Beautifully Unique : Hot Dog!!

Hot Dog!!

This was Shadow on a high-temperature Summer day. It had been so hot, that my Dad claimed to have witnessed our feline, Katrina panting like some tiger at the zoo!! If Shadow looks a bit overweight, that is probably because she was. Middle-aged, and obese. Lest anybody wonder, those twain factors did not end Shadow's life.

I have been--knock on wood--so very happy lately!! Because, apparently, having tasks such as my "Secretive Writing Project" somehow gives this little existence of mine purpose. Plus meaning. And staying awake night after night past 12AM working on this Project--however unhealthy may it seem--swiftly became thrilling!! I have even jokingly called it my "nightlife", as though I'm out partying hard to get drunk!! Yeah. Like that is ever going to happen!! Relax. I'm not that insane!! I am, however on a "high" of the sorts right now. Like when some Olympic gold medalist returns to America, and, after his whirlwind success he then appears listless. My "Secretive Writing Project" is nearly finished. I think!! See, I wrongly thought it was finished in December!! Oops. Now a question has resurfaced within my mind since then. Ready? What am I going to do with myself {Except for catch up on some much missed sleep!!} after this project is finally complete? Answer? I haven't a clue.

Shadow does looks as though she is having a good "laugh"!! I concur!!
Do you mind yet another Robert Downey Jr. reference? I hope not, because here it comes!! ;)
The other day, I was talking to my {Very smart for his age!!} nine-year old cousin about "Iron Man 3", whether or not RDJ will ever return as Tony Stark and how once RDJ was recently quoted as saying something to this effect: "People are continuously asking me what are your next plans? Here's the thing. I haven't any. And I've always been like that.". He is "in the moment". A good way to live, I told my cousin. Because, really? Whose Plans do my future hold, anyway? God!! For the first time in so many years, I see that now.... ;op; March 27, 2013 at 7:50 AM

Wonder if we will ever have a Summer that hot - I shouldn't think so, LOL.

Thank-you for the comment!!
My Writing Project is exactly what its name implies. Secretive!! Even those who are in close proximity to me haven't a clue what it is!! Because I am mysterious.... ;op; March 27, 2013 at 9:51 AM

"It's A... Terrible Privilege"

{Taken from "The Avengers"}
Tony Stark: You know, I've got a cluster of shrapnel, trying every second to crawl its way into my heart.
[Stark points at the mini-arc reactor in his chest]
Tony Stark: This stops it. This little circle of light. It's part of me now, not just armor. It's a... terrible privilege.
Bruce Banner: But you can control it.
Tony Stark: Because I learned how.
Bruce Banner: It's different.
[Banner tries to read the computer screen, but Stark slides the data aside with his finger so the two can see face-to-face]
Tony Stark: Hey, I've read all about your accident. That much gamma exposure should have killed you.
Bruce Banner: So you're saying that the Hulk... the other guy... saved my life? That's nice. It's a nice sentiment. Save it for... what?
Tony Stark: I guess we'll find out.
[Banner and Stark get back to work at their respective computers]
Bruce Banner: You might not enjoy that.
Tony Stark: You just might.

I am a 31-year old American woman. I was born with multiple birth defects. Craniosynostosis. {I did not have any soft spots.} Congenital diaphragmatic hernia. {I had a hole in my diaphragm.} And Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. {I had an irregular, rapid heartbeat.} All three birth defects have been surgically repaired!! I live with "developmental delays". Learning disabilities, if you will. Such as--unfortunately--premature short-term memory loss. Oh, and I have attention deficit disorder, as well!! I do not like to evade such an issue as my learning disabilities. No. It hurts sometimes to be different. I was also diagnosed with a condition called folliculitis decalvans. {I am more than likely going to lose my hair, go bald, and unveil twain Frankenstein-like surgically-created craniosynostosis scars. Permanently.} But God is gradually teaching me that we are all, as my phrase goes, Beautifully Unique!!
