Stress Talking

It's been a pretty good day. Free rolls (buggy) got cancelled but I was up anyway so I tried to get some work done. The CS assignment I'm working on is just kicking my ass. Maybe I should stay up and work on it - it's due tomorrow at midnight - but I think I'll be better off going to bed and trying again tomorrow morning.

Right now I'm just sitting here listening to lots of Elton John and staring at the flowers I bought myself on Friday. The seller on the corner had a really pretty boquet of pink mini roses, and they were cheap, so I bought them. I figure it's okay to do something nice for myself, and I'm worth it.

Elton John has always been my comfort music, and it's become that even moreso this semester. I've been listening to a lot off of his self-titled album; songs I haven't listened to much since high school when I'd play the old vinyl while I did homework, or just laying in bed not doing anything at all. It reminds me of old thoughts, old feelings, old ideas, perspectives, beliefs, values. I can't quite find the words I'm looking for right now. It's not a bad feeling, though. Just kind of introspective without really looking for anything n particular.

It's funny how much life does go in cycles. It's so easy to all of a sudden be in a position where you're on the other side of a situation that you've been in from the other side. That keeps happening to me, and it's become more frequent recently. I like it. I feel like I'm learning a lot about people, and I'm gaining a lot of perspective. :)
