Someone's Hero

I read an interesting quote today by Peter Cyote, he said:
"The idea of absolute freedom is fiction. It's based on the idea of an independant self. But in fact, there's no such thing. There's no self without other people... So the idea of behaving in a way that doesn't acknowledge those reciprocal relationships is not really freedom. It's indulgence."

I thought about this and thought how interesting it was. None of us are really independant, as much as we would like to think so. The thought came to me that even the old single man on the hill really isn't independant. He depends on others for certain needs in his life. This requires him to socialize if even on the most minute scale of life.

Do we really indulge ourselves so much as to think we are truely indepedant in every sense of the word? I would like to know what others think.

Okay, back to my title. So maybe I wasn't a hero, but people were saying my name and asking for my autograph. Well, truth be told, it wasn't me. I was 'Tony the Tomatoe' (aka. the Fazolli's mascot). It was a lot of fun to go out onto the basketball court and be an idiot without anyone realizing who you were. While it is something I would do anyway, I still had a blast.

Today in Crit, this boy said the most interesting thing. "Hey," he nudged. "She reminds me of a cat." All of this in reference to our Design:3D professor. She seemed so facinated by everything people hasd created. She would walk up to it, walk around it, 'paw' it and just seem so facinated. Then came the kicker, "I wonder if you dropped her if she would land on her back?" What kind of question is that? A rather funny one I must admit... Sorry Kay.

I did it. I talked to B and told him someone eventually would have to chose. Maybe not now, but somewere down the road. In few words, we are really good friends. I thought I was going to cry and then I gave it a second thought. Not there, not then (redundant?). Although, I am not sure I want to give up. He is fun and I feel comfortable with him. But is that worth a relationship risk? Maybe not...

On the other hand I was talking with K yesterday and she asked the strangest question. Out of no where comes, "Hey! Have you ever thought of dating N?" I thought to myself, "Um, yeah... I have only decided he is the coolest ever!" (Only a thought...) I felt terrible when she told me that he talked about me a lot on their date last week. If I were in her shoes, I would have been annoyed. The whole thing was just kind of random-o. We are, however, going snowshoeing on Saturday morning at the butt crack of dawn. YEAH!
