Ok. Carbanated drinks are painful today. Wow.
I was thinking, earlier, about how hard it is to explain to people about things you live with everyday. I mean, I'm sure everyone's heard the idea of "how do you explain a colour to someone from a planet with no eyes?" But, I mean, there are more things like that which just can't be explained.
Like, if someone asked me what it's like to be bipolar... how do I explain it? I mean... my moods change without reason or my control. But how do I explain to someone how it feels to be laughing when you'd really rather shoot yourself? Or to cry when the best thing has just happened to you? How can I explain what it's like to know how I'm supposed to be feeling but feel something entirely different instead?
How can anyone truly understand anything they've never actually experienced?
...now for a completely different train of thought; Our Lady Peace is the band that will be opening for the Stones. Gods. NEED to get those tickets. My sister said she'd get them tomorrow while I was at work, so I hope she really does, or I'll be very sad. ;~;
And I've got some serious scanning and iconning to do, but that'll come when I have time for it.
