If only she had called me. If only I was listed.*

I was kind of bored this morning so I attempted to read up on current events. Sadly I am one of those people who is disconnected from the world. If I were into at least celebrity gossip then maybe I might be a tad more interesting. But you see, I don't find that stuff interesting. To me, current events are like science - there's no real correlation there except for in my head so don't hurt yourself thinking about it. When I study science and I come across a big word I can't pronounce it gets skimmed over and in the end, completely ignored. I block the word from my mind because it doesn't have a definition attached and I can't even say it so why bother? This is a flaw - possible learning disability for me. So when I start reading about stuff going on in the world and I come across issues that have a history longer than my DNA chain I skip over it. So I am left with half understanding and half opinions about topics - I want to be able to talk about this stuff, but at the same time, I don't care enough to read up on it.
So this morning was just another failed attempt. I read the headline about the San Andres fault giving off "mysterious vibrations" and that things might be progressing more quickly than originally thought. And that was about it, I decided I didn't really want to read up on current events so I never got to the first sentence of the article. All I have to say is Mur...get out and get out now. Come to Virginia. Cali is a lost cause, it's going to fall into the ocean, but Virginia is protected from such natural disasters...I worked it all out.
The only other thing I read was the headline that Stewart (as in Bella from Twilight) pregnancy rumors are denied. I clicked on that thinking I would be more interested. But the article came up and her picture with it, her half opened eyes picture and I said, "I'm Bella, I always look stoned." And closed it. The headline told me all I needed to know anyway...she's not pregnant.
At least I knew MJ died, I've got enough coming in to know that.
I think that if someone could just explain current events (and their respective histories) to me in layman's terms that I could get it...I'm going to work on that, on finding someone to help me with that.
