Tonight, I became fascinated by Bertrand Russell. I have been reading and following link after link for hours. I'm obsessed and I need someone to come over and take the computer away from me. Now please. His language is mesmerizing and thought processes unique. I find myself wanting to be like him. So far, I have found only two major differences between us. 1)He is a guy and I am a girl. 2)He is a thinker and I am a feeler. I wonder if two people who are different in seemingly only those two aspects could get along. Thoughts? Feelings? Get it? No? Moving on.

Favourite BR quotes thus far:

"The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time"
- which is why I've been link after linking

"Love is something far more than desire for sexual intercourse; it is the principal means of escape from the loneliness which afflicts most men and women throughout the greater part of their lives"
- not sure I understand this one fully BUT it is still good to know. Is this what all of those angst driven female songwriters of the 90s were singing about(intellectual intercourse)?

"Anything you're good at contributes to happiness"
-La la la la la laaaaaaaa (me singing) la la la

"Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric"
- It's not the cough that carries you off, it's the coffin they carry you off in.

Oh! 3)He's dead and I am alive. Three things.
Whatever, I'm going to bed now. Blurgity blurg blurg.
