What amazes you?

That I am still walking the streets.

...that really, really, STUPID people keep having children, while I, who graduated with a B+ average, and was (especially during the 8th grade) often the only one in my classes who knew how to spell, ANYTHING, can't even get a cheap hand-job!!!!!!!!! >

How far people's hatred can go and how far their compassion as well.

Plus Madonna.

That I found someone who was willing to put up with my crap full-time

And yet, I am not as amazed by that as you seem to be...

Lots of things really. It depends on the day. Sometimes I walk around in complete amazment and people and the lives they live - good or bad. Sometimes I operate on auto-pilot and everything I see, hear and read is met with cold disdain. So I guess I amaze myself that someone so essentially privelaged can be so screwed up and not 'get life' and what appears to be basic social and personality attributes.

This weekend I have been amazed (sadly) that two ten year old girls who have been missing for two weeks have been found in shallow graves and two of their school workers (classroom assistant and caretaker) have been held over for questioning. I'm amazed that they only just appeared on TV joining in the appeal for their return. I'm amazed that the spot they were found also was the spot where about 5 or so other children have been found sexually abused and murdered or attacked, abducted or whatever. I'm amazed and stunned and shocked - but most of all I am saddened by lots of things more than I am amazed by things.

Kids these days *shakes head*

My daughter's dance group buddy's sister was murdered last month (Where do I find a crying emoticon?) Lexie (my daughter) and Kayla (in her dance group) were selling fund raiser candy over the weekend and a mom came up looking for her little boy. Kayla's mom started talking about how moms are worried about their kids lately. I wanted to give her a hug.

everything

The place where they found those girls is close to where I grew up. We used to play out there in the fields when I was a kid. The town they were abducted from (Soham) is just down the road from where I lived until a couple of months ago, and I've still got friends there. It's really weird seeing places that I know well on TV, especially in those circumstances. In fact, all the locations of events there relating to the kidnapped girls are places that I know well.

The place where they found the girls isn't quite as bad a murder spot as you make it sound. There was a small girl murdered and dumped not far away from there, many years ago, and a boy was killed and dumped a few miles away in the other direction. But those are the only other incidents in the area - it's not like it's the child-killers' favourite dumping ground!

the moon, i can always look at the moon for a really long time and think...

I amaze myself most of the time.

A lot of things amaze me....

thanks for the details moonstone...haha

Not much

i am amazed by the sun rising each morning and how the birds return to my yard each day...... that i have lived this long and am a happy person and i am amazed that people can continue to be mean to each other in spite of the wonderful world around them!

I suppose the thing that amazes me most consistently, is how gullible the masses are.

Everything-- I'm easily amused...but with a short attention span.

Mallory

Krishna amazes me.

The vast number of deadbeat parents in the U.S. that have not been made to pay their back child support.

That I haven't killed my roommate yet!

That doesn't so much amaze me as it saddens me. My son's father is a deadbeat parent.

Whatever, I couldn't think of anything "amazing" to say at the moment...SORRY!!!

Let's start with rainbows and lightening.

*looking into the pot of lightning and rainbows, stirring a stream of aurora borealis into the mix and listening to it crackle.*

Glad to know I have company. Did you like those lavendar neuron storms. I forgot you used to kick in when I was working with miykal in australia.

Millions of things. This is WAY too broad a question. I guess the thing that amazes me more than anything is God.

Then you understand where I'm coming from.

Yep!

Its truly a sad world sometimes.

people waste so much time on the computer like i'm doing right now!

Lavendar neuron storms? What are those?

On a happy note, our group raised the most money, and Kayla's mom got a $100.00 donation. Yay!

Life

Lightening crackling like a celestial umbrella web of thought firing brain cells.

sounds painful. just kidding

that people are religious

Something that amazes me is how stupid people can be...not that im one to talk

Lots of things amaze me. Unexplainable things.

the endless uses for ether

That this cordless mouse is so damned annoying!!!!!!! I HATE it!!!!!! It has buttons on the side which send it to the next or previous page and it's so easy to hit them and I just did while I was halfway through replying to someone. AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

I'm amazed by basically everything. Perhaps the thing that most frequently amazes me is how little it takes to make a person happy. A kind word, a sunset, a few chords of music. How is it that so many of us are so unhappy when we're so easy to please?
