and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing the rest, and, I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground by my feet." - Sylvia Plath
It was originally written in her novel The Bell Jar (set in the 1950's) to show the character's, Esther, frustration at society and restrictions it set upon women and how she wanted to do all the exciting things men did, but she felt forced to conform. Obviously that's not what it means to me, but it holds true in the way that I have all these options for my life and I just don't know what to choose.

Thanks for the advice.
Yeah, that's something I worry about often. Or just not fulfilling my dreams and aspirations in general and resorting to becoming a suburban housewife (I don't have any problem with housewives, it's just definitely not the life for me). But there are tons of things I want to do, as I said.
It reminds me of one quote that I like (I saw it on zenpencils.com the other day), it goes:
"I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet, and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor and another was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond an

Assuming you're replying to me (and, for some reason, you're not using the "reply" button), that is controversial. Like I said, some scientists believe life begins when the egg is first fertilized and others believe it begins when the baby is out of the womb.

Well, people want to have sex. It's often an important aspect of relationships even if you don't want to have kids. I think sex is some sort of way to get closer to your partner and express your love for them (which, I suppose, is why they call it "love-making"). So couples will do that even if the purpose isn't to conceive a child.

It's not that their brains are undeveloped that's the big issue, it's the question of when does life begin? Obviously you believe it begins while the baby is still in the womb (perhaps the moment the egg is fertilized by the sperm), but some believe that life doesn't begin until the baby is born and out of the mother. So, if the baby isn't alive until birthed, then abortion isn't killing.

I think it'd be an honor to be murdered by majestic wolves. That way, after you're dead, at least people won't be thinking, "Damn, how was she so stupid as to get killed by that son of bitch?" Instead they'd say, "Damn, that if one majestic fucking wolf," and they'd all follow it around and forget to go to my funeral.

YES! Those are always my favorite. Though, if I read/watch them too much, then I get paranoid and I start freaking myself out so I can't read/watch them a lot. But I still love them.

It actually makes writing a lot more comfortable than the way most left-handed people write. My grandmother always ensured that we wrote that way as opposed to the way that was natural to us. It's a lot better so I don't screw up papers I have.

Personally, I don't mind Directioners. It's just the ones that say One Directon is better than the Beatles or some shit like that who piss me off.

True. After every question, it gets a bit annoying (especially if it's math where personal stories are irrelevant), but I usually just take the time to read instead. It's all good. :)

It's still a matter of opinion. If we're talking about all of that, let's just remember that Twitter didn't even exist in the 60's. That point is irrelevant.

But the bathtub is right there and it doesn't appear that he had been taking a showers recently (besides, if he had and the water was hot/warm, the mirror would be foggy). Anyways, it looks like they were just hanging out together (presumably in the attic or the uppermost floor) and then one guy had to take a shit and the other posed for a picture.

Actually, it was January several years ago when I saw it. . . . A bit late for Halloween.

Because only people in the United States celebrate Thanksgiving. Granted, only Christians celebrate Christmas, but there are tons of Christians all around the world while United States citizens are generally limited to the United States.

Well, wolves do happen to be pretty dang majestic. What can I say?

The only drama I like is in television shows, and there's usually gotta be some other plot rather than just the drama to keep me entertained . . . with the exception of Desperate Housewives (the soap opera, not the reality TV show). It's my guilty pleasure.

I don't think I get crazy obsessed about anything physical. Mental, yes. But not physical. Not unless I had an accident and then I was determined to protect myself, no matter what the costs. . . . Haha, that sounds like some sort of movie drama.

Do you think being able to read others' minds would ease your anxiety?

as well. But, at the moment, I don't really know. I have a million different dreams and visions for my life and I've yet to come to a choice. I might somehow mash them up all together, but that seems unlikely.

Yeah, when you type (or really just writing in general, for me) I have time to think things through and I have visuals and I can revise and edit and all that jazz and it sounds better. When I'm talking, it just gets all screwed up and I forget my original point and I can't look back to see what I was talking about and, myself as well, my temper sometimes gets out of control.
Scientists can be politicians. In fact, I think it would better if scientists WERE politicians because that way they would look at the cold, hard facts as opposed to resorting to other idiotic excuses and, if we're looking at the stereotypical scientist, then they would be completely unbiased in their actions (well, up to a certain point). I think Neal Tyson Degrasse was talking about this as well. About how the government is made up completely of lawyers and judges and just law professions in general (which makes sense, it is politics after all) and that he thinks there should be other professionals in there a
