I Don't Actually Like the Word "Random."

- I don't actually like the word "random." I feel it has become overused in recent years. It's like some sort of mythical 'cool badge,' applied haphazardly to people too lazy or incapable of actual humor or wit. Granted, it can be funny, but it isn't magic. It should be used only sparingly, like garlic or speckled shoe laces.

- I think my vision got worse over the weekend. I've noticed that I cannot discern numbers on the television from the same seat and same distance as before the weekend. I also squint a little bit more with my computer. It kinda sucks. I guess I'm gonna have to bump eye care up on the 'to-do' list.

- I don't like being pressured about things. I'm a pretty laid-back person, and when I feel like someone is trying to pressure me into something, I tend to shut down. I also try very hard to set low expectations about engagments, like certain parties or events, because I honestly don't know if I will be able to make them. When it turns out I can't, I prefer that there was no serious expectation that I would have been there in the first place, because I hate letting people down. I hate it even more when they can't handle it like an adult once I tell them that I can't make it.

- Of related topic, there are few people on this planet that are more emotionally-capable and prepared to write someone off with no remorse and no chance of reconciliation. I don't know if it's a strength of my character or a flaw, or a little bit of both, but I can say goodbye forever and never change my mind.

- I would be a very successful person if I could turn that energy and determination to other areas in my life. If I ever figure out how, or rather, decide to, that would be great. So... yeah.
