Somehow I woke up in 3 hours earlier than I was planning to. Now, I have to figure out what I am doing for the rest of the day. Its Friday night, so I am going out to brush off all that happened yesterday. Yesterday a friend told me that the girl I went on a date with last week is a gold digger, but I somehow knew that there was something wrong even without the confirmation. Then I went to the Broadway show Billy Elliot with a friend. The show was great, but made me feel really depressed as it was discussing the demise of a miners town in the UK. Not that I am coming from such a town or from the UK, but they are all people struggling with the prospect of high unemployment, which is a situation I have always feared and now with the whole world financial crisis going about, seems more and more likely. Then for some reason, I was thinking about my ex-girlfriend almost the entire show. Even though I broke up with her about 6 months ago, I still have very mixed feelings about her and as the days go by, I tend to forget the bad and live with a shining image of her in my mind. I know I do that, so as a complete jackass I had decided not to stay friends with her. I wish there was a way of instantly forgetting certain people. Just a switch that deletes all traces of them. Otherwise they start to linger and hover in my memories just like ghosts on a haunted ship. All this said, today I want to have a good time and not think about the future (even though midterms are this week), the present (as I am going to be late for my internship), or the past (no more angry ghosts for now please).
