Sometimes questions are more powerful than answers

About Me

I moved from Vermont to the city a year and a half ago, and I'm working as a paralegal at a large firm...my current assignment? I'm reviewing three MILLION documents. I've done the calculations. This will take me 72 years to complete. Awesome. Hm, what else.... I LOVE desserts. This means if I ever go out to dinner with you, I will try to manipulate you into ordering my second choice dessert, and then I will eat both. I adore France and French culture, so if I could end up living on Boulevard St. Germain in Paris someday, I think my life would be complete. I hate flying, but I enjoy the cute airplane food. And, I'm also afraid of popping balloons. Seriously. Stop laughing.

Heroes:

"This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."

the danger of dreams

I read this quote on the plane yesterday: "Dreams can be dangerous things. They smoulder on like a fire and sometimes consume us completely." Generally, I'm an idealist. Although this quote may appea...
