"The body sins once, and has done with its sin, for action is a mode of purification. Nothing remains then but the recollection of pleasure, or the luxury of regret. The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful."The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde

My Elizabethtown Morning

I've been sitting here thinking, yet again, for the past day and half...trying to break down what the next 5 1/2 months of my life should break down to and why. Romantically, scholastically, professionally...and it makes me want to cry. I am almost certainly going to be on the other side of the country in the beginning of August. There is no more denying it. And now I have to consider how it's going to effect the people I care about most here...one of which, especially at this moment, is going to crack...I'm developing the timeline of my ending high school career and interactions and it makes me want to cry. Redundant, yes. The truth? You betcha red rider.

My Internal Rhythm... aka The Year End Post

I realized a couple hours ago as I was strategically 'strolling' through Albertson's that my internal rhythm goes a little something like this: "HIT ME! Can you keep up, baby boy? Make me lose my breath..." That's right. Destiny's Child is what keeps my hips swinging when there is no audible music. And for some strange reason, it amuses me.

But yes, this is the year end post. And the needless cliche of amazement regarding how fast it's been is what comes to mind. This has been one of my more productive and profound years to say the least, even if I haven't shared all the details with the internet audience.

I hope everyone can look themselves in the mirror and say the same thing, or at least something close. This was a big year for me and my peers and the next is undoubtedly going to be our most profound and life changing yet. So heads up children! Look into the fading night and unto the brightening day and blink slowly. Acknowledge the importance of time at least once so you can never say that you never did.

Have a prosperous new year.

"....I let her drive away from me, and as she she left, I heard her sing 'oh, let the sun shine in and face it with a grin'..."

Things have been debatable.  I've experienced 'heartbreak', elation, infatuation, jealousy...everything that makes a typical teenage girl.   I'm changing...quite rapidly really...and that has been a rather daunting entity in itself.  The question has been arising almost constantly as to whether or not I give in to that which I do not know.  And that has as I said, been a rather daunting factor in the existence of me. 

Finals, two weeks shy of honorary seniorhood, two months to read and scrutinize myself...graduation, absenteeism of my friends...running, weight loss, shallow moments of self induced vanity...

All this already...but I'm ready, even as it's happening.  Even if I dread its potential.

I still have this thing...so I might as well update, no?  Just a look back at things...that's where I was a year ago.  Afraid to be a junior...well, that fear has certainly passed.  This year's gone by exceptionally fast...especially the last two months...this is all really pointless because of my falsely pretentious and cynical attitude towards society as of late--but this will pass...or so I hope...

AP tests went alright, track is over, I feel considerably smaller, I recently discovered how much I like JUST making out and how I can live without thoroughly elicit action, and...life.  It's this big cyclone and I feel as though I'm in the eye...
