On another note, try if you can to read Time Magazine's article "Ambition: Why Some People Are Most Likely To Succeed." Although for the record, I never really got to finish it.

Okay, today I found out that my other somewhat ex-boyfriend has found a husband and is very happy. Long story short, he found a nice Norwegian to change his ways and make him very happy. There’s even some short blurb about them and Alanis Morissette… ANYWAY...
I feel so alone. I feel so depressed. I feel so selfish. The only thing saving me from ordering way too much from McDonalds is The Ballad of El Goodo. But c’mon, when is my turn going to come? I want someone to rub my head and make my single ex-boyfriends break down and cry.
I feel so inadequate, it hurts. But I’m not really changing because I’m really secretly hoping someone will come and rescue me. I know though that that really isn’t going to happen and that I’m kidding myself.
The hardest thing to face at these times is that I know I can make it to a tomorrow.
Oh well, Happy 2006, Mister Michael Rollercoaster. Another year, another you. You’re my special angel. I love you.
Fire in the sky, Seattle

>> The surgery that Vincent undergoes to increase his height in the movie Gattaca. It's named after the Russian doctor who invented it 40 years ago to treat dwarfism. This painful operation adds length by allowing new bone to grow in the gap left by gradually seperating ends of the broken bone. The patient's shinbones are cut in two, a brace is applied and metal pins would pull apart the bones a millimetre each day. Risks include feet permanently turned at odd angles, twisted legs, and weakened bones that break again and again.
