Today was a perfectly good day. Don't worry I still felt like shit by 11 pm. The scary bit is that I don't know why. Midterms stress may have had something to do with it. TV shows also make me unhappy for unknown reasons on occasion (it's always my favorite shows, incidentally). But this was very short period of very intense depression. Luckily Chloe got home and annoyed me for 10 minutes. I was being ridiculous and didn't want to talk and I think I started crying for about 30 seconds about the probablity of me not getting into law school. But she was being so funny and trying so earnestly to actually converse with my sordid self that she literally and spectacularly pulled me from the edge of a metaphorical suicide bridge in my head and back to normal emotions. And then Samantha, Chloe and I had a fabulous time reading the sex edition of the Daily. And now I am perfectly happy for all intensive purposes.
BUT, I have an issue with myself. I don't understand how at different points during the day I can feel so opposite forms of awkwardness. I'm not talking about mood changes at all, but about being with other people. Like today as I happened upon different friends of mine I went from feeling awkwardly shy and quiet to little-girlish to flirty to overbearing to bitchy. It puzzles me, especially the dichotomy between the awkward shy quietness and the overbearingness. How can I be both to the point of uncomfortability?
I'm psyched about the debate topics that got chosen for the quarterly debate. Death penalty and gay marriage didn't make it on. For gay marriage it was mainly because the CR president knew that they would be verbally slaughtered and that even the painfully unbiased-to-the-point-of-innane reporting in the Daily would point out the CR's complete and utter embarassment. This happened before when gay marriage was debated. Ahh, I can giggle just thinking about it. You know, I actually feel bad at the extent of their humiliation that quarter. Ah well, perhaps they will have forgotten about their gay marriage defeat by next quarter and then we can have a lot of fun doing it all over again. Anyway, the final resolutions were still pretty fortunate...global warming is created by humans, and the Iraq War made America safer. It will be rivetting I am sure.
Side note: My comments on the Daily are in no way directed at certain reporters, especially those who I know and love...but who I'm sure know better than anyone that the Daily doesn't ever take a stand on the CR's no matter what kind of politically incorrect shenanigans they pull.
My favorite comment of the day (I didn't even hear it, but it was relayed to me): "The only way these shirts would be more "Phoebe" is if they came with an off-the-shoulder neckline and an automatic side ponytail." Thank you, thankyou very much.
"After going to war against the U.N.'s expressed wishes, the U.S. is now admitting it needs the U.N.'s help. It's the geopolitical equivalent of the 2 a.m. phone call every parent dreads: 'Mom, I'm not saying I wrecked the car, but I need a ride home.'"
