The meme that everyone's looking at. Link it, whatever...

Considering the CD I burned awhile ago, many of the songs on it are rather angsty. However, I'm a very happy person. So why do I listen to sad music? Is it the aesthetically pleasing hook? I'm not a big believer in that, especially when it's used like, "I don't like him, he's just so pretty." Oh, that might be the music though. I'm not saying I don't like it, I'm just saying it's angsty. I wonder if it has anything to do with the opposites attract theory. I'm happy, but I know there are other people who are sad, so I want to get a look at how the Other People live.

In my geometry class, I feel like I'm really coming into my own. I've always struggled with math, but I'm really understanding it this term. People are actually asking me for help, instead of the other way around. I don't know if I can express how good that feels. I used to be the one struggling, and now I'm the one understanding. I think it's because I finally realized that yes, there is no point to knowing how to calculate the length of line EF if F is parallel to the tangent of circles A and B. And yes, there is absolutely no point to being able to prove Tri PRS is congruent to Tri ALD. It's just the reasoning that matters, not the actual question. And even if the reasoning didn't matter, it'd still be math. Um, that didn't make sense. I mean, it's not that the question will help me at all in later life, it's that I can do the question. It might be stupid and pointless and all the other complaints I've thrown at advanced math over the years, but I can still do it. It's just another skill, another commodity. It might be completely unnecessary, but then, knowing obscure people in history and literature might be unnecessary too.

I'm doing a research project on advertising. It's absolutely FASCINATING! I might post it somewhere when I finish. And I'm going to go work on it now.

I'm listening to: Breathing, Lifehouse ~me~ at 1:58 PM
