On the brink of Doom!

Every time I hear the word doom I think of Invader Zimm and Gir. I can hear Gir giggling in my head as I stand on the brink of doom.

My life is in an insane limbo right now. In the future I wonder if I will look back fondly on this time, or repeatedly pound my head against the wall and say "why, why, why?! you stupid, stupid, stupid girl"

One of my sweetest memories is of a valentine's day I spent alone. I stayed awake all night, wandering the empty roads and sidewalks of the campus and the city. I felt no fear. I climbed up onto the roof of the chemistry building. I sat by the turtle pond at 3 in the morning. I felt lonely and whistful and hopeful and wonderfully alive. At the end of the night, in the wee hours, I went to metro and played a game of chess with 2 bums. We all sucked at chess, but they thought I was really good at chess because they were really bad. They gave me a rock as my victory prize. Then, the night got exciting. A girl with fantastic dreds, a big colorful dress, and fierce green eyes walked into metro and started yelling at the bums. She said that she had been waiting for them for hours. The bums, being hippies tried to calm her down "sorry, man, really, i'm so sorry... we were just playing chess man" Then all 3 of them left together. I sat alone for awhile, the only person left at metro. Then rubin walked in. Then patrick walked in. I love running into friends, and at such an unlikely place and time, after such a weird night, it felt great to see familiar faces.

I went home with my rock as the sun came up. I was alone, I was tired, and I was happy. The end.
