I have a constant and strong desire to stop caring about everything, to let go of everything and just be the ultimate hedonist. I don’t, because I know it won’t be good for me, those around me or those that depend on me. But I know I have that ugliness inside of me to be completely selfish.

The Snowman
This is the snowman that Jody and Robin made. Unfortunately, I couldn’t be part of it, because this is the perfect snowman. :)
The last snowman I made was with Moulsari and they were not nearly as good as my siblings’ snowman. :)
Heart Wrenching
Sometimes I get caught off guard by the memory of hearing you cry. It’s heart wrenching the way you’re sobbing and the frustration I feel at being unable to help you. Just thinking about those moments fills me with a restless frustration so intense it’s as if it’s happening to me again. After everything you’ve done for me I want to take away what’s troubling you, for me to be your superhero instead of the other way around. And then I realise I can’t be your superhero anymore, I can’t help you anymore, I won’t be able to be the person I want to be and my frustration is replaced by self pity and sadness as heart wrenching as your sobbing once was.
Nuclear Energy, xkcd and Log Scales
This is such an amazing xkcd entry, that I had to repost it. It’s super clever, snarky and it accurately shows why I think safe nuclear energy is the way forward. We can bandy about looking for more sources of fossil fuels, shale gas, oil sands, and even to a degree solar energy, but to me all those options are voided at this realisation.
