I am having difficulty placing certain memories within a year....like, when did I get my car? Was it 2000 or 2001? The first time I went to New Hope, it was spring, but which spring? 2002 or 2003? I think my brain is just slowly disintegrating, which you know, is a bummer, especially since I want to go back to school this year. The no-brain having will put a big dent in my GPA. I'm pretty sure I got my car in 2001...yeah, yeah. Pretty sure.
Getting off the brain malfunction track, it's Friday. I woke up to watch on the news the terrorist attack that happened in Spain yesterday. It was also all over the front page of the NYT this morning...starting the day off with carnage can't result in any kind of light mood. I put the paper down on the reference table this morning and took a good look at the pictures. I stopped to wonder, for the terrorists who are responsible, whether they just enjoy hurting people or if they are really large jealous children, angry at what everyone else but them seems to have. What did Spain do? I can kinda understand them being pissed at us, but Spain? These people were just trying to get to work, just do a day in their lives so they could go home to their families at the end of it. And now about 200 of them won't get to do that. What right does anyone have to deprive people of that basic joy? To just go home at the end of the day. It makes me angry and sad. I don't really know all the much about the political hoohah that goes into it. The terrorists are trying to make a statement? They want change in their countries so they attack a bunch of others?? It doesn't make sense to me, but it's quite possible that I am just a simple girl. My brain is, after all, disintegrating.
I am supposedly going out tomorrow night...Michael. He's alright, but on the phone last night I realized we are quite similar. We are both pretty pessimistic, especially about dating. I dunno how well that's gonna work, 'cuz I am pretty damn pessimistic. Dragging each other down probably won't make the date a great experience. I will try for a light tone tomorrow....and will wear something that will distract him from being too broody. *nods*
I had a hard time with my hair *again* this morning. It is my opinion that the clips and snaps, and hair accessories made to make our lives easier should not give me a migraine. I put my hair up this morning in one of my clips and by the time I got here to work I wanted to cry. Stupid hair....I am convinced it is my hair's fault. Because it is evil and there's simply too much of it at this point. If I loose some of the length it will probably be easier to deal with again. Something to consider.
Have a great weekend everybody!
