My friends, I believe you may have noticed that I stopped using xanga quite a while ago.  Unfortunately my taste for ranting has returned, but xanga doesn't seem to satisfy it anymore.  Long story short, I've started a LiveJournal at the link provided below if anyone is interested.

373 days after

And so I write once again, one entire year after my last entry and the end of highschool. Now marks another ending albeit a much less dramatic one.  It's just another reminder that time continuously creeps forward even if we feel exactly the same as we did the day before.  Contrary to popular belief its those stages when irritations consume us or responsibilities drown us that time quickens its pace the most... at least in retrospect.  Summers last forever, but winters evaporate.  They seem eternal, but when the sun peers back north we don't understand where the time went; we were too busy wishing it away.

So AP Literature is tomarrow.... I'm pretty nervous about it.  A three isn't going to be as easy as it was last year because lit's m,uch harder than language.

Bio's the biggest one with a possible eight credit hours on the line.

I've finally breached that line into those sentimental weeks before school ends.  Its not easy to explain a sentimental feeling though, and though I don't think anythings bad to talk about, I'm not even going to try to write about it tonight.

Anyways, what? 9 days of school left?  Something crazy like that.  13 years and this is it... kind of weird.  I haven't started over, and though it won't be a complete start over (especially since I'm at Maryland) it'll be different.

Later guys,

So the past few days have reminded me what its like to be sick, and it sucks.  I haven't been miserable, by the grace of God, but there have definately been times when I've been down.

I feel fine right now which is a testament to tylonol, but dang, there are moments when I feel like doing nothing, and I don't fight them.  haha, here was my schedule for today: I woke up at 9:30 and sat in bed for an hour and a half, got up, watched TV, watched more TV, ate dinner, watched TV and here I am now.   I don't want to sound like I'm complaining when I say that (sorry if I do) its just weird cause that would usually drive me absolutely crazy, but it didn't at all today.

I also had a crazy dream last night that I was in an amusement park and the thing I was on was flipping around and stuff.  Finally, my seat came loose and I flew off.  Now there was a five second time between when it happened and when I hit and I was thinking, "nuts... well... I guess this is it.... God, I'm coming up." Then I hit the ground and woke up.  I have the craziest dreams when I'm sick.

So when I'm on tylonol I feel okay, but I'm really dizzy, when I'm not I really don't feel so hot...  So that's basically my endorsement of the drug.

Anyways, later folk, I'll finish my last post at some point...

Watch.  In 2 months it'll happen again.  People are going to start coupling.  Spring does that to people, and its fun to watch people all of a sudden start to say "...huh, it's spring... I'm going to go out with someone."  Of course I don't blame them at all, there really is something magical about spring (especially after winter).

It's funny how my view on dating has stayed almost the same over the past year despite how different I feel sometimes.  I look at people, and generally there are two types in regards to this: those that date and those that don't.  But I don't agree with most people from either groups really.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again: I really dislike the whole, "We are now seeking applicants for the position of boy/girl friend mentality."  Or when people think "hmmm... that person's kind of cool... I definately could go out with them."  From a completely secular level, I think that it almost always ends in some form of pain.  No one intends it to be that way, but it just sort of happens.  And I think that ends up happening largely because people just want something to occupy them or give them an identity, so they date.  Then eventually they find themselves with an accidental connection to their "friend." 

Then again, I don't think swearing dating off altogether is a good idea either, and I'm not only talking about at 18.  I don't think dating is necessarily a bad thing at 16... it makes sense that no magic age exists.  Granted most 13 year olds just aren't ready for a dating relationship, but I think pinning an age sets up a false pretense that when you reach that age, congrats, you're ready to date someone!  And I think that can end up hurting people more than helping them often.  Not that there aren't success stories.
