late night excursions to anywhere, rambling about the conscience revolution, colors, adventuring, trees, dancing, the cosmos, love, exploration, talking to strangers, black pens and black coffee and a notebook, sitting at the coffee shop and drawing people when they aren't looking and pretending to be a robotic ghost zombie from the future.
etc etc.
and hugs. and kitties.
Both like minded and not liked minded people, as long as they're minded.
Keeps me balanced. I've got broad interests.
"The most important thing we've learned, So far as children are concerned, Is never, NEVER, NEVER let Them near your television set -- Or better still, just don't install The idiotic thing at all. In almost every house we've been, We've watched them gaping at the screen. They loll and slop and lounge about, And stare until their eyes pop out. (Last week in someone's place we saw A dozen eyeballs on the floor.) They sit and stare and stare and sit Until they're hypnotised by it, Until they're absolutely drunk With all that shocking ghastly junk. Oh yes, we know it keeps them still, They don't climb out the window sill, They never fight or kick or punch, They leave you free to cook the lunch And wash the dishes in the sink -- But did you ever stop to think, To wonder just exactly what This does to your beloved tot? IT ROTS THE SENSE IN THE HEAD! IT KILLS IMAGINATION DEAD! IT CLOGS AND CLUTTERS UP THE MIND! IT MAKES A CHILD SO DULL AND BLIND HE CAN NO LONGER UNDERSTAND A FANTASY, A FAIRYLAND! HIS BRAIN BECOMES AS SOFT AS CHEESE! HIS POWERS OF THINKING RUST AND FREEZE! HE CANNOT THINK -- HE ONLY SEES! 'All right!' you'll cry. 'All right!' you'll say, 'But if we take the set away, What shall we do to entertain Our darling children? Please explain!' We'll answer this by asking you, 'What used the darling ones to do? 'How used they keep themselves contented Before this monster was invented?' Have you forgotten? Don't you know? We'll say it very loud and slow: THEY ... USED ... TO ... READ! They'd READ and READ, AND READ and READ, and then proceed To READ some more. Great Scott! Gadzooks! One half their lives was reading books!"
Reading is fabulous, unless, of course, you happen to be reading blasphemous literature of the devil. This includes the Harry Potter books (that one's a given), George Orwell's 1984, any texts about any "movements" besides the true and righteous movement of ultra right wing evangelical Christianity, and even that, all such books can only be read if approved by the Focus on the Family Organization. The only female author allowed in the home should be Ann Coulter.
Open hearts.
