"don't die."

1. class today, beautiful weather, weekend started. overall? great day.
2. watched tv with my suitemate tonight, read a book (like, a non-school book, shocker!), and ate some ice cream. wow, 12 hours = ♥
3. going to bed relatively early tonight and planning to have a productive and fun weekend!

so i wrote on my hand the word "biology" today because i wanted to remind myself that i wanted to blog about that tonight. buuuut now i've been reading the do-over novel "pretty little mistakes" for the second time and it gave me something else to think about. this book, btw, was a graduation present from my sister. i like it a lot and highly recommend it, if for nothing else than its entertainment value and its perspective about life. anyway, i've talked about death before but not how i want to talk about it tonight. it seems crazy to me how easily we can all die. like, so many things in this life can be straight-up lethal. but isn't it strange how many billions of people avoid death every day? what makes life the option some people get to take over death? it makes me even more supportive of the principle of survival of the fittest. granted, it's not as big of a deal now as it was back then, but it's still relevant. lifestyle choices, like overeating or not exercising or tanning, are not exactly conducive to surviving and passing on genes. but the thing is, lifestyle choices will usually keep someone alive long enough to reproduce, unlike getting killed by a velociraptor or something. anyway, i just think it's weird how death is so close at every moment and how it seems so random that some people die and some people don't--it's like flipping a coin. or so it seems...who can really know, though. i think i need to post funny stuff again soon...my posts are getting too heavy. suggestions?
