Sep. 24th, 2001 07:03 amI woke up to a pleasant surprise this morning. I can barely talk and my lungs are pretty congested. I guess it makes sense considering I don't sleep as much as I should and I'm stressed out a lot of the time lately. I over-worked my poor old immune system.
Well, here's to a super-fun day of excitement. I gotta go make my lunch now. But first..
Word of the Day
Today's word of the day is sycophant. Why? Read other people's journals today and try and point out a trend. Yeah, a sick kitten could tear down that sentiment. I think I'm officially pissed off with reading people's drivel about what great friends they are. Or better yet, people pointing out to everyone who they called last night. Wow, I call people too, people I really care about and love. But I don't point it out as if it were some sort of status symbol. "Oh look at all the important people I talk to! That means I'm important now too!" I really can't think of any other reason to point out in a public journal who you talk to on the phone.

"<lj user="popular_person_id_like_to_fuck"> allowed me to call them and therefore acknowledged my existence today. I bet they don't talk to you!"As a student of high school I'd like to point out that this behavior isn't at a high school level. Oh no, it's far far below. This is like "will-you-be-my-valentine-and-not-his" bullshit from elementary school. Are we all really that repressed?
