Ok, so I'm in this deep thinking mood and I'm contemplating about what makes a person genuine. This train of thought came about while I was preparing to bitch someone out (not really out loud so (s)he would hear, but in my head - we all know I'm not that courageous anymore) for trying too hard to be "cool", "trendy" "alternative" or whatever. But really, there isn't a moment of our lives when we aren't doing something that someone else has done before. We all follow in someone's footsteps. Not the same person all the time, but we learned what we know from somewhere, so really how can I bitch at someone for "trying" too hard to be something, when we're all trying to be one thing or another. Am I making any sense? Possibly not, but I haven't had my second cup of coffee yet. Even if we aren't actually thinking "I'm going to be like this person" and set out on a mission, we are still following -whether it be deliberate or not- a path that can't be entirely genuine. Ok, I think I've confused myself, so I'd better stop now.
Onto another rambling...today is a snow day for all the local schools and I really wish adults had snow days too. I don't want to go back to primary or secondary school again (because it's actually amazing that I survived the first time), but I want snow days!! If it's too cold and yucky for school busses then my old car is gonna have a rough time making it! GVSU is closed today so I think Jacquie has a snow day. Lucky girl!! Because of a stupid law suit at UofM they aren't allowed to snow days anymore so I'd have to trek my tired ass in blizzards to get to class. Glad that's over!
Ok, so I don't know what I have accomplished with this entry, but I wanted to say hi to you and let you know that I love and miss you tons!! Have fun, behave and drive safe!!
