AHOY!

It’s been too long, it really has.  I hope all of you have held up okay.  I guess I’ll update you a little on life.

SENIOR TRIP! was really fun actually, moreso than I was expecting.  And like, unlike with many other highly advertised things, Disney World is just as magical and impressive as it is made out to be in all of the rampant Disney propaganda.  I was so ENCHANTED the whole time I was there, seriously, I just felt like I was in this magical other world.  And everyone kept making fun of me because like, blahblahblah they vacationed in Disney World since they were zero years old while I was holed up in like a one-room shorehouse with the fam, but WHATEVER GUYS, I still enjoyed it so much.  The only drawbacks to the trip were that I didn’t really get tan (what. the fuck. people were like freaking out the whole time about how one hour in FL sunlight equals six hours in PA or some shit, but my pasty white complexion BEGS TO DIFFER.  I didn’t even wear a drop of sunscreen.) and also the ice in Disney World is like gross and weirdly shaped.  Instead of delicious, clear square chips, it was like weird cloudy cylindrical rods.  Really bizarre, I did not approve.  Other than that though, overall a wonderful trip.

omg SCHOOL. I’ve just totally stopped doing it.  Nothing to report.

I have a new FRECKLE which is momentous, and which brings my grand freckle quota up to 13.

I had some people over my house last night, which I haven’t done for a while.  It was an odd mix and I thought it might suck, but it ended up being really fun (for me….everyone else, idk.) and I was quite pleased with how like, not-that-odd the mix ended up being. 

OH MY GOD so I have come to a majorly stunning realization.  And I want to just blurt it out, but it involves me realizing something that I didn’t think was even possible, and now that I have officially REALIZED it I am like depressed because I should have realized it sooner, I think.  So frustrating!

Ugghh I am dyyyyying for a book to read.  Now that I have 100% abandoned school work, I have all this free reading time and I NEED something good to read.  I went to the school library like forty times this week because I kept forgetting about the art show, and all the shelves were trapped behind the styrofoam and I couldn’t even get to any books.  It got to the point where, last night after work, I had to reread the first Princess Diaries book.  Which is pathetic because I have read that like eleven times, and I’ve been trying to move onward and upward from my lame pink girly books.  Not to say that The Princess Diaries are lame, because they’re really not, they’re tremendous.  I just feel that I am moving beyond them at this point in my life.  BUT!!!!!!! While I was reading it, I REALIZED that Mia Thermopolis is the source of my CAPITAL LETTERS HABIT!!!!!!!  She does it all the time.  And I’ve been reading those books for so long that I guess I’ve adopted her exuberant captial style.  Very interesting.  In fact, Mia Thermopolis has really just had a gigantic influence on my life in general.  I really identify with her better than with anyone else I know, and other than the fact that she is a socially-impaired, vegan, only-child PRINCESS, we are practically the same person.  But anyway as much as I love her, it is high fucking time that I got some new books.  But I’m not hating on the art show at all for blocking them from me, because the art show was MAGNIFICENT!!!!!!!  I am so proud of my friends and quasi-friends and people I hardly know and EVERYONE who had stuff in it, because it was just so wonderful and beautiful and impressive that I couldn’t even handle it.

Oh gosh so they’ve finally started cranking out Sweeney Todd dvds, and I watched it this weekend and like…AHHH.  I was so disappointed.  It’s really staggering how different the recording is from the actual thing.  At least I HOPE it’s different, because if it’s not then like….we all sucked pretty hard.  Jk you can still tell that it was good, it’s just like, very distant when you watch the recording. 

Aaaaanyway.  In other news, I LIKE someone.  Totally new and unexpected!!! Well…I think it’s unexpected.  It’s not even a big deal and nothing will probably come of it, but it is iiiinteresting. 

So I have been doing a lot of reminiscing lately.  Probably because it’s like, that time in life where you realize just how bloody fast time really goes, where one minute you’re terrified to climb onto the school bus for the first time, and the next minute you’re trying to stamp everything about high school permanently into your memory before it all dissolves away in a flurry of flying grad caps and confetti.  And like, in my reminiscing I am just noticing how INTENSE life is, and so full of people and events and experiences that like, it makes me want to cry.  Because I know I can never remember all of these things, or hold on to all these people, and one day in like seventy years I am going to be chilling on my back patio smoking dogies with my old-but-still-pretty-handsome husband, and I’m not even going to REMEMBER my full and wonderful and fun life as a high schooler!  I’m going to be so distracted by my creaky joints and lack of retirement money that like, all these exhilirating and and beautiful memories won’t even fit in my head anymore.  It’s just an awful thought.  But at least now I am REALIZING how good my life is I guess, so it won’t go entirely unappreciated.

SIGHHH.

Well anyway I have work in like 20 minutes, so I gotta go get into my Panera Garb and braid my hair.  But it was nice checking in!  Enjoy your rainy Sunday.
