Why is it that negative emotions retain themselves longer than positive ones? Is it because we take what we have for granted and focus so much on what we want? I can't seem to get away from those negative emotions, and I don't want to think about the people attached to them at all. In fact, I'd like to see their names on granite impaled in the ground. But at the same time, I remember them, and I've forgotten the name of the man who saved my life when I was eight years old.

That sucks.

"But I would if you did me this favor."

"I can't be guarenteed an oppurtunity like this again."

"So that's it?"

"Yep."

"Go to hell."

"Trust me, after this it will be a nice vacation."

"Shut up."

"And if I don't?"

"Just shut up!"

"Is there something about my voice that upsets you?"

"I told you to shut up!"

"And I asked you a question, the least you could do is answer it."

I wonder if Mother Teresa ever got mad and beat the crap out of someone.

Ah well, she's a woman first and a saint second, so she probably messed up a lot along the way.
