shut up shut up

Basically today I don't want to be around anyone. I am not sure why. I must be tired. I am utterly annoyed for what seems like no reason. And I am procrastinating making dinner because I might run into someone in the kitchen or living room. This is lame. But I guess I'm just having one of those days. I need to get over it and move on. But sometimes that's hard. Especially since I can't pinpoint why I'm in such a bad mood! Anyways. My friend Shelly made a post about "anecdotes" and to be honest I had to wiki what the meaning of that word was. I thought I knew what it meant, but I was wrong! Well kind of, it meant something a little different then what I thought it meant. Here is the wiki definition of it

An anecdote is a short, free-standing[1] tale narrating an interesting or amusing biographical incident. It may be as brief as the setting and provocation of a bon mot. An anecdote is always presented as based on a real incident[2] involving actual persons, whether famous or not, usually in an identifiable place. However, over time, modification in reuse may convert a particular anecdote to a fictional piece, one that is retold but is "too good to be true". Sometimes humorous, anecdotes are not jokes, because their primary purpose is not simply to evoke laughter, but to reveal a truth more general than the brief tale itself, or to delineate a character trait in such a light that it strikes in a flash of insight to its very essence. Novalis observed "Eine Anekdote ist eines historishes Element — eines historisches Molecule oder Epigramm".[3] A brief monologue beginning "A man pops in a bar..." will be a joke. A brief monologue beginning "Once J. Edgar Hoover popped in a bar..." will be an anecdote. An anecdote thus is closer to the tradition of the parable than the patently invented fable with its animal characters and generic human figures— but it is distinct from the parable in the historical specificity which it claims. An anecdote is not a biography nor does it bear a moral, a necessity in both parable and fable, merely an illustrative incident that is in some way an epitome.

Interesting! So now you can know for sure what it means as well :) Tonight I am trying to decide if I want to make vegetable lasagna or stir fry... still haven't decided. I was settled on making stir fry because it's easier, but I am more in the mood for lasagna. So I think I'll suck it up and make the lasagna. Otherwise I'll be unhappy with dinner. And since I have control over it, I guess I should make what I want! Ok, its decided! Going to class today to pick up my test really solidified my decision to drop that class. I really don't like that teacher. She is so rude and so full of herself. Plus she's really strict and mean. So I felt relieved when the class was over. Oh yeah, I had to attend the whole class in order to get my test back, even though she gave them out on Mon, and she had mine right there in front of her on her desk! She said I had to sit through class, I wasn't allowed to leave and come back at the end of class either, and get it from her afterwards. How annoying! But its all said and done now. Whew! Ok... well I think I'll go make dinner, not cook it in the oven though, just prepare it. And have a snack. I need to kick this mean mood I'm in!
