Rambles and Self-Deprecation

Memory is a funny thing. It has an annoying habit of making the past seem more pleasant than the present moment. I know that the past was just as good or just as bad as what I am going through now, but it is depressing if I constantly look back and think that things were better as they were. I hope to always think that I am improving as well as needing improvement, that I am learning as well as having more to learn. I don't really want my current tribulations to be overblown, but neither do I want them to be underestimated- and unfortunately I cannot have an objective opinion on the subject. So, if I'm melancholy today then I shall look at my past with a melancholy perspective.
Doesn't melancholy sound like a type of tea?
Anyone who knows me a little might appreciate my mixed feelings for the library I am sitting in. While being surrounded by books is never a bad thing, it could be improved if the quality of the literature were improved. And now I sound like a snob.
It doesn't seem fair- I'm sleeping far more than I did in college but I seem to be more tired. I think it's dehydration. Silly chemical processes, what do you really do for me? Of course it is likely that it is actually those chemical reactions that allow me to type this, but...
meh.
I shall go and play my guitar. That will make me feel better. And I'm still waiting for a certain kidnapping... although it looks like you guys haven't updated so I don't know when you'll read this. If it's soon- don't come in the morning or the early afternoon, as I will likely be going crazy while my body rests in a catatonic state; either that or I'll be sleeping.
Bad jokes. What would I do without them?
