To Write Something Brilliant, One Must...

If anyone has something to fill in there, I would be thrilled. Seriously, I can't write anything all that great recently! I lack inspiration, I suppose. Also, I'm having technical difficulties. My laptop had a virus almost as bad as mine a while back, and since then, all of my MS Office software is gone! I'm going to have to fix that somehow or another, but until then, I've been living without! I miss being able to jot down the beginning or end of a story quickly and save it so I can go back to edit and add things later.

This sudden desire to write (and not just write, but write brilliantly) has come from a realization that I have been neglecting my brain for a very long time. It makes me sad that I don't strech my vocablulary now as a young adult than I did years ago as a small child. I need to stop saying what needs to be done and start DOING!

I have been thinking about taking up photography. Not just for the glamour of it, although that is appealing, but because I've never done it before. And I think that it might help me understand that side of journalism, and therefore help me decide if that is really what I want to do with my life. I have been weighing several career 'ideas' and dreams for most of my life, and journalism is one of them.

Speaking of careers, I need to pick a college! I've got several I like, and I'm of course applying to ALL THE COLLEGES, as one of my favorite Memes says, but I really need to make some decisions here!  Gosh darn it!

The world in general is both unbelievably beautiful and unimaginably messed up. History has taught us the latter, but the news teaches us the former. Even then, sometimes one must stop and remember what is really important to you yourself, and how those values reflect those of the rest of the world. I was watching this show called Life After People, and it gave me hope. The way things were going, if every human on Earth were to dissapear, right now, the world would be able to recover from all the years of damage we have inflicted on it.  I must be going, I've got things to do, people to see, worlds to save, you know, boring stuff.

Allons-y!

Return from Moordoor!

As you may or may not have noticed, I haven't posted anything in AGES! I intend to fix that, as well as explain why I haven't been posting.

You see, people of the Internet, I have been fighting a very nasty cold-consumption-plauge strain which rendered me nearly useless to general population. I have gone from unable to breath from coughing, to loopy on so much medication that (were it horse trnquilizer) it would knock out a dozen horses! As much fun as this roller-coaster of a month has been, it's not even over yet.

Emotionally, this month has been kind of a mixed bag. My Knight may not be all I built him up to be. And an old face is creeping up on me again. Oh well, I guess things will all work out in the end. Sorry this was so short, I'm still on medication and therefore exhausted.

Allons-y!

Ill and Watching Really Old Movies

So, there you have it.

I went to one of the best concerts of my life on Saturday, only to contract the Plague on Tuesday! Oh well, better to have the one before the other, eh? So now I sit and watch movies from no earlier than the 80s to keep myself out of trouble Affair to Remember yesterday, Romeo and Juliet (the 1968 version), Hair, and a little bit of Exit Through the Gift Shop (which, admittedly, was made in the 2000s) today.

I've also been doing quite a bit of Facebook stalking this week. Just your average friend/ex-friend stalking. It might not be good for me, but I did do one thing good for me today so it balances out. I finally decided to stop conversing with those who will do me harm, even if they don't seek to. I have said I would before, but today I feel at my strongest resolve. There are those out and about in the world who are far better than those who I previously pursued.

Let's see, what else have I to rant about? Nothing, as of now, but prepare for more, Dear Reader.

Allons-y!!!

Seminar proves itself useful...again!

Seminar, for those who don't know, is my first class of the day. It's a sort of character building, get-you-ready-for-the-day-with-a-positive-attitude, kind of class. I think it's a good idea in theory, but it has only really spoken to me a few times. Today was one of them. As part of a financial literacy unit, we have been "married off" to other people in our class. The person I'm married to is nice enough, but not much of a help. I can tell he's going to need some growing up, but he'll turn out just fine. Maybe he needs some world view and perspective. Not saying that I don't, just that I might be a tad more mature at the moment. The whole experience is making me realize that I have yet another quality to add to my growing list of things I'll need in my man: MATURITY.

On an unrelated note, I really do need to figure out what I want to do with my life. I'm juggling about six ideas for careers/life paths and I have to narrow it down somehow. But every time I try, I find more interesting careers to replace and add to the list! I should put them all in a hat and draw randomly. If I'm disappointed with what I get, it doesn't go back in the hat. Then draw again, and so on and so on. When I get to the last career/life path, if it is what I really want, I'll know.  I think I'll go do that. Later Dudes/Dudetts!

Allons-y!

Feb. 1st: A Debriefing

So. Today I auditioned for Pride and Prejudice, the school play this year, and it went far better than expected! The person I read with, whom I had never previously seen act, was PHENOMENAL! And it was one of my better auditions because I was comfortable with this person. I feel like I can be myself around them. And you know what? I'm psyched for Weight Training tomorrow! I can't freaking wait! Not to mention, I did a pretty bang-up job on a presentation for US History. I think this is all a sign that the dark days are ending. *Knock on wood* I'm getting my "game" back, which is good because it is severely needed! All I need now is to find a new book series to obsess over until March when THE HUNGER GAMES COMES OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm rather looking forward to it. If you, Dear Reader, are having trouble following this disjointed gibberish, you're not the only one. My mind goes at about a million miles per hour in here. Oh! I just learned today that there are six zeros in a million. I didn't know that off the top of my head until someone told me today. You know how I almost always end my blogs with ''Allons-y!''? Well, I was thinking that maybe I'd try it in other languages and such. Perhaps even a different phrase. But I really like ''Let's go!'' It's fun! It's a challenge and an invitation! I suppose we shall see, but for now...you guessed it...

Allons-y!
