The Walking Dead

I made it to my 8:30, once again waking up at 8:15. Since I leave the house at 8:20, that's pretty impressive in my opinion...though I really need to shower, so I may not look my best. I admit that I'll probably go back to bed and then take a shower. Sleep is such a precious commodity to college students.

Last night I went to see Henry IV. I personally thought it it was well done, though some of the actors flubbed their lines. I can't berate them too harshly though, since I do know how difficult it can be when your brain just blanks on stage. I must admit I like the histories, mostly because not everyone is dead at the end, though as River said, there is another part of to Henry IV (we saw part one) and then Henry V (Well technically Richard III and the Henry V, but that means at least Henry makes it through).

River was upset with me once again over my views on relationships again. I'm well aware she doesn't agree with me about somethings, but it's so incredibly annoying when she just clams up rather than talking to me about it (and yes I'm well aware she generally reads this, but I'm crap at confrontation so I'd rather her read this and understand than get into a useless fight). I can make a logical argument for my thoughts, you can not agree with them, but I feel like unless you lay out your point of view I have no chance to defend myself before you get upset. I mean, I understand emotions aren't always rational, but overall I'm a logical person. Maybe that's the reason I view relationships the way I do. I still for some reason feel myself completely blindsided when people act irrationally. I admit I still don't understand River sometimes. She's my best friend, but it's like there's this weird part of her head that just hits me out of nowhere every once in a while, like I really didn't realize how important religion was to her. Like I'm not a religious person overall if you haven't realized, and I know it's probably rude that I want to dissect peoples' reasons for being religious or not, but I suppose that's just me looking for a logical backing for opinions, and I've found time and time again that religion doesn't have to be logical, it just gets to me, because I feel like theirs no way to advance your thinking when you don't take logic into account. Not to say River doesn't have a logical backing or that's wrong, just I haven't heard it, and it truly confounds me.
