Yes, I guess I've gained enough experience and self understanding to know what it is I want, to be able to tell if someone is a real possibility or not almost right away, and to trust that my fist impressions of a person are usually correct, and I have to say I didn't find it, or him, rather, at El Rio. So I guess I will keep a wanderlusting away...tomorrow my friends and I are going to a bachelor firefighter auction. Don't plan to bid, but you never know what might happen... <br /><br /><br />Peter - I hope so.

I was really meant a more archaic form of the word... a strong desire for or impulse to wander, and I meant it in regards to your impulse to mentally search for all of the possible dance partners, rather than focusing on accomplishment with one. I probably should have expressed it differently, though.Blind Fly Theaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09011262001970131894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362903411474112827.post-42600500340630232322009-04-23T12:20:00.000-07:002009-04-23T12:20:00.000-07:00Wanderlust... in reality, it's how I manage and ba...Wanderlust... in reality, it's how I manage and balance it that counts, and I seem to have gotten better as time passes. In the proper dosage, it is no doubt an asset... sometimes I indulge, but am pretty good at compensating. For everything, there is a season, and so my blanket statement is just that.

But I found a BBC article saying the series was going to be remade for the big screen by Sam Mendes. <br /><br />David - I hope so, I hope I can do more than just give people something to look at or read for a few moments. Being an artist, I sometimes think it's kind of useless. I don't save lives, build houses or do anything that makes an immediate impact on how other people live. But I hope it can help anyone in some way...<br /><br />Swing goth, I'm not sure, but I think it's new, started by the guy pictured above, so it might be a local SF thing for now. <br /><br />Yes, I definitely have wanderlust for sure. It helps, though, to have family that go to exotic places and are able to put me up for free. But I hope it's not a liability to accomplishment. Have you found it to be so? A lot of my paintings have been inspired by my travels. Some writing too. And if I get hired by Disney or Pixar I'm sure I can resist the urge to wander so I can work on the next big blockbuster, at least until vacation time...Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01679485132057382813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362903411474112827.post-26330102532139153722009-04-23T10:43:00.000-07:002009-04-23T10:43:00.000-07:001) "I get to go to Fiji!

And just yesterday I was watching the BBC series "Lost in Austen" and the main character who has switched places with Elizabeth is at Netherfield dancing with Darcy.

It'll be a great place for my nieces and nephews to spend some of their formative years in. <br /><br />Yeah, I wish I'd video taped them, they sounded like the Gypsy Kings but with female vocalists, and cooler. And I wish I'd met Mr Darcy there too, or at least someone very like.

If so you must find their secrets. I think you have shared some of their secrets:"Treehouse resorts, hours away from New Zealand, biggest city in the colonial south pacific, scuba diving."<br /><br />I wish I could hear the band and that Mr. Darcy had been there. I love Mr. Darcy.
