Dankeschon, dahling.

Current Mood: Reclusive.. Listening To: You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar, But I Feel Like A Millionaire by Stone Temple Pilots. That, and my family having a discussion about our economy. We're a weird sort of bunch. I was in a bad mood earlier. Thinking dark thoughts about people. But mostly, I just wanted to find a quiet place where people would leave me alone and let me be. Of course, in the middle of the mall, that's rather hard to do. So it didn't help me much. After that, we went to lunch and met my Dad there, and I was hoping that would lift my spirits a little bit. But instead, he gave us some crappy news - Fed Ex just recently bought Kinko's. This doesn't mean anything to most of you, but to us, it's a testament that Corporate America sucks ass. My dad worked for Kinkos for years, as an important part of the company, before he "retired" when they merged. And now, they turned around and screwed him over so they could make a better profit. I know that's business, and that's how it is. But it shouldn't be. It shouldn't be. So that was a bit of a downer. But eventually, by the end of the meal, I perked up a little bit. Very little, but I didn't feel quite as nasty as before. We went back to the mall and tried to find myself that winter coat that I need, and I finally found one. I love it. Also got a scarf and a cool new hat, and later at the other mall (we jumped malls after dinner), I got this delicious pair of red shoes. Score! What made that trip really nice, though, was that I saw a couple people I haven't seen in a really long time. In the parking lot, I talked to my friend Heather for a few good minutes. I haven't seen her since high school ended, basically. She went to UF, and is doing well, though isn't too sure she wants to be a pharmacist any more. Heh, I thought that was sort of funny. ^_~ I also saw Joey, who graduated a few years ahead of me, and he was really funny. Good laughs, some reminiscing, and all that. So by the time I got home, I did feel better. Although I'm still feeling rather.. well, reclusive. I'm around people, without feeling part of them. If you get that. Which is entirely good - I'd rather just sit and watch and listen. I don't feel like forcing myself to be social and articulate. In fact, I think I might find one of my new books and settle down somewhere. That sounds good. Otherwise, not much has been happening. Although my family is still arguing about economics and monopolies and more of stupid corporate business crap. I think it's time to escape. ^_~ Which Jhonen Vaquez character are you? By EmReznor.
