One day last week, I forgot my cell phone at home. Now, subconsciously, I suppose my mind is enjoying the silence. There is a certain je ne sais quoi about being unreachable, isn't there?

Because I've misplaced or forgotten it many, many times over the past several days.

It has been a long, long time since I've cashed in a sick day. However, this morning I just didn't see any other choice. I've let the stress of my mountain of homework get to me, and just needed to buy myself that nine-hour cushion to get some things done.

And so I did.

Of course, there are always the fun, unexpected things that happen. My alternator crapped out on my car, so we are back in the shop... this makes four times in five months. Bleah!

At least there is a wi-fi connection, and I was able to grab a bite to eat at my favorite coffee shop... so it's all good. And the food actually managed to settle my queasy stomach.

Something that didn't settle my queasy stomach was an IM I got before I left the house. Seriously, the last person I expected to get in touch with me did. She wants her iPod back. It's been sitting in storage, waiting for her to ask for it, so now that she has, I'll send it to her.

I don't want to play anymore games with her. I'm done with her. I'll never fully understand what happened, but my version of what happened is good enough.

How does the song go?

Never again will I kiss you. Never again will I want to. Never again will I love you. Never, never again.

Hey, it's her loss. Granted, if we hadn't fallen apart when we did, and I hadn't headed down this path of enlightenment I'm currently on, we undoubtedly would have lost it anyway.

I'm a much better person now... and I'm sure she's the same. It does seem odd that she's been thinking of me... or at least that I have something of hers.

Although, there are moments when I'd like to have that Airport card back. I have a friend who's attempting to get back online...

I guess it hasn't quite been a year since she called. Still, I don't think about her anymore... especially not anything of mine she may still have.

Now, I'm not saying she's a golddigger... ;^)

You know, everytime I listen to the new Feist CD, I like it that much more! I highly recommend picking up a copy!

Anyway, study break's over... time to get back to mapping out my history project. I have to start writing tomorrow! Bleah!

But getting it done with will totally be worth it!

What i'm listening to:

Past in Present
