She's No Saint..

But she'll take you to your knees.

Suprisingly enough, I forgot something.

Jordyn, oh Jordyn. You totally reminded me of what I forgot. 2000. Who could forget it? What a night. I wasn't very old either, 8 or 9. Actually, almost 9. The anticipation. The excitement! The world was about to change! We would be living off canned food for months, passing the time listening to the radio on good Ole Y2K. We'd have to wait for forever for life to get back to normal, maybe it never would. Everybody was all stocked up. Watching the TV with anticipation. Once that ball dropped, the world would fall into chaos. Its 11:55. Im tiredly waiting for this whole shin dig to get over with so I can sleep. And wouldn't you know it? I fell asleep. 5 minutes before the world was going to change, and I slept through it. For all I know, there could have been an almost tragic computer glitch that was caught just in time. Somebody could've been killed by their computer. But I wouldn't know. I was sleeping. *sigh* Its funny how we've been acting superior for years and years, yet when the year hits the 000 mark. Watch out! We go into survival mode. We act like its the 1800 again, when gays,women, and blacks were supposedly going to take over the world if they were accepted into the straight, white, mens grace. Now we've moved up to computers and technology. Wow. We've come along way haven't we?

Yeah now there's this thing on the MSN home page asking, "Will your tv go blank in 2009?" Not as tragic as, you know, the end of civilization as we know it. But still weird.
