i'm going to get the dog in a little bit. i'm even more happy about this than i might be normally - relieved, even. i woke up just feeling really ... bad. there are days when i just feel very lonely, when i wish carolyn was still around, just to know someone was there. if i were at work or really busy with something or had to go somewhere, it wouldn't be as bad, but i'm at home (i called in sick to work this morning, actually, which was terrible but i told myself i deserved that little bit of vacation) and i'm feeling very melon-collie (don't know why i felt like writing that). i'll probably sit down and try to do some writing, even tho' i don't feel any particular inspiration for any of my pieces-in-progress, just because i'm in a really appropriate sort of mood for it.
on a totally unrelated note, and ruining the mood of what i was trying to say, i can't tell you how *IRRITATED* i am, altho' i should never be surprised that it comes up, when some cracked-out brat who happens to be a goth kid does something psychotic (like murder a woman and carve some sort of upside-down crucifix in her back, if you don't know what i'm referring to) and the entire media frenzy is based on 'these goth kids' and what their habits and behaviours are, as if anyone in black eyeliner belongs to a particular species. perhaps you can find us in a nature encyclopedia? it sure as hell sounds like it. however i know for a fact that i did not murder anyone, shoot up my school, or sacrifice kittens as a teenager, nor do i plan to do it at any point in my future. so i sort of resent being lumped in to a stereotype of that sort. mostly tho', i'm just annoyed at how narrow-minded the media is.
