Nothing coming

Do you ever have those days where you either have to write a paper or answer a random question and nothing seems to come to you? I have always hated having those days. Especially if say it happens on a test, and you just can't come up with the answer even though you know that it is just on the tip of your tongue. It is awful, and to make it worse the test is timed so you only have so much time to think about it,....and in the end it just makes it worse.
The other thing that is annoying about not coming up with anything, is that when you do finally come up with the answer you tend to spit it out out loud at the most random moment that it makes no sense at all to those around you, and so you get a bunch of funny looks. You would think that we would be able to learn our lesson, but no....it just keeps happening.

Computers

I hate computers. I will admit that they are helpful to a point and that you need them to do anything around here anymore, but you would think that people could make them a little less tempermental.
It seems like everytime I get on to do something, there is something that goes wrong with the computer, whether it is buttons not working or the internet being uncooperative, it doesn't matter what, it is just not allowing me to do what I need to do and so in the end it causes me and probably those around me much more stress than needed.
Computers have their place, but honestly, I hate them.

Chocolate

An essential evil. A wonderful dessert. A rare treat. Absolutely delicious. A way to cheer up a girl. A gift when nothing else seems to work. The food that makes everything better. Completely unresistable. Discusting. Mmmmmm...... Can I have some? Are you trying to tempt me? Where? The realization that chocolate will make the problem at least a little better.....etc.....
It's amazing how many different thoughts will come to people just when they hear the word Chocolate. I know that on average it is positive thoughts that will come, but sometimes.....there are those people that just dont' like chocolate.
Personally, I love it, not in every form, but I do love it. I also think that it is in general an essential evil, but I can't speak for everyone.
What I love most about the word Chocolate though, is the different emotions that come across when you say it.....it is definitely a matter of opinion.

Darkness Falls....

What happens to people and their emotions when it starts to get dark? I have heard of darkness described as scary, cold, unfriendly, comforting, peaceful, and dangerous, among many others. I often take the opportunity to observe people, it is simply one of my many pastimes. One thing that I have noticed in my observations is that when it gets dark out side, the mood of people change. There are two moods that stick out the most: Fear and Fasination.
There are so many people that although they may not admit it...they are afraid of the dark. Perhaps not the dark itself but the uncertainty of it. As the darkness falls so to say, this group of people become more self conscience, and tend to look around themselves more. They tend to jump at small sounds that would be considered common placed during the daylight hours. They also walk faster, as if they are worried that something is going to chase them down, attack them, or something else to that effect. Another thing that they do is they avoid people more, they have shifting eyes, and a large bubble space. In effect they are afraid of their surroundings, or the possibility of what could be in them.
Now on the other hand, those that are fasinated with the dark....that is a different story altogether. Often that is when they are actually trying to get out of the house, even if it is just to stand on the porch in the darkness. The feeling of being surrounded by the darkness, and shadows often will be described by them as comforting. Granted under certain circumstances they are still very aware of those around them, but they appear to be more confident, and at peace with themselves while in the darkness, not always jumpy and easily frightened. They are essentially themselves, and much more calm and serene then they are during the day...in a lot of ways it is a nice change to see them like that.
Granted there are those that have a bit of both in them, and others that have neither, they are something else altogether, but even so, to me, it is a fasination. Not only the darkness itself but also the effect that darkness has on others.....its a time to see a different side of people, that is often hidden from others, to me, it is fasinating.
