Someone just wrote me an email with the question, "so has anything new, boring or wonderful fallen into your life lately?" This is the perfect question. How-are-you-good's binary opposite. I love how it recognizes that the good, the bad and the ugly that are all equally exciting in the process of living. I love that it makes reference to extremes rather than neutrality. I love how it highlights individual moments, situations, and experiences rather than general wellbeing. I love how it celebrates chance, spontaneity and serendipity by suggesting that events and things "fall" into life. I love that all these components make the question very answerable, and encourage the answer to enter into the realm of conversation.
I love that I know people who ask me questions like these.
So I extend the question to you: has anything new, boring or wonderful fallen into your life lately?

My reality kinda fell into my life recently. The path on which I want to use as a guide for my life was somewhat plotted. I'm not quite sure whether or not this is a good, bad or exciting thing yet, I'll have to get back to you on that one; I'll call it my memiors.
Unfortunately the only thing that fell into my life since yesterday is the stomach flu.. go health!
