Fear Factor

I didn't get to write yesterday because I thought there was nothing really to write about. But then, I realized that in our everyday life, there is always something to write about, especially since it's my life, isn't it? It should be interesting, least of all to me.



The whole day, I was trying to review and know the extent of my entire scientific knowledge. I was afraid because the result was that I forgot every single fact and information from grade school to high school that I learned about biology, chemistry and physics. I don't even know the difference between meiosis and what's-the-other-one. And I haven't the faintest idea of the laws of thermodynamics. I'm really in hot water in this one. And the more I don't remember, the more I got afraid, the more I forget. Does that makes sense?



Then, after watching CSI last night, I talked to Liza and I told her my thoughts on her current situation. Hesitant and afraid of her reaction, I scrambled for better words. I am usually frank and direct and subtlety, in my case is not exactly the same as it is in most people. Needless to say, afterwhich, I was feeling like I should apologize for not minding my own business. But as usual, I feel that as a friend, I should give her another perspective on things. No matter how much I want her to be happy, I don't want her to get hurt in the future either. Maybe, I just fear of bursting any happy bubble that she has.



Well, that's just me, justifying my being nosy and tactless.



During one of my serious speeches, a cockroach crawled into my arm and promptly stared at me afterwards. Needless to say, nothing could be heard but me screeching, staring at the huge, creepy crawly that can scare the living daylights out of me more than anything else in the world. Thank goodness my sister was there to the rescue. I nearly forgot that Liza was still on the other line.



Last in this long day of fear staring at me in the eye, was when Liza and I were discussing sex, or more importantly, my lack of experience thereof. Well, I will not discuss it here, for fear of offending your sensibilities.



Whew! What a day yesterday had been. I wonder what's in store for me today?

  1. As I've said talking with you is like watching 'Sex and the City' and 'American Idol'...informative, entertaining and habitual. c",)
