(no subject)

You know your hummingwolf is sick when, not having gone for a walk since Saturday, she still does not want to leave the house on Wednesday. Feeling less feverish than yesterday, though, and chances are that I will leave the house today anyway. Or maybe tomorrow. Definitely have to do something elsewhere this week.

Everyone wonders at some time or another how their life would be changed if they'd made different choices. With my life the state it's in, I've certainly wondered that a lot.

About half an hour ago, I had a sudden vision of myself having taken a path I seriously considered taking a while back. In this other world where I'd done things differently, I was much happier than I am here. But I had cut off the possibility of a greater happiness and felt myself locked into a lesser life than I could have had otherwise. I was happy, but there was a gnawing hunger that could not be satisfied.

It's strange. Miserable as I may have been lately, the chance of a greater happiness I'm not sure I believe in is still more important to me than what I'd have gotten if I'd done that one thing differently.

Hey! I finally found a difference between you and me! I only get a fever for five hours, and the two weeks following that I'm only bogged down by a killer case of apathy. Okay, that wasn't a significant difference.

I haven't wondered how things would have been different for me if I'd made better choices in a while. I think because I'm starting to realize that the choices I made weren't really choices at all, and I actually did pretty well with what little I had to work with. I'd discuss this more, but then it'd count as a MARZ Saga spoiler. :o)

Do hummingwolves have fur-tails or feather-tails?

The thing is, if I snuggle you right now, there will be Harvey snuggles included. Not a bad bargain, but the Harvey snuggles include attacks on one's tail by Sammie.

Now, as for getting rid of "What a Girl Wants"...

We all live in a Yellow Submarine,
A Yellow Submarine,
A Yellow Submarine...

That help?

Oh, there are plenty of differences between us! It's just a question of how significant one wishes to believe the differences are.

Seems to be fur. At least that's what [livejournal.com profile] hai_kah_uhk put in the picture she drew for me.

I can live with having Sammie attacks on my tail as long as they come with snuggles. ::nod::
