"You can't try so hard to control it all. Life is pretty much in the grays for the most part and if you insist always on black and white, you are going to be very unhappy."

We know, but we so often forget.

Good Morning

It's currently 5:25AM right now. I took an unexpected nap some hours back, which subsequently resulted in me waking up at around 2:15AM to my dogs barking wildly. I don't think I'm going to sleep again before I start my day so I figured I'd just blog. I was just watching a scene from "Dan in Real Life" where Dan has just met the female lead of the film, and they are getting to know each other over breakfast. Seems so simple and sweet. I wish I had friends or family who lived in a small town with little cafes and book stores, just so I could visit every so often and take a break from the life here. Time just seems to fly by so quickly. I don't want to miss it and not even realize it. It's already April, for goodness sake!

I feel like I've devoted most of my past few years to other people. I'm barely starting to come into the picture, yet I don't know what I can do for myself. There is still a lot of work to be done though. I am both optomistic (of fruition) and terrified (of failure). So I just keep laughing.

Things That Irk Me, Part I.

1. When people "subtly" work in their accomplishments and victories into the conversation in a boastful manner.

2. When people put others in awkward positions, just to amuse themselves.

3. When you make eye contact with a stranger, and they just look at you without any hint of a smile, instead of just looking away. Is that even necessary? Just look away!

4. Kiosk people at the mall who will stop at nothing to get you to try their hand cream. Or hair straightener. Or butt beads.

5. Driving away while realizing that you've left your wallet at home when you went out specifically to go buy things at Michael's.

6. Wanting to do something all week, but feeling too lazy during the weekend to actually do it.

7. When thin girls say they're fat to gain compliments & reassurance. Keep it real.

8. When people use that extra room in the right lane to drive ahead and cut in front of you on the freeway in heavy traffic.

9. Being blinded by the thick fog while trying to make it home safely going 7MPH, all the while regretting your decision to go out that night.

10. When people do things to deserve criticism, yet cannot accept it nor understand its origin.

11. Weird vibes from an acquaintance. Because it's not like you can just ignore them when you see them.

12. When a show you absolutely love is on hiatus and is in danger of being cancelled.

13. Feeling uncertain if you're supposed to hug someone you'd just met.

14. Not keeping up with blogging! :\

Fog

Sometimes things happen for very simple reasons that don't need to be meticulously dissected and analyzed. So why are people proned to always search for hidden messages and meanings, instead of just accepting things on face value and move on?

Eventful Weekend

Yup. It was.
Sean and Darwin both had birthdays, 23rd and 22nd respectively.
And Kathy had her baby shower. It got me really excited for the future. I want all my friends to start getting married and popping out babies and such. I've never been to a wedding for someone I actually knew. I'd really only attended one wedding in my entire life, and it was for someone who went to the same church as me but didn't know personally. I wonder who's going to get married first!!
I guess this weekend was all about the celebration of life! And friendship. And delicious garlic mashed potatoes :)

Oh, I signed up for Twitter. I initially thought it was just another social networking site, but I realized that it's a tool for us to blurt things out that we wouldn't normally make an effort to announce because of the lack of significance, perhaps. I have a lot of moments when I want to blurt things out, so this should be great for me haha
It's pretty fun. And it's something to do at work!


Cheers.
