Sometimes, I get emotional about things, usually to my embarrassment. My embarrassment is amplified when I get irrationally emotional over things that are pretty stupid. Here's a good example from earlier this morning.
Through wiki-surfing, as the kids call it these days, I stumbled upon a list of all the characters on the hit TV show Friends. As I started reading about Friends and all of the friends' friends, I began to wonder how all of the plot lines were resolved over the course of the series, which I had stopped watching after the third season or so. I clicked on the entry "Season synopsis of friends" and began reading away. Discovering the ways in which Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler, and Ross' lives changed as they moved from their mid-twenties to their mid-thirties made me really sad. I started thinking about growing up, and the ways in which people grow apart, and move on with their lives. I then had to look up all of the characters to see when they were born, to see how far removed I am from the ages of the characters as the show began. Anyway, I learned a lot about Friends today, and became quite upset doing so.
Pretty crazy, no?

It's making me sad, just thinking about it. Thanks a BUNCH, Avi!
I'm not worried. I mean, we did just sign a 15 year lease. Oh, you thought it was a 1 year lease? Whoops... guess I forgot to tell you that we'll be living in the same room until we're at least 38. Won't that be fun?
