ups. and also downs. but really moderate ups & downs. and also a graph.

many ups and downs last week.

UP: i was telling a story and used the word "virulent". i didn't know such a word existed, but apparently it does because after i used it i looked it up in the dictionary and not only is it an actual word, but it's an actual word which i used correctly.
i was scared of my new psychic powers.
DOWN: last night whilst reading i learned that i have been mispelling the word "prerogative" my entire life and thus also mispronouncing it.
i felt stupid.

UP: at different points in the week a couple people confessed their aims to be more like me.
i was touched. my heart grew three sizes.
as did my head.
however(DOWN), when i ever so humbly pried for ellaboration one person told me she admired how i continually try to talk to the people even though they are overtly apathic towards me and the other said she enjoys how familiar i seem to be with all the 7/11 and wendys employees in the three mile radius of my apartment.
i felt pathetic.

...okay, so maybe i was setting too lofty a goal when i said "many" ups and downs.
cuz there are really just the two.

but look, here's a graph like i promised in the title...
