Consider this a life update:

Tonight, I'm going to my mom's and I'm taking this season of Angel. Yay!

Watching alone is fun, but it's always more enjoyable with company. Plus, occasionally my mom has some great insights, since she sees the characters in a much different, much less attached way.

Time passes so quickly. There's never enough.

Darla was right - even four hundred years wouldn't be long enough for all there is to do in this world. At times like this, I do envy vampires. Can you imagine actually having the time to sit down and read every wonderful book ever written? That would be absolute paradise.

My heaven, I imagine, will have a large library. With all the interesting books and movies in the world contained there - all in perfect condition. And I'd be able to read every language, so they'd all be originals.

And I'd read in a golden green meadow where life is all around me. I'd rest on moss, under a huge tree... oak, perhaps, and read deep books and light books both.

Of course, heaven wouldn't be complete without stimulating conversation. If all you do is read and reflect, you can only explore your own inner self. Other people are a necessary, though they'd need be respectful of the animals and plants of my meadow.

And I'd have a wide-screen tv... hovering in mid-air, so that it doesn't disturb the ground. And it could come with its own darkness bubble, so that I could watch films and shows in the correct atmosphere.

That would be heaven to me.

Tonight, I'm going to my mom's and I'm taking this season of Angel. Oooh, I know this game!

Tonight, I'm going to my mom's and I'm taking this season of Angel, and the Alias second season DVD's. *sits back and waits for the next person to continue*

I've always loved this icon of Frodo and your post made think again of how little time we really have to read all those wonderful books . . .

It would be really cool if you got to sit and discuss things with the authors of your favorite books. I wouldn't mind going to your heaven.

Your idea of heaven sounds wonderful. Do I need an invite? Also, I wanted to say that I enjoy watching Angel with my mom too, we notice different things and that makes it very enjoyable. Plus, we can sigh over the cute boys together. :-)
