It was just a false alarm.

I often feel so much need to collect.. friends, memories, photographs, admirations, experiences. Because I am acutely aware at every moment just how transient this time is. I cannot afford to be negative for a moment. There's only so many chances I will get. So, that being said, I apologize to the girl in the library to whom I was extremely rude last night when she asked if I would unplug my cell phone charger so she could plug in her computer. I did the right thing in practice.. I let her use it.. but I did the wrong thing, because I spent the next hour (!) seething. Really? I don't have thirty seconds to spare.
