"It's the end of the world as we know it, and I actually feel a little bit gassy, but other than that, I'm fine."

I guess shouldn't have eaten all that popcorn watching the world end.

Well, I don't know where else (recent) to post this (I could've sworn we had a brief discussion going about this somewhere a while ago, but nothing's turning up), but here's the basic lowdown on the whole deal for those uninformed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%27ak%27tun

After reading this, I realized something: We're in the twelfth "Baktun"--of course they ended it there! Mayans, as I understand it, loved the number 12 (because it's equally divisible by 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6, I guess. Also, that's why a day is 24 hours: Twelve hours of day, twelve hours of night).

But the Mayans didn't invent our clocks. I think.

They didn't invent clocks, they just invented the concept of twelve hours of day/night (or, barring that, it was a similar culture with similar beliefs. I'm not gonna pretend to know everything here).

I got kicked out of my house. I am not kidding.

Heck, most of this year has been pretty bad for me.

Why did that happen?

Let's just say that mother and I had yet another one of those arguments that seem to pop up every so often.

But worry not. We made up and I'm back at home. Hopefully now we and figure out a way for me to get a place of my own.

Not to keep making you think about such a touchy subject, but how did you reconcile if you were out of the house?

She eventually came and brought me home. She knew I was at grandma's so it's not like she had to hunt me down or anything.
