Why hello there...
Today, I plan on philosophising. Ok, so earlier I was talking to a friend and he brought up some of his "Rules to Immortality" and I would like to expand on this consuming thought: When you're immortal, or possess immortality, do you just keep ageing forever? Or do you stop at a certain point? I've always thought that you just stopped ageing at a certain point and lived the rest of forever like that. And what if you wish to die? (You know, like those "I'll give you any wish...") Can you still die? Sorry, it's a bit morbid... but it's a thought, nonetheless. And can immortal people make their immortality disappear? Or is it just stuck there? I guess it really depends on the situation, but you can always wonder, right? Imagination only exapnds the mind. BEyond THE SKY is your limit. Hehe, do you like what I did there? Well, anyway, I guess that's my share in philosophy and wonder for today.
I have a little story for you today! Actually, it was from a couple days ago, but I wasn't able to post until today... Ok, so I was with my grandma (dang it, missed 11 11) and we passed an Arby's that was having some construction done. On the sign over the door it said "Even during construction we're open (or something along these lines). Caution: Beware of falling curly fries." It made me giggle a little bit. (: I would've taken a picture, but I didn't have my camera with me. Grrr.... The only thing I forgot! =/ Oh well...
Also, as good as a book that My Sister's Keeper is... like really it's amazing! It's so sad... I'm already about to cry and I started it two days ago. But I would recomend it. It's very deep and it makes you really understand the lives of family members of people with cancer and how it affects every single thing they do and say.
And I believe that is all for today, errm tonight?
Ah, So many questions, so little time...
1. Have you ever read My Sister's Keeper?
2. Do you have any questions?
3. If you could travel back in time; where would you go, who would you want to meet, and why?
4. What is your favourite number?
5. What are you thinking about right now?
6. Is this really the end of my post?
So go be crazy: throw a party! DFTBA ♥♥
Smiles, hugs, and lots of love,
Carrie
1) Nah.
ReplyDelete2) Don't even get me started.
3) [See above]
4) ... haven't we done this one before?
5) No, siriusly.
6) Uh, no?
1.yeah
ReplyDelete2.nope
3.ahhhh...no one really. The past creeps me out. Although, if I were to meet my little self, and then relive the memories I forgot...that'd be cool!
4.3
5."I HAVE A FREAKIN' MIGRAINE >.< AGHHHH STOPPPPP...ooh, pretty doggy!(on my desktop)...AGHHHH MY HEAD HURTS!"
6. no, there's still a little bit more. :0
1) Yuppers
ReplyDelete2) No. I do have a little I could add to the immortality thing, though. [see below #6]
3) Erm... I'm not sure. Though, on a slightly related note, if you hypothetically *go back in time*, it means that you have ALREADY changed the past before you even went back. Which is weird, but cool.
4) 8 (and yeah, Vir--Anonymous, we have done this one before)
5) Not much. "Hey, look, it's about to rain. Or something. I'm bored."
6) Nope. There are three lines of text after this question. :)
So, the immortality thing... I always thought that if you *receive* immortality (i.e., from the gods [or Elders, from the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel]) you just stay the age you are when you receive it. If you're born with immortality, then I think you age to look around twenty/thirty-ish and then you stop. I think (well, the elves in LotR did, so I'm basing it off that).
On the non-killing thing: Norse gods could be killed, I think (Balder definitely did); Greek gods couldn't (could they?); elves in LotR could. A *general* rule of thumb is that if you're not both immortal and a deity, you can be killed by, say, weapons/poison. 'Cause I always thought of immortality as not dying by aging/sickness, not violence.
The elves in LotR could also die ("fade") from extreme sadness.
@xiy and Anonymous- Yeah, I wasn't sure if we did the number question or not. The only one I remember was the "what is the answer to everything?" "42"
ReplyDelete1)Once, but it was when I couldn't sleep so I read it in about 4 hours from 10 pm to 2 am so I don't actually remember all of it...
ReplyDelete2)nope.
3)Dude, Israel in the time of Jesus. That'd be the rawest thing everrrr.
4) 32!
5)What I'm going to write my post about (it's Saturday right now)
6)Almost...
I was about to write something about the immortality thing, but I'm too lazy. Maybe we should read Tuck Everlasting for our 6LCF book club.
