Perhaps I was too absorbed with that opinion article from The Washington Post that thrust me so haphazardly atop my soapbox earlier this morning.
Perhaps I was too preoccupied with school. Lab work hasn't been going particularly well lately.
Perhaps I was too tired. After all, last night was just the most recent of many nights in which I've had difficulty falling asleep.
Perhaps I was too busy feuding with Amazon.com. They still, after all, haven't delivered his third present. I gave him two of his presents before he left on his business trip on Sunday. But, I was hoping this third and final portion of his gift would arrive in time for his homecoming on Wednesday. On paper, it should have; but, in reality, it's looking less and less likely.
For whatever reason, when my boyfriend called me this morning from his business trip to the East Coast, I completely forgot to wish him a happy birthday. To add insult to injury, a state senator had, in the hour between that first phone call and my sudden realization in lab that I hadn't wished him a happy birthday (which sent me scrambling to the nearest phone, frantically punching Zach's mobile number into the keypad), wished him many happy returns.
My issues now are thus:
1. What should I change my name to?
2. Which country should I move to and make a new start?
For #1, Bustee St. Clair has already been suggested, though I'm afraid to take it since it's more than likely that I'll forget it.
I do, after all, have a habit of forgetting important things.
(Happy Birthday, Zach!)
