(no subject)
a weight has been lifted. i found myself telling my mom that i didn't want to do engineering anymore. its a little more complicated than that. surprisingly i didnt experience her wrath but i know it is coming. she just needs to sleep on it and think of nasty things to say to me. ill give her the benefit of the doubt though. maybe shell be supportive, like a mother should be.
kyle came home with me but it's a short visit. wednesday my dad and i are going to nashville and dropping kyle off in gainesville on the way. im a little nervous about seeing my grandfather in such a weak state. at least he isnt hooked up to a respirator anymore. i also have to accompany my grandmother to her neighbor's daughter's wedding. if i remember correctly this girl is 2 years younger than me. she just started college not that long ago and now shes getting married! it's a little crazy.
so i was thinking to myself about what the word temper really meant. bc the expressions "lose one's temper" and "to have a temper" seem almost opposites. i looked it up in the dictionary and it does have several meanings, and two of them are antonyms almost.
one of the many definitions:
A state of mind or emotions; disposition: an even temper
i was thinking maybe it is like the word diet. diet just means what one eats, but people also use it to mean eating healthy/non-fattening foods.
another definition:
Calmness of mind or emotions; composure: lose one's temper.
a third definition:
A tendency to become easily angry or irritable.
i think its funny one word could mean such opposite things.
kyle is pissing me off right now. he couldnt even put down the controller to say goodnight. asking him to do that is "too demanding."
im going to make mother's day dinner for my mom tomorrow. i havent decided what to make yet.
so that's about it.
oh yeah, i've said y'all twice now unconsciously. its more i thought it before i said it. saying it was conscious, but thinking to say it was not. a few days ago i typed it to amanda on IM and then last night i said it to jay and windsor when they were leaving. i blame windsor. :-) normally i say "you guys." damn south.
