Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I'm here with you?

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room; well I'm here with you...

So I once had a conversation with Christian about how many people would legitimately remember your birthday without the help of facebook. Christian said something about being curious but not wanting to risk the depressing knowledge of how few people would actually remember. Since I temporarily deactivated facebook a few weeks ago, for an unrelated reason, this seemed like a good opportunity to put that question to the test. The results?

3 people remembered.

Glass half full interpretation: the girl I'm courting, my best friend, and the friend I've known the longest remembered so if it was only going to be three people, at least it was those three.

"What if you could go back in time
And take all those hours of pain and darkness
And replace them with something better?"

Always loved those lines.

It's been 10 years since the release of Donnie Darko.

Holy smokes.

I try not to think of my job in terms of money but I had this thought process while watching Glee the other day:

Will: I'm not a dentist, [I'm a teacher] - I don't make 80 thousand dollars a year.
Me: I do

Dammit, this is why leaving Fort McMurray is not a snap decision. Stupid economy!
