| What is this? What is this familiar warmth that comes from within, that makes me oddly happy with no reason?
Ah. Of course.
It's that.
A crush.
Isn't it strange how these things come along? I know in the past I've been called a "bucket of love," and I'll admit that I fall for people easily, but to be honest I was beginning to get used to life without attraction. It's an easy, simpler life with plenty of "me" time and gaming and friends and all-around fun.
All the same, it's kind of fun to feel that silly senseless warmth just from thinking about someone else.
Even if it's just a pipe dream.

| There are two kinds of scientific progress: the methodical experimentation and categorization which gradually extend the boundaries of knowledge, and the revolutionary leap of genius which redefines and transcends those boundaries. Acknowledging our debt to the former, we yearn nonetheless for the latter.

| Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

| To die: to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: aye, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause.
