Hmph. Well, I WAS going to take a nap, but I decided to spontaneously clean part of my room, and now my bed is covered with odd socks and books and all the things one usually finds under a bed. Damnit.

Most of you who don't live under rocks have probably heard about the shooting of 4 Pierce County police officers here in Washington state. The shooting happened about 5-10 minutes away from the library where my father works, and the lone female officer killed was apparently a former Lacey police officer. It's really a very terrible, very sad thing. The four officers were in a coffee shop, working on laptops, when someone simply walked into the shop, shot all four of them, and ran.

I just read on the news that the one suspect they had has been killed as well by Seattle police officers. He was apparently in a broken-down car by the side of the road when they found him, and the claim is that he was reaching for a gun, so they immediately took him down.

I hate to say it, but I don't know that we'll ever know whether it was true that he attempted to go for a weapon. He was the only suspect, and with a police officer shooting like that, the practice is usually to shoot first and ask questions later.

That's my 2 cents on the whole thing. Now, they'll consider it all over, I suppose. It's really a terrible tragedy.

Uuugh I need that nap. Maybe I'll just hollow out a little spot here on the bed.

Writer's Block: I hate to bring this up ...

Huh. I can honestly say, after living together for an entire year and entangling myself emotionally, financially, and legally with my dear muffin-brain, I don't have any secrets from him anymore. I also don't have any issues with him that haven't already been discussed. And he barely reads the LJ anymore, so I'm not just saying this so he'll read it and be reassured. It's true.

Maybe it's partially because I'm so verbal - there is rarely an issue in my life that I let go unmentioned. But Meridan is decidedly not so verbal, and he manages to share these issues with me as well, so that might not be it. But I don't know.

That's not to say there weren't things like this in the beginning. Definitely, it took some time to get everything out in the open. But I wouldn't be wearing this ring on my finger if I was hiding junk from him.

Clearly, I am procrastinating now. Ugh. Must get back to cleaning... must...

• 15:48 how can garbage expand so much? one little corner of my room yielded 3 bags. WTF? #
• 15:52 I need to stop watching The Learning Channel. The Duggars are weird. #
• 15:53 I told Meridan that my favorite shows on TLC are the morbidly obese people shows, and he says that makes me a bad person. He may be right. #
• 23:08 When I was 6, I once cut myself with safety scissors. Instead of crying, I became indignant about false advertising. #
• 23:12 Man, crocheting this blanket for my bed has made me realize just how fucking small this bed is. No wonder Meridan elbows me in the night. #
