Good "driving to work this morning" story: There is a cop who hangs out behind a road sign on my drive in. He's not there everyday- and actually hasn't been there for the last couple of weeks. Anyway- today, I'm almost to the place where he waits, and I'm doing about 70 mph (15 over the speed limit). This guy comes out of nowhere and flies by me (doing at least 90)...ZOOM! I begin my slowdown as I start to pass where the cop normally sits, thinking to myself that guy is gonna get pulled over if the cop is there today. Suddenly, the cop darts out of his hiding spot and goes after the guy!! It takes him awhile to catch up, but eventually I end up passing the cop as he's pulled over the speeder! Woo hoo!! It was very exciting! I know I shouldn't enjoy the misery of others, but it really was exhilarating to predict his speeding ticket! Ok- now I can sit back and wait for my karma to kick in. It was worth it...

Whew! What a weekend! There were, at one time, seven of us. It was loads of fun, as exhausting as it was. I bowled my best game ever- a 188! Josh and John both had personal bests as well (all in the same game no less!)- 180 and 111 respectively! Did Malibu shots with the bartender on Saturday night. Got a huge stuffed Stegosaurus from Joe (thanks!). And... "Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me...!" I feel very old now...

I think that it is high time that I dyed my hair blonde to match my stunning intellect! I managed to almost blow up my car today- luckily it was just my jumper cables that melted into oblivion. One, two, three (let's say it together boys and girls)... DUH!

Why oh why am I stuck inside an office with no windows when it is finally warm outside? *long drawn out sigh*

Well...check one of those off! I just got back from a preview of Bridget Jones's Diary! It was fabulous... although I must admit that the book was better- but only because it went into more detail. All in all, very good movie. Even Dave laughed (though he'll deny it if asked!)!

... when it rains it pours, I guess. On my "to-do or to-see" list are the following shows/movies: The Producers, Bridget Jones's Diary, Mists of Avalon, and (coming in 2002) Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.

I'm about to either scream very loudly, or lose my mind... I'll let you know which when it happens...

But, then again, we could argue this to the point of existentialism... what is the point of doing anything? Maybe we need to realize that when we try to help others, we are doing it because we view our friends as extentions of ourselves; and in helping them, we are in fact helping ourselves. I suppose it is that feeling of helplessness, when we have reached the limit of beneficial advice, that it all seems pointless. And let us not forget that advice is rarely taken, so we again feel the meaninglessness of it all... we have put the effort into coming up with a solution or with words of encouragement- which are then promptly ignored. It is all enough to make one want to give up... but we can't. Even after I resolved to stop 'do-gooding', I was immediately offering encouragement to those in need. It is second-nature to most people...and to myself in particular. I don't want to stop. However, I can't continue to give, without getting in return. That is how I got to this point in the first place. I was completely empty- and had nothing more to offer. I can no longer do this. I need to start to recognize the point at which I begin to feel useless, and take measures to stop the tailspin, before it gets completely out of control. But, enough about me and my weak points...

Well, I thought 'Zona had a chance in the first half, but alas, they forgot how to play basketball when they came back from halftime. I must remark that it seemed as if the refs had money riding on a Duke win. And what is with this rioting in Tucson? Maryland rioted too, after they lost to Duke on Saturday. Ridiculous! Get over yourselves, people. It's only a game. Bah! Who is going to remember this next week... with the tiny little attention spans we Americans have... I've already forgotten who played last night. *smirk*

Yes, Chris, but what if you pissed off yourself? Wouldn't you want to give up your 'do-gooder' position then? What if, after sending out some advice, you realized that you give out lame advice? What if you realized that you can't presume to help others when you can't even help yourself? It's an awfully big responsibility one takes on when one assumes the role of 'do-gooder'... and it's a responsibility that I don't think I can deal with anymore. I no longer have enough faith in my abilities to help others. Why is it that I think that I am superior enough to dole out advice on topics about which I know nothing? Until I can answer that question to my satisfaction I can't, in good conscience, continue to try to 'help' people. I have always thought of myself as a good person, who will go out of her way to help others... maybe that isn't the person I should be- at least, not right now. Or, maybe I'm just having a bad week- maybe my cold is affecting my brain- maybe I'll change my mind tomorrow...
