April fools

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.  - Theodore Roosevelt

My friend showed me how to make minimotivation.com my homepage.  Whenever I open Firefox there is a lovely inspirational quote to greet me.  This one is perfect for today. 

Here is a picture, to make me feel better.

I got an email- sadly, my most recent adventures have stemmed from emails.  I suppose it cannot be helped at present.  I promised myself that I will make up for it someday.  For now, that will have to do.

I got an email, well, first I got a txt telling me I got an email.  "Aria, so I would like to apologize for the embarrassing email my dad sent to you.  I did not put him up to it.  Since our families think it might be a good idea what do you think?"

The txt interrupted a much-needed desperately required nap.  Not a favorable circumstance in which to read an email already proclaimed 'embarrassing'.  The email was, obviously, from Joe's (sender) father.

"While listening to Marvin J. Ballard's address in the closing session of Conference, it reminded me of the last conversation I had with Sister Een (Aria's mother, of course).  We had bumped into each other at the Community Garden, which, by the way, is now growing nicely.  As we spoke, a discussion came up regarding our children over in Hawaii, and whether they had found their "eternal companions" yet.  The news was the same for both of us, that our children were both still looking.

I have been pondering that situation for the past few weeks, and have been thinking it would be nice if the two of you dated at least once while you were in Hawaii.  So, I have decided to send you both this email and encourage you to make some contact and discuss the possibility of a date."

There is more, quite a bit more, but this is enough.

I took this once.  It is my favorite.  Someday
I will print a poster of it and hang it...somewhere.
Why is it here?  Pictures make blog posts
endurable and this has a nice calming effect.

I'd rather not go on a date because someone's parents, or best friend, or aunt, or sister thinks it's a good idea.  I would rather be asked based on the person's own perception of my own merit.
I told Joe that it was April fools day, I am not accustomed to being serious or taking other people 
seriously today but I am willing to discuss this later.  Preferably after the first week of next semester because then I will either be in Physics or not and I won't have to read any more depressing novels and write book reports on them.  Hopefully my stress headache will be gone.  If I'm lucky, my back will not be so knotted. I know this is like an official induction into the 'worst people in the world' hall of shame; but right or wrong that is what I said, hopefully deferring any action until I have the brain power to deal with it.
I'll go, if he asks me himself.
