jibber jabber

last week, i had been writing my dates as 4/3/09, 4/4/09, and 4/5/09 on all my notes. even though i consciously knew that it was march, i kept writing april...and i had no desire to go back and change it. i'm getting ahead of myself, but that's nothing out of the norm for me. maybe it's just me [because i haven't met anyone else who does this] but i think faster than i speak or write. so as i'm talking to you, my mind is already sending in the next couple of words and it always confuses the hell out of me when my mouth says something completely different because it couldn't catch up:

FRIEND: what answer did you get for that 

question she gave us in class?

ME: oh, i just said that gatsby represented the 

american lifestyle in the '20's which was 

lavish and washing

and of course my friend only catches that last word and nothing else i had just said. i had wanted to say lavish and wealthy and that fitzgerald was washing all that dreaming out of his reader's minds--bringing them to realism. but no, all we could focus on now was the fact that i said 'washing' at the wrong time. 

p.s. this is my last post before spring break. my brain doesn't ever function when i'm on break and my friends can vouch for that. don't have spring break yet? ---sorry...but i will be having fun ;]
