In Gelterkinden, I Remember To Laugh

(And never, ever forgot it again.)
Tuesday.
So, technically Pi Day is March 14 at 1:59:26 but my school is celebrating it tomorrow because March 14 is a Sunday. And as cool as pi is, I am not waking up for it on a Sunday. Sorry, pi.
What a wonderful holiday. Being a complete and utterly shameless math nerd, I'm so glad that pi is recognized. You know, pi is pretty amazing when you consider it. It never stops. It always keeps going and going. Hell, at any given moment--HEY! Pi is currently STILL being calculated. Look at that constant go, baby! How marvelous! How formidable! How... How..... WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE IT!

Oh, no wait not quite...
OH MY GOD. I saw math equation SHIRTS on the internet! I am so getting those. And pi earrings. I'm so jealous of all of those lucky Mu Alpha Theta members and/or properly attired math enthusiasts. I wish to join the ranks. Aye, aye; I am ready with calculator in hand, Cap'n Factorial!

Life was kind of perfect today. I was so alarmed to see moments go so swimmingly, because I usually cringe at happiness and accept contentment with a lighter hand. No, but it was. As everyone stepped forward for Eucharist at Mass, I just noticed the way each person walked. Wine or no wine? Swagger? And the colours of their hair. The certain blondey, on his way back to his seat, gave (his little sister? A young friend of his?) a little tap on the shoulder, and the tiny girl turned to see. He was gone. I smiled.

So this closing title is fitting. I remembered to laugh. I will always forget, every day. But it's not chronic amnesia. I will be okay.

Thank you, world. For giving me a life without pain and a brain that houses much thought and lastly...

MATH!

I had to. Sue me.
