Three Twenty

Once upon a time, there were two people who couldn't figure out when they "got together." They wondered and wondered. Finally, they were going to decide not to have one. But that was no fun. So they chose March 20, and it turned out to be a great decision. It was the first day of spring. The weather was perfect. The girl discovered her new favorite happy song, "Australia," by The Shins. It wasn't the best day ever, but it was a good, normal day. Around midnight or a little afterward, Wisconsin beat FSU in overtime in the NCAA tournament. I don't know if this will always be their special day, but it seems like a nice one.

Happy Anniversary. She sends her love.

A Story

Jerrod showed me this story about a burglary. If you have maybe fourty-ish minutes to spare... It is interesting.

Waiting for a Better Day

I think this is the first time I have skipped an entire month without posting on here. I feel kind of guilty for that.
I am still posting every Friday for the Power Bloggers. It is nerveracking wondering if I will run out of things to say for it.
I feel left out of things all the time now, for various reasons in various situations. It is sort of disappointing. But I think I need time to be alone. Tomorrow might be a good time for that when I am driving.
Someone's comment today got emailed to me. I wish I hadn't caused emotion in that realm to appear. I think it is hard to cheer people up by just writing in a personal blog. I always try to think of happy, cheerful things to add to blog posts in general. Much of the time, my aim is futile. Maybe it is because of the times I actually try. It doesn't work that way for me.
At times, I wish I were perfect and had everything I wanted. I guess a lot of people feel that way. Then I think, if I had everything, then wouldn't I be extremely ungrateful? That would happen pretty easily.
They say that a girl's hormones fluctuate each month. But I think it is quite ridiculous that these days, I end up tearing up at least every few days. I actually haven't been having trouble with school yet. (Now watch it hit me in the face on Monday because I said that.)
I, I, I... Again, I have to warn you that this is a personal blog, so I'm going to be saying "I" a lot.
I was just informed that I made an "abstinence innuendo." I am marginally proud of that.
I am excited about tomorrow afternoon. They say it is beautiful there.
If you are a guy, I just want you to know that I learned recently that you are not allowed to touch, hug, pat, or look at me in any way. I'm not really sure what would happen if you did. If I were a guy, I wouldn't be having any sort of problem with this with me anyway, though. I would tell you if you were allowed to communicate with me, but it wouldn't make any sense because then, I would be communicating with you, which is a bit hypocritical.
The weather is going to be really amazing tomorrow. Not just in Texas, as univision.com kindly showed me in Spanish today, but all over where I many of us live.
Thank you for reading.
