Opening quotes
If you abuse power, it will always backfire on you. Last thing I remember, I was

Running for the door

I had to find the passage back

To the place I was before

’relax,’ said the night man,

We are programmed to receive.

I THINK that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in Summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.

Life finds a way... somehow... no matter how damaged a tree or how inbred a cat may be, life finds a way... I find it hard to conceive... God has his ways. I don't think we will ever fully understand. Life is terribly amazing... in a good way!

Being woken up by blue jays is the best way to wake up.

You know what would be cool? Just to be able to fly. Be a peregrine falcon, to be exact. I'd fly as high as possible and just stall, falling to the ground. When I get too close to the ground, I would open up my wings and start all over again.

There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.

There is one living spirit, prevalent over this world ... which assumes a multitude of forms according to subordinate laws. There is one thinking sensible principle allied to one kind of organic matter.

Hello, the name's Michelle. Some of my favourite birds are... I don't have one! But if I had to pick, it's probably the Hoopoe.

RIP Dexie, Shadow and Peacock. I hope you three are having fun up in heaven. I will miss you for the rest of my life. You were my children.

Random facts about me

 * I love to write.
 * I don't care if you insult me. Nemo me impune lacessit!
 * I have loved birds since I was eleven.
 * Did you hear about the time -- oh look, a great egret! I tend to get distracted. A lot. Or side-tracked for that matter.
 * My latest bird book is probably Hawks at a Distance.

Before you get to know me, here are some things:
 * I'm easily offended.

 * I startle and scare easily. I HATE being snuck up on.
 * I tend to cry a lot.
 * I'm VERY sensitive (see quote below).

Why I love birds
I just do. But if I had to say "why", well... they're colourful, beautiful, majestic, clean (unlike dogs), amazing, God's little canvasses, adorable, cute, intriguing, powerful, attractive, (I bet you're getting tired!), majestic, unique, striking, etc.

From Family Guy
Quagmire: Okay, I'll tell you. You are the worst person I know. You constantly hit on your best friend's wife. The man pays for your food and rescued you from certain death, and this is how you repay him? And to add insult to injury, you defecate all over his yard. And you're such a sponge. You pay for nothing. You always say, "Oh, I'll get you later" but "later" never comes. And what really bothers me is you pretend you're this deep guy who loves women for their souls when all you do is date bimbos. Yeah, I date women for their bodies but at least I'm honest about it. I don't buy them a copy of Catcher in the Rye and then lecture them with some seventh grade interpretation of how Holden Caulfield is some profound, intellectual. He wasn't! He was a spoiled brat! And that's why you like him so much—he's you! God, you're pretentious! And you delude yourself by thinking you're some great writer, even though you're terrible! You know, I should have known Cheryl Tiegs didn't write me that note. She would have known there's no "a" in the word "definite." And I think what I hate most about you is your textbook liberal agenda, how we should "legalize pot, man," how big business is crushing the underclass, how homelessness is the biggest tragedy in America. Well, what have you done to help? I work down at the soup kitchen, Brian. Never seen you down there! You wanna help? Grab a ladle! And by the way, driving a Prius doesn't make you Jesus Christ! Oh, wait! You don't believe in Jesus Christ or any religion for that matter, because "religion is for idiots!" Well, who the hell are you to talk down to anyone? You failed college twice, which isn't nearly as bad as your failure as a father! How's that son of yours you never see? But you know what? I could forgive all of that, all of it, if you weren't such a bore! That's the worst of it, Brian. You're just a big, sad, alcoholic bore. (sighs) Well, see ya, Brian! Thanks for the [bleeping]ing steak! Best monologue ever!

Quagmire: (As Bill Clinton) My fellow Americans, I have not been entirely truthful with you. I did gigoogity that girl. I geschmoigiddied her geflavaty with my googus, and I am sorry.


 * Chris: Dad, can you help me with my French homework?
 * Peter: Yeah, sure, why not? What's the word for fish?
 * Chris: Poisson.
 * Peter: Good. Dog?
 * Chris: Chien.
 * Peter: Seal?
 * Chris: Phoque.
 * Lois: Chris, watch your language!
 * Chris: No, that's how you say "seal" in French, "phoque".
 * Peter: He's right, Lois, look. [shows picture of seal and French term below] And here, I'll help you remember. What's this?
 * Chris: A lazy phoque.
 * Peter: Good. [turns page]
 * Chris: Dumb phoque.
 * Peter: Good. [turns page]
 * Chris: Sick phoque.
 * Peter: Good. [turns page]
 * Chris: Sick, twisted phoque.
 * Peter: Good. [turns page]
 * Chris: Cluster phoque. [Peter turns page, grabs, rips part of newspaper and sticks on book showing a celebrity] Ugly phoque and bitch.
 * Peter: Good job, Chris, I think you're ready. And remember, you can use that word as much as you want, even home in front of your parents because it's French, and French is classy.

Exploring the internet
"People are fragile. Some are more than fragile. Sometimes the littlest things, the most harmless words can break them, and they will never tell you. You will never know until it's too late. Like a glass pitcher, the tiniest little crack can buckle under the pressure and break, sending the contents everywhere. Even they think, at first, that the crack is just a surface crack and only cosmetic. You would think such a tiny crack should be able to hold, but it's the pressure behind it that does the real damage. Some people are just like that. It's none of your business why, and criticizing how fragile they are makes them more fragile. They don't want to be that sensitive, they don't want all those cracks in the glass that makes them up. Who would want that? The best you can do is love them. What fragile people need are people they know can support them. A filler for those cracks. Family, friends, whatever. People who make them feel like they're loved and accepted. People who make them happy. That strengthens them. Encourage the things that make them lively and happy. Let them do what they love. The most fragile person you know could very well be the person you see as the strongest." From here. It basically describes me.
