I would like to quickly draw your attention to el sidebar over there, —–>
at the bottom of which you will find a new thing, that thing being a list of things that I have decided make life worth living. This list will be updated regularly as I think of more things that make life worth living.
I had thought about including a “Things that make me want to jump off a bridge” companion list, but then realized that that would entirely defeat my purpose, my purpose being to put myself in a good mood. And, besides, I find that the things that make me want to live tend to remain pretty constant, whereas things that make me want to jump off of bridges tend to be more contextually dependent. For instance, something that currently makes me want to jump off of a bridge is the thought of how, tomorrow night, my grandmother will probably ask me how my love life is going. Regardless of how it is actually going at any given time (and, no, I will not breathe a word here), this is a question that I dread, largely because it’s really nobody’s business (thus no breathing of words). This year I think I am just going to respond with “Look, do you not realize that that is a completely inappropriate question?” which I am hoping will nip all further inquiries in the bud. But, anyhow, that kind of reason to want to jump off of a bridge is kind of seasonally dependent, ie., it tends to hit me, you know, around the holidays, mostly.
But, anyhow. Other things that make me want to die include driving to Sudbury, birthplace of renowned Man in Black, Alex Trebek, in the winter, which, coincidentally, is what I will be doing all day tomorrow, so I guess I should probably go to bed.
Love,
Alexandra
