Listening to: Believe it or not ~ nothing at all today. I've had a great day with my head stuck in books of my choosing.
Read today: Out of My Mind, Richard Bach (not his best work, I'm afraid to say. Maybe I'm just a bit jaded at the moment.) and an oldie but goodie, Quantum Leap: Prelude, Ashley McConnell (I couldn't stand it. I had to have a fix of Dr. Sam Beckett. Oh to have the series on DVD!)
Sheesh ~ maybe I actually am as crazy as I say I am. Last entry, I was sobbing my eyes out because I was so lonely and tragic and tonight I'm wondering whether it's really possible in theory to use diamonds as a substrate for computer chips and hybridize them using human nerve cells. Granted these questions come from reading the Quantum Leap book but the best fiction comes from a foundation of fact, hmm?
No luck on finding the hybridization theory info yet but I did find a few mentions about using diamonds as a substrate. Just enough info to let me know that in theory, it could work if it's not already in use (seeing that one article was released in 1999). I don't know what I'll do with this information but it's a neat thing to know. I think. I was confused by one point on the first link: how is it possible to turn a diamond into graphite, simply by shearing it into layers? Wouldn't each layer still have the essential crystalline diamond matrix? Yes, diamond and graphite are both forms of carbon but I don't understand how simply shearing a diamond into layers disrupts the matrix enough to form graphite...
...and nowhere near a tangent: Where did I hear that where the guy said that he wanted to 'pitch some woo'?
Going back to last night's entry...
I keep trying to put some kind of spin on what I said yesterday, as if I am trying to write it off. I can't, not really. I suppose I still believe in some version of (doing my best Priest (from the Princess Bride) impersonation) Wuv...TROOOoooo WUUuuuuuvvvv. I don't mean "the glass slipper fits so let's get married in the sight of god and have a kid and all our problems will disappear!" kind of love.
Well, what the hell do I want?
That's a good question ~ I just don't know how to put the answer into words. I was originally going to write this entry in the form of a letter to the person that I hope is out there for me but I couldn't for the same reason. I just don't know how to put it into words...plus, it felt a little as if I were putting State secrets out for anyone to read.
Finding the words feels somewhat like trying to figure out how to turn graphite into diamonds with a bunsen burner.
...on another tangent (somewhat related ~ but not): I was going to let one entry go without mentioning 'him' but I can't. I have to admit it. I feel kind of goofy but I have to say it. Trip has a very sexy...nose. (Yes, I know that Trip is a fictional character but indulge me.) I can honestly say that I have never been able to say that before. Something about the shape of his nose, especially when I see his face in profile ~ ah! Heaven.
Once again, I am forced to admit that I realize that I am definitely weird.
