A Beginning: I Did Not Kill Anyone Today

I did not kill anyone today. I find that's a good place to start. I did not kill the person who stole my cabinet--which had finally been perfectly arranged both functionally and aesthetically--and gave me a monstrosity of a shelving thing which cannot be accurately described because it does not exist in America. I did not kill an certain anonymous roommate, even though she has consistantly screwed all of us over this past week and is being mean to an undeserving kid--whose father has now called a parent meeting about unrelated issues for which I will now be forced to give up my lunch half-an-hour. I killed no children, not even the superwhiny ones who chose to spend ten minutes complaining about the gym activity rather than actually do it. I especially did not kill the people at ASU, even though I have still yet to see their funding offer. (In fairness, they did mail it Tuesday afternoon.)

[Breath] However, in a bout of extreme productivity, I did file our taxes for last year even though it was a colossal hassle because we didn't reside in the US for more than six months and earned income overseas. And I chatted with my friend Mary, who had just decided this very morn to backpack through Western Europe and was in line to buy airplane tickets. She might also spend some time in Croatia studying. Maybe I'll visit. I hear there are some killer beaches and prices that can't be beat. Beaches sound nice about now. Now if I could just do something about that aneurysm-inducing fear of flying....

P.S. If all of my complaining left you lacking, you can always high-tail it over to my cousin's blog, Love Comes First. I believe its very title reflects the sunshine and kittens it emits.
