Don't you just hate tautologies like that?

I really don't want tomorrow to happen, but I can't see any tenable alternatives. It would be nice to wake up and find it was not tomorrow but some day in 1999, but I can't see that happening, somehow.

Sometimes I think the last ten years of my life have been a complete waste. But that's probably the influence of LJ.

I looked a bit at stuff about Viktor Frankl and logotherapy on the Net when I was researching a course last year but I'm not really familiar with his work. Am I right in thinking he's a kind of humanistic existentialist? I'll see if "Man's Search for meaning" is in the library.
