Fill in the blank all you clever boys and girls - life is merely a game; sometimes desperate, sometimes fun, sometimes a slog through the mud.
What are you in search of?
Is it as simple as a starlight kiss? Complex as solving the political woes of a world soured by wealth and poverty?
What makes you tick?

How is this different from the "What do you want" thread?

I'm in search of JT Flavell's first article on metacognition. Published circa 1976.
edit: Whoops! J.H.- that might be part of my problem!

It doesn't ask who we are first?

Music, money, eventual romance... The hope of it all.

Different? The process of asking and getting answers is the tick not the want .

I do not understand what you just said.

What are you in search of?
My missing protons.
What makes you tick?
A Geiger counter.
Posted by Portabello (Member # 7710) on :
Actually, if you are missing protons, you are probably less radioactive.

Crap. And I thought about that one for a long time, too. I had to picture the unstable atom they animated on Nova last week and remember which particles were shooting off.

It's like you get homesick for a place that doesn't exist. I mean it's like this rite of passage, you know. You won't have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for you kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something.
I miss the idea of it. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people who miss the same imaginary place. - Largeman Garden State
I guess I'm at that age where I'm stuck between missing the family I once had and making a new family for myself. I'm looking to go home again.
