A small dwelling in the wild meadows will be enough if you are there with me. ~Inspired by a Japanese Love Poem

We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it. ~John Lennon

It's not so easy anymore - we're not in school, we've got careers, bills to pay, other friends to see, family to be with, boyfriends and numerous other responsibilities.

We recognize that we've changed, but are we readily adapting, supporting and remaining true to each other as friends? Do we really even know what's going on in each other's lives?

These are questions I hope to get answered when I go away with my friends in a few weeks. We all need a vacation, and though it's been rough trying to arrange our schedules and deciding on a place to go, we've finally settled on something that works for all of us. At the very least, we'll all be together!

For this trip, I hope that we'll all be able speak frankly to each other about what's going on in our lives, good or bad. These are my closest friends, but sometimes I feel like I don't know them very well anymore, and that they don't really know me.

Of course, we're all guilty of neglecting each other, but if I can count on one thing, I can count on my friends always being there for me if I need them, even if we're not in constant communication with each other. Even so, I miss my friends, and it's frustrating when you've got great people around you that you can't see more of. This trip will give me an opportunity to reconnect, look after and nurture the friendships that are so important to me.

You have to laugh at yourself because you'd cry your eyes out if you didn't. ~Emily Saliers

And you thought Princess Consuella Bananahammock and Crap Bag were bad:

"A German court has ruled that parents do not have the right to give their child a silly name, reports The Independent on Sunday. The judgment arose when a woman wanted to call her son Chenekwahow Tecumseh Migiskau Kioma Ernesto Inti Prithibi Pathar Chajara Majim Henriko Alessandro."
