Thanksgiving weekend, Day 2

After a very long night, it's finally quiet here on the sudbury front. The dog spent the night confused and a bit stressed so had me up half the night as well, until I put him up on the bed at which time he took over my pillow and left me without blankets. But how can you move him when he's finally sleeping and looks so cute?

Trying to catch up on sleep here but it's not working. Just wandering through a friend's blog as well, realizing how similar we actually are (do you realize that analect? your posts from 2005 make so much sense to me). I've spent the last year or so trying to sort myself out, figure out exactly who I am and what I want in life and find myself being drawn to people like the banff group, who share similar thinking patterns. Along with that, I think in the last year I have found myself more closely involved emotionally with more people than I have been in my whole life. Maybe that's why being here is so hard? I'm not emotionally attached to anyone in this city, with the exception of andy. But then he knows me as the real me, not the guarded, defensive sudbury-mask-me. So funny how relationships and personalities work, eh? I spend alot of time thinking of such things, wondering what draws certain people together as friends, what attracts certain people to each other, sometimes the most seemingly unlikely of attractions.

Interesting. Watching a tv show and a point was made that lust, love and committment all come from different areas of the brain. Fact or fiction? And which one should take over at any given point in time? Is there room to have all three play out separately?
