rambling.

after that last and very deep post, i feel it might be okay if i revert to a somewhat pointless speech for today.
this morning i got up expecting a snow day. not really.. expecting, persee, more like hoping that it would miraculously freeze just long enough for school to be called off.
instead, i woke up to rain. dragged myself out of bed and laughed at my reflection. ate my cereal so slow i could have practically drowned in it while taking a bite.
even us bloggers have our days. we just write about it so the rest of the world that has these days can relate.
my actual day started by getting hit with a floor hockey puck several times. i felt it was my job to stand there and look akward and a little stunned so the ball wouldn't be passed to me. i didn't count that this wouldn't give me complete invisibility, you know, say.. the ball going right through me. meanwhile i stood in the middle of the gym while a herd of half monkey, half buffalos charged past me countless times.
when you've had a headache for three days, it doesn't really improve your condition very much.
so i've decided to take some good points from this. there has to be a half-full glass around here somewhere.
from this bad day, i've learned:
1)there is a purpose for that little point edge on the corner of your bed frame. i believe its aptly called a "toe breaker"
2)the reason your mom says "don't do that" is usually because you aren't supposed to do that. or else you end up with soggy, cold feet from that hole in your boots that "isn't that big"
3)you should never bet agaisnt yourself and a large patch of ice. you are no match for it. the ice will forever win.
4)while frustrated, you should pay attention to your surroundings (preferrably an open space) before making those common, angry hand and arm gestures, because unless you have a pillow on each hand you are bound to end up bruised.
*5)the best one of all: attitude doesn't matter. you can't take a deep breath and convince yourself you're in a better mood. you actually have to say "it could be so much worse" and believe it, or it will get much worse.

I hope you take just as much from your bad days. my result is a few bruises, a headache, cold & soggy feet, a sore tailbone, but I also have a glass that is half full.
The day isn't over yet.

love,
