I was just outside watching the Leonid meteor shower. There weren’t allot of meteors this year, at least not while I was out there, but the few I saw were quite lovely. Mom and I watched the Perseids together earlier this year, and Dad and I watched a SPECTACULAR meteor storm a few years ago where you could actually hear them burning up as the fireballs streaked by overhead, smoke trailing behind them. I’ve always loved watching meteor showers, there’s something very peaceful about sitting out on a crisp night, head leaning back against the chair as you sit and chat with someone and watch the meteors streak by.

I can’t wait for this year’s shower! It’s supposed to be a very strong shower this year, and it’s only two days away! I wish the warm weather had stuck around for a few days longer so it wouldn’t be so cold out while watching, but at least the sky will be clear!

Okay, so this is going to sound a big egocentric, but turning heads has never been a problem for me. But it’s not because I was just so brilliant and dazzling that people had to turn their heads, it was usually because I was wearing something bizarre. (I spent the entirety of my teen years, right up through college, wearing Victorian and Medieval clothes.)
I keep thinking about the scene in Memoirs of a Geisha when Sayuri is learning to stop men in their tracks with a single glance. I want to be able to do that. The movie stars of the 50s always come to mind. They exuded confidence and brilliance. They were sassy and fabulous. I want that, that inescapable something that those women had.
It’s going to take allot of work. I’m not happy with my body and general state of things right now, so, of course, I’m not going exude confidence and glamour. But it’s mostly a mental game, and with a bit of work I think I can learn to love myself, and then I’ll be able to turn heads.
