When is Good Friday?

I don't want to check Google right now, I just want to know, when is Good Friday? I kinda checked Google for the date - and I'm confused. I always picked it to be around April 10th or 15th - I know it's always the Friday before Easter, and I always think Easter is around April 10th, or sometimes April 6th...

I thought it was like, the 2nd Friday in April, or something like that. But it can't be that...

So I checked a few years - so Good Friday is this upcoming Friday, March the 29th, which makes Easter fall on April Fool's Day. So I checked - between 2008 and 2014, Good Friday is anywhere between March 21st and April 22nd. That's super strange!

Also, I read that this March is special - and there won't be another March with this quality for the next 823 years - this March has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays, and 5 Sundays. It's supposed to be good luck or something. But that's pretty neat.

anxiety e-mails

Every now and then while I write an e-mail or a message or something to someone on the Internet, I get some sort of anxiety - like the anxiety you get when you try to talk to your crush for the first time. I would write an e-mail and then I would edit it but not send it yet, wondering if it's not perfect yet, or whatever.

And then all of a sudden I would take a step back, and say something along the lines of "it's just the internet" - and then I would hit "SEND". Then I get the feeling that the task is done, and then I feel good about it. So instead of worrying and everything, I just click one button and all that anxiety just vanishes. I separate myself from the message or something or I let ... something something. Internet. It works strange.

Did you hear about the two silk worms who were in a race?
 
They both ended up in a tie.
