Needs

There are a few things that I think we all need in life:-

1. Friends. Without them, I'd feel pretty pathetic. I try to keep in touch with them as often as I can and am sorry that I haven't been so on the ball lately. There are so many people I need to catch up with. Some 3-D and some 2-D, so to speak, hehe. I have 3-D friends in Australia, New Zealand, Scotland, England, Canada, USA, Sweden, Germany, Poland, Romania and Norway that I haven't spoken to, let alone seen for between 2 and 6 years. I am going to make an attempt to find them. For a few, I might put their names on here just on the off chance they surf by one day. Who knows, worth a try. Every now and again over the past few years I have tried to find them, now, I am pulling out all the stops, not that there really were any but, you know...........
There is also a lot of people I've only ever known online that I would like to be in touch with again. They should hopefully be a little easier to find.

2. Love. Damn have I got that. I've got two little girls that think Daddy is the Sun (to varying degrees of course, they need their discipline and sometimes I'm relagated to a celestial body slightly less close than the Sun :) ). They are my life. If anything bad happens, Daddy is there, they know that. I gave them each a Dream Dragon to remind them that Daddy loves them even though he may be at work or, just not around all the time. There is nothing like the love of a child. The smiles, giggles and "I love you's" are the best I'll ever get. I was always looking forward to being a parent and now I am and I have the best girls in the world. I won't be having any more children for my own reasons but lets just say that with these two, why would I?

3. Music. I was listening to Elton John the other day (I love trying to sing "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road") and I came across "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" and thought that one line was particularly apt for me. "I'm sleeping with myself tonight/ Sick and tired/ Thank god my music's still alive". Well, duh! Nothing could kill my music, or my love of music. It's the most important thing outside my girls and my friends. Without my music, I would not be the person I am in some ways. Music affects me on many different levels. There's so much music out there, and I want to hear it all, even if I don't like it. Actually, there's a song that's been in my head for 3 months now and I see the video clip on TV every few weeks or so. It's a disturbing little tune called "High Voltage" and I can't remember who it's by but at first I didn't like it but now, love it. Funny how that happens. Anyway, the song's really only disturbing because of the clip.

4. There is no number 4.

5. See number 4, but replace relevant text with '5'

6. Sense of humour. If I lost this, then I think no one would even talk to me. It drives me half the time and drives people to distraction most of the time, but I wouldn't have it any other way. if we can't laugh, and make others laugh then, well, shouldn't we just give up and sit quietly in a corner bu ourselves reading Nietzche and wondering why he too, had no friends.

7. Books. After CD's and music related things, books make up the largest part of my materialistic exploits. Books are great. Some are great to read, some are great just to look at and some are great to have on hand in case one day, I may need to know something about something and instead of surfing the net or going to a library, I just need to know what box to look in. Books rule. They are also good for pressing flowers, but that's only something I read somewhere and would not know first hand.
