The Importance of Absurdity

Gah! So I'm officially a big jerk. Apparently, I promised my brother earlier in the summer that he could have my John Mayer cd. I don't really remember doing so, though I'm pretty sure it was when we were in Montana, and I don't remember much of our family interaction at all from Montana (I was too busy stressing about GSW to remember). In any event, I don't doubt that I did so, seeing as I bought it last summer and he burned it so he'd know the songs when he saw Mayer in concert. I have this nice little backlash against John Mayer since late Winter, for whatever reason. I only liked a couple songs on the cd anyway and now the thought of him just disgusts me (although, I do still turn up the radio when his songs come on, oddly enouh). I don't think I'd played the cd since January.

So anyway, after Montana, I went off to Governor's School and made some friends who also don't like him, which of course, influenced me all the more. So, when Sarah Doyle visited right after break, and happened to mention that she didn't have the cd and wanted to get it eventually, I offered her mine and gave it to her. With no recollection that I'd already promised it to my brother.

And of course, not too long ago, while packing for Scotland for the semseter, my brother came and asked where the cd was. I told him I didn't have it 'cause I gave it to Sarah and then asked why he asked. And he told me that I'd promised it to him earlier in the summer. He was pretty ticked. And I feel awful! I mean, he has the burned copy, but I never promise my brothers things. And now, the one time that I did, I totally let him down. Stupid stupid stupid!
