Good morning.
I'm doing fine, too.

Sorry, I was just a little antsy, last night.
Why? Because it's the end. Of something. I just know it.
Gas is almost 3 dollars a gallon, school starts in under 3 weeks.
These are doomsday signs.

And when December comes, I graduate college and have to start my grown-up life.
Which probably involves staying here in my dad's living room until he kicks me out, then getting married so I have a place to live.
Perhaps I'll write a book, but more likely I'll just get pregnant and force my kids to write, to the point where they can barely type an e-mail, they're so traumatized.
This is the way of the suburbs.
Perhaps I'll find some sort of "good job", which means a living wage and not wanting to kill my co-workers every day. But more likely, I'll keep up my pattern of getting fired after 2 weeks for "not fitting in".
It's true. I've been fired with those 3 words many times. People don't like to work with me because I don't enjoy TV and burgers and Cubs games and office gossip.

But enough of this whining.
Life sucks for everyone, just in different ways.
And I don't mind when things are bad, so long as they're interesting.

What I want to do is buy a farm, or at least a large patch of land somewhere pretty and secluded.
Get a few friends to move there with me.
Start an alternate society.
Yeah, call me a redneck hippy.
But when the oil runs out and you fuckers are stranded and starving in the city, I'll be sitting down to a breakfast of fresh eggs and just-picked apples.
Mmm..
