| Meta-Emotion |

I'm sure there is a better and more-accurate term to describe what I'm talking about, but I have no idea what it is so I'm just going to call it meta-emotion. And obviously because it deals with emotion and feeling I'm not even going to be able to provide anything better than a nebulous definition for the term. Meta-emotion is the feeling where you have a strong desire to experience a "real" emotion. Sometimes it's a specific one, other times it's much more general.
For instance, there is a meta-emotion where one has a strong desire to be in love, or to be loved. Note that this is different from loneliness, because it reflects more of an abstract but active desire for something, not an ache for lack of it. I of course can tell the difference because I'm defining the terms, but I can see how this explenation could be lacking in its clarity and precision.
Another example is the desire to create. Sometimes I am struck by a strong desire to build, construct, create something wonderful and epic, although any specific details as to what it should be or how I should accomplish it are entirely missing. |

While posting that last entry I noticed that LiveJournal entries now include an additional piece of metadata: the location field. I plan to utilize this going forward, and will be back-locating some specific entries. I might consider going back through all my entries at some point, but that's just speculation right now. |

Before I finally go to bed here are some more things I wanted to say:
- Meta-emotion often occurs very late at night. Whether it is caused by being awake at night or the feeling itself causes one to stay up later is up for debate.
- Becoming a princess is a relatively easy feat. One can marry into a royal family, or even consume the remains of a long-dead Egyptian Princess to absorb her regal essence.
- The last song on the album I was listening to as I wrote these entries tonight (Human After All) is entitled Emotion, which I did not remember until after the song had begun to play.
- I want to create some more userpics for myself even though I really don't have any use for more.
- I still want to create games, but the games themselves aren't what I find the most interesting, what I really, really want to do is create worlds.
- Anyone who sees me taking my vitamin pills must think I'm addicted to drugs on a massive scale.
