What's YOUR Raison d'etre*?

*reason for living

Mine is... helping and doing stuff for others. And myself, too. Stuff that makes poeple happy.

I honestly have no particular reason for living. I get up each morning because there is nothing else to do and simply live from moment to moment. I eventually go to sleep and do the same thing. I fufill obligations more out of a fear of failure than because of a goal. I take what little pleasures I can out of each day and trudge onto the next. I never really look at the big picture, and thats how I prefer it.

edit: That wasn't meant to sound as depressing as it did. I'm quite satisfied for the moment, actually.

Because death sucks more than life.

And here you thought I was getting cheerier lately!

Nah. Got a few, actually. One, because I don't want to depress the Leopold. And, y'now, don't wanna die without paying him back for the whole making-me-not-drink-as-much-as-I-want thing by inflicting myself upon him IN PERSON. That's the biggie, actually: I love him and I don't wanna go away just yet. I also wanna leave a little something for the history books more than "she lived, she did some crap, she died". Preferably enoguh to have several history books SOLELY ABOUT ME, but we'll see about that. *preen preen, mirror mirror* After that, it's this big jumble of stuff that's fun and nice to do, such as: descending on friends bearing unexpected gifts; getting back at people who bug/startle/playfully annoy me TOO DAMN OFTEN; finding those sudden moments of unexpected beauty, you know, like when you're sitting in the passenger seat just sort of zoning out, you pass something and have a sudden fleeting thought that it feels like a scene from a movie and BAM everything goes into this perfect perspective, and you wish there was some way to record everything you saw, everything you felt, heard, WERE at the time because there is no other way to get across to anyone the perfection, the fact that everything, right then, was in it's place - every flaw just makes it even more whole, and right there the only words to describe it is that it feels like an explosion of religion, like that moment is exactly why people find and have faith; eventually writing it down and either exciting or boring people with it; waking up, grumbling a bit, making to get up and then realizing it's saturday and just happily flumpfing down in the nice body-warmed covers; finding your old music casettes and spending an afternoon listening to Moist, Blur, The Cure and the soundtrack to Wayne's World with a cranberry Vex in hand and creeping up on another one of those perfect godlike moments; flopping on the couch after a long day, grumbling and angering at the empty room and then having your dog come up and lay on your feet and nose your knee and SHE'S SO CUTE AND FLUFFY AND YAY; giant cushions shaped like Pac-Man; techno remixes of the Pac-Man song; finding something that both rocks and is terribly obscure, and holding it and hoarding it like some kind of secret; secrets; no-name brand sour cream and onion rings; Cheese Doodles; chocolate mousse; all three of those serving as your three meals for the day; going out for bad Chinese with good friends; being introduced to a band like Rush while stoned off your ass and with half a million other people in concert (GOD, incredible experience); feeling depressed and screeching out the lyrics to "A Change of Seasons" in your most pained, angst-filled singing voice, and ending up with a hoarse throat but feeling immensely better; debating with your gerbils; losing when they pee on you; awesome moments in gaming, like fireballing that one fucking NPC who's been stalking the damn party when he's level 15 and you're level 7 and KILLING HIM; concerts, PERIOD; having one person solely devoted to cheering you up (have I mentioned that I love my Leo?); getting raucous cheers during karaoke; getting the GOOD kind of stunned silence after a public prose reading (FUCKING YAY); cooking experiments that you have serious doubts over but end up SO GOOD; Kahlua, coffee, whole milk, sugar and NesQuik on a terribly cold day in a terribly warm blanket; cold days and terribly warm blankets when you're not outside; new clothes that rock; finding really old clothes you thought you lost that rock; nondescript gray sweaters that are six sizes too big, double as a sleeping bag, and rock to curl up in; gothic makeup experimentation; being good at something; being bad at something with a teacher/mentor who kicks ass; earned victory; unearned victory; terrifically entertaining defeat; too many semi-colons; giant paragraphs.

Hee.

I like a few others, live to see myself and others happy. I've always been around for my friends for someone to talk to.

Beyond that, I exist to find that one person that makes me happy, and I make them happy in return. I might have already found them.

I love being a teenager - you're supposed to be discovering yourself, so I use it as an excuse to reinvent myself every few months. Each time slowly becoming a bit better of a person.

I'll stop when necessity to or desire to stop makes me.
