I. I hold tight to the photos - they're all I have left [for now], but they obviously don't compare.

II. It isn't right. It just isn't right.

III. Something in the eyes... No, maybe the voice? The flavor, the texture, what's it in "it". It's that bolt of lightning [lightening?] that Ira told us all about. And he was right, I'm coming back. Or I wish I was.

IV. Did you mean for this? I'm not myself anymore - I don't know if I even qualify as one person anymore.

V. Unfinished thoughts beget unfinished people.

VI. "I'm like a dog chasing a car... I wouldn't know what do do with it if I caught one!"

VII. I hate animals because I'm jealous.

VIII. But.

The Dark Knight?
Yes.

I like III. I'm not sure why, but I do.

Good comments leave me smiling (and yes, The Dark Knight, but it completely applies).

I really should explain these - I've been meaning to anyway. Honestly, they're quite mushy. *barf*

I - Her.

II - Edit: The morals of Me versus Him.

III - The moment we met (or however long it was). Edit: Also mentioned on This American Life (the Ira part).

IV - I've changed quite a lot.

V - They do... Kind of self-explanatory.

VI - I totally wouldn't. Would you?

VII - They have it much simpler... Eat, sleep, sometimes socialize, and poop. That's it.

VIII - I can't remember exactly what this was (doesn't narrow it down much) but I think it was about being open-minded to all possibilities.

Eh... Now I understand why I didn't explain them in the entry. Still, better here than there, I suppose.
