nice little random tidbits

it's been a while since my last posting, i know.
perhaps i've been feeling uninspired lately... i don't know. but i thought it was time to sit back down in front of the computer and vent about random nothings once again.

the first thing...
lately, i've been trying to deal with the notion of being "cordial." it used to be that people around me, if not outright nice, were at least being cordial to each other. that doesn't seem to be the case any more. it's not even a local (in the geographical sense) issue either. i'm noticing this phenomenon everywhere! is it something in the air? are people just really wrapped up in their own lives that they are unwilling to even be... civil? is a "hello" really going to kill you? i don't know...

secondly,
what's the deal with the knee-jerk reactions lately?
i get the "every action has a reaction" principle, but is it really necessary to find the most opposite severe reaction???
what happened to moderation? to reason?

thirdly,
what do you do when you're so severely bored with yourself, you're ready to scream until your head blows up?
pick up a new hobby?
it's a serious problem.
i never thought it could happen -- being bored... with MYSELF.

also,
i've picked up playing the piano once again. well... at least when i'm around the piano.
i'm a little saddened by the fact that i'm having to relearn pieces i've mastered when was 14.
and they're really really difficult to relearn. my muscles have forgotten how to stretch effectively.
it's completely utterly absolutely positively frustrating.

lastly,
i'm attending my boy's seminar. i have no idea what he does for a living, so i thought this would be a good opportunity to learn. granted, i'll have NO idea what he's talking about even with the seminar. what the hell do i know about viruses anyway? but i think the effort is warranted. maybe when people ask me, "what does he do?" i can answer back intelligently, rather than the staple, "oh... he's a scientist. he works with genes and viruses... or something or other. i don't know."

okay... not lastly.
one more thing.
i've been on this weird wedding kick. maybe it's because EVERYONE and their second and third cousins are getting married (or at least getting engaged lately). i know that i'm basically engaged... just without the formal proposal and the formal ring. so i should be happy, right?
it's not that i'm unhappy. i am happy.
i'm extremely happy.
i guess i'm just jealous.

and i can't control jealousy.

i have no self control.

eeeeeeeeeeeeek.

okay... i'm going to stop writing before i dig a bigger hole.

umm... so ONE more tidbit.
i've discovered that i need to just cut some people out of my life altogether because they constantly bring me headaches and frustrations.
i'll work on that.

okay. i'm really done now.
until next time...
go go gadget close-the-blog-window!
