Parentheses, Pretending and Paucity

Something random changed and I'm not sure if this is going to look right, but oh well. That's what the edit button is for.

So anyway, look! Updating! I was going to update a long time ago but I realized I had nothing to say. Well, that hasn't really changed, but I at least have something that vaguely resembles a topic now. I'll call it "My Feelings" Nah, that's too cliché. How about, "My Current Mood" ? Or, "Proof that My Emotional Range is Much Larger than a Teaspoon"? Hehe.

First though, I have the hiccups. Very irritating. It hurts! And I already had a headache.

Anyhow, to get to the point (it's not in Disney World anymore) I do want to talk about the way I'm feeling right now, because I'm confused. (What else is new? (That's a really weird saying, if you think about it. Because it isn't new. It's like saying same difference. (But I'm a bit of a hypocrite as I use both of those expressions.))) See, I'm feeling a little...down, I guess. Not especially perky, probably due to lack of sleep and I didn't eat much today. But rather than acting sort of melancholy, I smile and act like I normally do, since there's no real reason for me to feel that way. I'm wondering if that's correct. I don't want to be fake and pretend nothing is wrong, yet at the same time, my emotions are not really a good gauge of how I'm feeling (particularly during this time of the month, if you know what I mean). Hmm. That's all I have to say about that (just call me Forrest). How unusual. I didn't really rant. I'm not sure if that's good or bad.

On a less confusing note, I made myself a list of goals for the summer. It's passing at a weird rate. It seems like it's going fast, but looking at the calendar, it really hasn't. *shrug*

Well, these are my goals. Some of them are a bit ambitious. (With special parenthetical commentary based on hindsight.)

1) Get a job (Er...still working on that one)
2) Write Purpose Statement (Heh, that makes sense to no one but me)
3) Start an Oasis Newspaper (Oh, yeah. Forgot about that one)
4) Join and be faithful to Helps ministry (Oh, yeah. Forgot about that one)
5) Redecorate room and keep it clean (Well, I got the clean part)
6) Read at least five new books (Eregon, A Wrinkle in Time, The Wedding, Pride and Prejudice, and one other (suggestions welcome))
7) Write at least one new story and finish one old one (And the award for most likely goal to be achieved goes to...)
8) Learn to play bass, drum set (I need people to leave me alone so I can practice)
9) Memorize Philippians (Actually, this one is more likely to get finished, as I have chapter one and most of chapter two already done :))
10) Make a short film (HA! Oh, sorry...)
11) Restart Blog and keep it (Yay!)

I don't know if I'll actually complete this list. I probably won't. #1 and 2 really need to be done, 6, 7, and 9 will probably happen. 11 is happening, or you wouldn't be reading this. Although, this will probably be the last time I update before I go on vacation next week. I might post something tomorrow, but I can't talk about tomorrow yet, because it would be just my luck if…well, I'll tell you tomorrow. *g*

Well, that about wraps up this rant, as it's late and I need to get up early for Tomorrow *g*.

Until next time,

P.S. I was at the bookstore with Natalie the other day, and she was looking at PSAT or PSAE or PNAA (Please Not Another Acronym) test books, and I found out my vocabulary is not as good as I thought it was. So I'm trying new words. Paucity means scarcity, since I scarcely post.

P.P.S. The thing at the bottom there is the comments thing. I have no clue how it works. If anyone figures it out, let me know. Otherwise, just ignore it. I'm trying to make it work.

Careers, Change, and Comments

Well, it's been quite a while since my last post. I considered completely abandoning this thing, but I kinda like it. And it took way to much time to get the colors just right; I have to use it.

So anyway, school's just finished, and I must say I've changed a bit since August. I wish I had kept up with this so I could actually see that change, but I have nonetheless. I can drive now :). But I think the most significant change has to do with God. I'm a lot more obsessed with him, and a lot less obsessed with other things. I found out, that being obsessed with God is a lot more fun than being obsessed with Star Wars, or Lord of the Rings. It's because God is real. He's always with me, and it's a lot of fun. What can I say? I'm in love!

I decided I want to get a lot done this summer. I don't really have time to be productive during the school year, so I can't really afford to be lazy. But first I have to get a job. I've applied at several places, but haven't gotten any interviews. I need the money for gas and car insurance. I really, really don't want to work at McDonalds....but Dairy Queen is hiring! *Cringe* I think this is why my brain struggles with the concept that school is over; I don't want to sit around and do nothing. Although, I probably will. I'd like to get up early and start doing things right away, but it probably won't happen. (I want Lois and Clark! Aah!) I really should try and exercise or something (ha) especially if I get the job at Krispy Kremes. Oy.

Well I'd better wrap this up; it's starting to get late, and I should go to bed. If anyone is reading this (you're a loser, but I love you) I put in a neat comments dealie. I would very much like to see if it works. *hint, hint, nudge nudge*

Until next time (hopefully soon),
