I'm reminiscing or something, reading entries from early 2004. I was crushing so badly; it's embarrassing.
22. Did you fall in love in 2003?
I'd like to think so, yes.
Bollocks. It was infactuation [sic].
Perhaps I will be having cynical lemming children after all. Not sure about lemmings, though.
ticca, remember that^?

2004: I hate how my emotions can be so easily manipulated. I was very happy a moment ago. That's something to do for 2004. Let it be carved in stone.
I suppose that's the resolution. No can do. It can only get worse.
