So my mom has Yellow Irises in the backyard. Purple Irises in the front yard.
We visited an Iris farm where they had all sorts of crazy hybrids. And I'm like, wait. Mom. You have two different coloredchocobos Irises all this time and you've never tried crossing them to see what you get!
The curiosity is killing me.

Sounds awesome.
I always thought music sorta wrote itself. Meaning, someone just played around until something came together. The actual "intent" comes later in the process once you have something to work with that you can appropriate. You see a lot of that in art classes. "I meant to do that" Bullshit, I was there when you made it.
or like authors who said something was done intentionally, but later reveal they use a discover-writing process. There's nothing intentional about that, man.

That's true, but I guess in order for them to write themselves, something needs to cause the initial spark (at least from personal experience, anyway). It actually feels like the same kind of rush as when you're on a roll when programming - It keeps coming and as soon as you stop it's over.
But I totally get what you mean. If you happen to trip over that spark by accident, you can pull some crazy bullshit.
EDIT: I'm actually nearly done with this. Not bad for two days (on and off) of work.

A male Shroomish with Quick Feet and Quirky. I was hunting for a new one to replace my team's old Breloom as I was deciding I needed a Adamant and Technician ability Breloom that had False Swipe, Seed Bomb, Sky Uppercut, and Spore, and got...this with the second Shroomish I encountered via pokeradar.

The world's oldest person died earlier today at 117 and I find that incredible.
Misao Okawa was born closer to George Washington's presidency than the present day. She was forty-three when Pearl Harbor was attacked. When she was ten years old, the Ottoman Empire still existed.
On one hand, the notion of living that long fascinates me, as I would witness so much in the world -- see potentially massive points in human history unfold. On the other hand, it also sounds incredibly sad. At that age, I would see parents, friends, family, and pretty much everyone else I knew at this point go on before me. I would probably see my own children die as well. I think at a certain point, I would welcome a peaceful end to my life.

My grandpa had a huge family. Like 11 siblings total. But I think only 4 or 5 made it to old age. One died at 5 I know, so I think they're pretty accustomed to loss. The obituary is always a discussion topic when I see them with my parents.
Besides pets, I haven't lost any close family or friends yet. *knock on wood*. I should count myself lucky. When we graduated Highschool one of our teachers thought to "prepare us" by telling us statistically we should expect one of us to die before our 10 year class reunion. I've had this lingering sense of Doom ever since, that bastard. Only a year to go. I think the worst that's happened to my classmates so far is a bunch of miscarriages, which - I dunno I didn't think it would be that common.

That's kind of a scummy thing to say to new graduates, even with good intentions. It's pretty remarkable, though, that none of your classmates have died. Sort of morbid to say, but looking at it from my perspective it seems so. I graduated just under two years ago and I've lost two classmates -- both to car accidents. Several others have been in accidents and one guy got into some shady business and was beat within an inch of his life with a pipe.
You probably don't need me to tell you, but don't stress too much. I'm plenty familiar with that feeling of doom, and all I can say is accept it. Things can go wrong, and a lot of times they will go wrong, but it's better to deal with negative feelings as they come than to let them burden you before anything even happens.

The only person close to me to die is my grandfather.
To be honest, I don't remember crying or feeling all that sad. I didn't actually know him, despite his appearances every Tuesday. He couldn't talk very well.
More people in Star's family has died, but no one close. I'm not sure how I'll feel. o.o
I just know people die and that's it.
