*karmas also* I think witches can never be DISproved. They're kind of a myth but people kind of want to believe in that stuff. Especially after HP so...they totally exist if you ask me

True true. Nothing can be "proven" in science, just highly supported, so anything is possible...hehe
I wonder where the phrase "when pigs fly" came from......*hmmmmmmm*

This is what I found on Wikipedia about when pigs fly:
The idiom is apparently derived from a centuries-old Scottish proverb, though some other references to pigs flying or pigs with wings are more famous. Here is one such reference from Lewis Carroll:
"Thinking again?" the Duchess asked, with another dig of her sharp little chin. "I've a right to think," said Alice sharply, for she was beginning to feel a little worried. "Just about as much right," said the Duchess, "as pigs have to fly...." — Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, chapter 9.
Possibly the first occurrence of a pig actually flying occurred in 1909 when the British aviation pioneer Lord Brabazon made the first live air cargo flight with a pig in a basket tied to a wing-strut of his airplane.

Yea...that is a good thing to wonder...
probably not...because there is always something that can make up happier (or that we think will)...but I guess we can be sorta happy... XD

I know I've been happy and I'm pretty sure other people have (at least certain people I know), that's why they try to make it happen again lol. I feel like I'm always on the edge of happiness but my high expectations, neurosis and fear of that happiness expiring is mainly what stops me, ironically.
Anyway, those are my thoughts lol.
I wonder why we dream when we sleep and what our minds are trying to achieve exactly, by dreaming.

I guess our minds are supposed to be resting but then....why do we dream about our crushes or have nightmares?? that's not very relaxing.
also regarding dreams...why do I go to the same places over and over in my dreams? There are some places that I've never been in real life (that don't exist in real life) that I'll keep revisiting in dreams.

Reccurance of dreams signals a bit of unfinished bizness to me. Like, I'm always having these end-of-the-world dreams because I haven't resolved by "omgz the world's gonna end because global warming/earthquakes/etc" issues.

but they're places i've never been and it just confuses me. i'm just walking through weird places that i've only been in my dreams. your dreams sound more interesting than mine...usually i'm just walking through weird places with other people who are there but...not very responsive to me....like i'm a ghost or something....

I wonder if anybody is really happy. *is too philosophical*This answer is very cliché but I think we are happy but the times we are we never notice it. And we don't don't notice it cause our happiness is blocking it, we just don't notice.
