A follower up to last week's "random-based" entry...

Did you know the phrase "TGIF" starting in the United States?

According to the well-made-used-of Wikipedia, the "phrase" has become a common expression of relief at the end of the work week and anticipation of relaxing or partying over the weekend.

It was further popularised by the 1978 movie starring Donna Summer, Thank God It's Friday. Thereafter the phrase somewhat become common for advertising and promotional materials. On college campuses beginning in the 1970s, the phrase (sometimes shortened to "TG") became associated with Friday afternoon beer parties, usually held outdoors.

*Blah, blah, blah*

It's good to have Wikipedia around sometimes, tells you tons of stuff that the dictionary conveniently "overlooks" (which I have no arguments with).

Anyhow.

It was a Friday, as mentioned previously on the day itself, but I'm not sure if I should be thanking god for it.

Sigh. Why had "Judgment Day" be cast upon me on the last work day of the week? It's as if 5 days of "work" wasn't enough to drain the live outta me, come Friday and I was face with... "The end of the world!?"

Ahhh... The stress was intolerable! If I hadn't caught hold of my heart, it may have literally jumped out. (Still living and breathing... So yeah... I survived.)

Drama - you think?

Perhaps. What can I say...

Okay, so I'm exaggerating. It's really not close to the-end-of-the-world kinda situation. Still. It was somewhat a do or die thingy. And by die, I don't mean actual death, but ostracization - outcast of society! (Reminds me of the in-out-group in a weird kinda way.)

I'm not much of a group oriented person, but certain "groups" have this "power" over me.

Gosh. At my age and I'm consumed by peer pressure. What are the odds.

Anyhow, better get down to business before I completely forget the point of writing this entry.

Why did I start writing this again? Oh yes...

After infinite preparation for the last couple of days (before the Friday thingy that is), I was... NOT AT ALL CONFIDENT to make an impression - a good one for that matter of fact.

I like them. Not the "dating" kinda way, but I think they're a pretty kewl bunch based on the "stories" communicated to me by my dear Teddybear. The only issue is that sentiments aren't exactly the same - on their side that is.

What can I say, my social abilities aren't exactly my plus factors. In fact, it may be what's slowly secluding me from society. Soon, all I'd have left would be... This. My blog. Fullstop. *Ouch*

I dreaded the thought of having to go through with it, but not going through with it would make matters worst. Like I said, it's a do or die. There's no way around it.

The clock stroked 6, and it was time.

Thankfully, "Assumption" saved me - for another hour or two at least. The church bells rang and mass began.

In case you didn't already know, by "Assumption" I'm referring to...

The Roman Catholic Church teaches as Dogma, that the Virgin Mary, "having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory."

This means that Mary was transported into Heaven with her body and soul united.

The feast day recognizing Mary's passage into Heaven is celebrated as The Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary by Roman Catholics.

This doctrine was dogmatically and infallibly defined by Pope Pius XII on 1 November 1950 in his Apostolic Constitution Munificentissimus Deus.

The Assumption of Mary into heaven is also taught by the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Oriental and Coptic Orthodox Churches, where it is known as the Dormition of the Theotokos. In those denominations that observe it, the Assumption is commonly celebrated on August 15, a Holy Day of Obligation in Roman Catholicism.

(Wikipedia saves the day AGAIN!)

Anyway.

As much as I'd love to hear all about "Assumption", I still couldn't get my mind off Judgment Day. The words,

Will they give me a chance?
Can I leave a good impression for once?
What should I say... Or not say?
Ahhh... Someone save me!

It kept ringing in my head, constantly reminding me...

What happened next?

Stay tune...
