Eric and I caught 2012 on Friday. The show sort of lingered in my mind over the past few days since I get spooked quite easily by things like the world ending in 2012.

Actually I read of the Mayan prophecy a few years back and it's been on my head for a while now, so the show sort of made some kind of graphical impression upon me. It got me wondering what would happen, and what I would be doing on that particular date, whether I wanted to be at work (21/12/2012 falls on a Friday, friends) and live life as usual, or would I want to force Eric to take leave and be with baby and me (who, coincidentally, will be almost 3 years old then!) so that we can be together when the world stalls disintegrating.

After the show I also told Eric that even though ideally our kids should be 3 years apart, I don't want to be pregnant in 2012 at all, and well, beyond 2012 if the world continues, then we can try for more, so my baby's going to be an only child for at least 4 years! (My mother would probably disapprove of this, but well, the Bible does say that in the end days it will be super difficult for pregnant and nursing mothers, so I want things to be a little 'easier'.)

I don't want to strike something off as total bollocks, but when I read this article on Daily Common Sense , I felt a huge sigh of relief (the whole pole shifting in one day thing doesn't make logical sense, as the article explains). I also know that it's unwise for us to already know how we're going to die (if life were so bloody predictable, then life would be a boring game to enjoy, eh? The point is, neither death nor the future are two things we're meant to discover this early in life, and while I can keep telling myself that 'nows' the only time and thing that matters at this point in time, that part of me that ensures survivability (my fear thermostat, that is) keeps ticking on me.

Damn you Roland Emmerich.

That's all I can say now. Stupid money sucking scam artist. Shucks. Now I need to actually stop believing that 2012 is going to come true. (these kind of paranoia can't be good for us).

To life!
