+--------------------- Bizarre Space Facts ---------------------+
If the Sun stopped producing energy today, we wouldn't know about it for ten million years.
On a clear night in the autumn you can see two million years back in time.
The first living creature to orbit the Earth was a dog called Laika.
People in space are up to 5 centimeters taller than they are on Earth. Without the effect of gravity pressing them down, their vertebrae (sections of their spine) move a little further apart.
The footprints that Neil Armstrong and the other astronauts left on the surface of the Moon will still be there in a million years' time.
Jupiter is so big you could fit the Earth inside it 1300 times over.
On the Sun a person would be as heavy as an elephant is on Earth. The Sun is 330,000 times more massive than the Earth, so its gravity is very strong.

rts
the japanese sometimes really manage to crack me up (at other times they just confuse me): human tetris!
spit it out!
maybe it's the bitch in me, but i do not like people who stutter. i cannot help but feel that they are stupid. now, it's not just any kind of stuttering. people who stutter sylables, i'm okay wit. for example: ca-ca-ca-california. that's fine. you have sort of mental thing which makes it difficult for you to get words out. watever. but people who stutter words or phrases... catch me on a bad day, and i will not have the patience to listen to you. i cannot help but associated you wit an idiot, in which case, why am i even talking to you?! ...this isn't that messed up, right?

---------------- Man crushed by flying cow ----------------
A man was killed after his car collided with a large cow, sending the creature flying into the air before it landed on the car rooftop and crushed the driver. Police said the 26-year-old was driving along the Exmouth-Minilya Road near Carnarvon, in Western Australia, when his Ford utility smashed into the cow, which was standing in the middle of the road. "It is believed that the cow had been thrown onto the roof of the car and dented it on the driver's side, crushing the car on impact," WA Police said in a press release. "The car continued to travel down the road, where it appears the animal has fallen off around 50 metres past the point of impact."

away again
jose's been reactivated to iraq. he's due in october but leaves the middle of this month for training. understandably, we are all upset. he's already gone. and he actually came back. and now... it's times like this that i do my 'duty' and serve my country. cause it's not about being in a war you don't believe in. it's about risking your life so that others won't lose theirs.
another upsetting this is wat this means for chris. if jose has to go twice, might chris have to also? and it's not to say that chris' life is more important or worth more than jose's but chris is married and has a child. ...something to be happy about tho (i think), jose drives a tank. and one would think that he'll be safer in that tin can than not.

do the twist
i feel like our positions have switched. wat wit the trying, disappointments, selfishness, and sleep. it's weird... you don't always decide on things, and yet they happen. and yeah, you have full control, esp to change thing back. but lately i've been feeling pretty apathetic towards stuff, so i haven't been putting much of an effort into our relationship. and i kno, that's bad. but when, for so long, it feels like you're the only one really trying, you get tired. but wouldn't you kno, reepal has seemed to really step up. and just as i'm stepping down!
i kno wat i should do. do as i used to. and i'll be so happy. because this is exactly wat i've been wanting and asking for. but sometimes when things finally start to go your way (and for no obvious reason), you're more confused than you are pleased. and so instead of being happy, you step back and try to examine the changes, which only makes things worse. cause then your person gets confused, 'i thought this was wat you wanted?' and since it's easier to not try than to try, they revert. and mostly likely, just as you're getting used to the idea and starting to get back to your old self.
and if you're really messed up (like i am), since you already 'kno' they're gonna revert, you're just waiting for it. and also waiting for your apathy to go away by itself, rather than to force it away, even tho that would be the better choice. why do we do this? is it that we want to be unhappy? i do self-sabotage a lot... this has really got to change...
