Series Of Unfortunate Events

I cant believe I actually said what I did. Ok so here is the story. I took a test today in my Criminal Law Course. I was sitting there studying when the girl next to me, (dont know her name but she knows mine...dont you hate that???), starts telling me about how rotten the last few weeks have been for her. It turns out her boyfriend was shot and murdered. I felt awful. So I shared a few comforting words. Basically I dug up things my dad has used to cheer me up in the past. Now I am in no way insensitive to her circumstance, but it isnt something that I am going to think about all day. WELL..................apparently 5 minutes later I forgot all about it. I was trying to study and there is this term "transfered intent" which in a nutshel means if Person A tried to kill Person B but missed and instead killed Person C then it would still be considered murder even though it was unintentional due to the fact that Person A had the malicious intent to kill Person B. The intent just transfers. ANYWAY...........For some reason I felt like commenting on the term. I look at her and say "You know if I finally got the courage to shoot someone , missed, killed someone else, and went to jail I would be angry. I would want to go back out and shoot again." She just gave me this blank stare. It was then I realized what I had said. Does everyone see where my error in judgement was? Why would I talk about wanting to shoot someone to the girl whose boyfriend was just shot and killed. These are the moments you just want the ground to swallow you whole. I wish I could blog about all my previous foot in mouth moments. I could write a book. I wouldnt want to bore you.
