Ten Rules for Being Human

by Cherie Carter-Scott

1.	You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.
2.	You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."
3.	There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
4.	Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
5.	Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
6.	"There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
7.	Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
8.	What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9.	Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10.	You will forget all this.

I'm sitting here downloading music as much as I can before my internet is restarted tomorrow. It's late, I'm tired, I'm always tired, I need a good weekend where I can stay at home all day and not talk to anyone but the TV screen when something good happens... I just want to watch Jim and Pam, reblog every picture that takes my fancy on Tumblr, make yummy pasta (my latest fave thing) for dinner, and be warm under the heat pump.

I love my job. I can't really explain it, but it's just unique and wonderful and busy and hectic, and rewarding, and different. Why am I even doing this? Birth registrations? Death? Marriage? Who would've even thought? Last year, I had my eye on publishing. I still do, but this is quite a merry little interlude while I try to write something substantial and work out where to go next. Travel, money, writing!

Stay tuned. I'm just a graduate trying to figure out what to do next.

roger's playlist number three is underway...

if you don't know what i mean - read Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson. it'll blow your mind!

got some new tunes under my belt, but really, all i want to listen to is 'Night Moves' by Bob Seger over and over again. sometimes i think i'm born in the wrong era, like i really actually belong in america, with the cowboys, dancin' in bars and chilling by the camp fire.

Le film!

Is it just me, or is Hollywood (and other lovely movie-making places! hah) making extremely lovely and fantastic movies these days? So picturesque, so vivid, so wonderful to look at, and watch. I just love the deep storylines, the emotion packed in. It's fabulous. I can't wait to see this movie. This, along with The Vow, (Rachel McAdams, gorgeous as always) and The Perks of Being a Wallflower comes out next year, with Emma Watson.

Can't wait!

I went and saw Barney's Version tonight with my movie friend Kate, and it was really good - however, the trailer set it up to be a comedy, but it was a barrel of cries! I spent most of the remainder of the movie bawling my eyes out, and listening to the girl next to me snivvelling too. Poor poor poor Barney. It just broke my heart. Beautiful film, though. Scott Speedman, SUCH A BABE!

That's my movie titbits for now :) Until I see another movie...
