet my new associate teacher on Friday. I'm petrified that this situation will be as bad as second practicum. People keep telling me to relax, but how can I when so much rides on a month of practice teaching?

blind dates can be great ... or they can crash and burn ... personally though ... like u said .. it could be a waste .. or lead to something great ... i'd say do it ... or you'll never know right?

very true... who knows, my friends have been a good judge of character in the past and I'm sure they wouldn't set me up for a disappointment right? ;)
Course, if they described her as being "nice" then I'd be a little worried!

Hey, Ive known about lots of blind dates gone good.. Take a chance, scre wit, the worse it can get is one night in your life of pure boredom of new found hope for el amor..regardless at least you will never look back and wonder. Just wander on and know.

I enjoyed Underworld, but why were there no female werewolves?

Yeah, what was up with all those male werewolves? Maybe they had them separated for protection? But then again, the female Vampires kicked ass, why wouldn't the female werewolves? Curious...
