Somehow in the past two days I've transformed into an overemotional pile of snotty toilet paper. Yesterday I was nearly crying listening to country songs that I had heard a million times before, songs I knew all the words to. Anything that could possibly be construed as emotional gets me all welled up.

It's not normal emotional things either...goodness no. It's things like my mom being nice to me and me missing her terribly despite seeing her A WEEK AND A HALF AGO. And once I start crying, I cry about everything. I cry because I school has got me stressed out and I got a C (a C, for God's sake!) But then I start thinking and I cry because I miss my dog or my family or Darren. Then I start thinking about how selfish I am for feeling sorry for myself and that makes me cry more. Then I think about the poor starving children in Bosnia that will never play a game of LIFE before they die (if they make it to heaven they get to play LIFE for sure) and that makes me feel even guiltier because I'm so fortunate and I cry even harder. All in all, it's a vicious cycle.

Alas, I must, once again, be a slave to all that is homework. And to think I don't even have any beer to get me through it.

*I should note that this state of overemotionality is not that-time-of-the-month induced. Crazy, eh?
