Writing about writing about words.

Isn't it strange the way we over analyze things. In school a professor would ask me to write about a piece of writing which was a review of a piece of writing ... which the professor would review and grade using words. Essentially the prof would write about my writing which was written about a piece of writing about writing.

Silly, right... we do this often in life.

I actually spent some time yesterday writing events down in my calendar book that had already happened. Dumb stuff, stuff I had already done, like- "Yoga class 5:30" or "Gyno appointment 12:00". Oh, and this is embarrasing, I wrote down all the presidential primaries-- "Super Tuesday" and such, after they had already happened...Backwards, yes... I'm convinced I wrote these things down so that when I happened to have my calendar out around someone they would think I had been busy and attentive. They might think I was organized. A functional member of society. Most people who know me would see right through my ploy. Same with the To-do lists. I find them crumpled in jacket pockets... torn to bits in the washing machine.
