A huge, wet, sloppy kiss to whoever can guess what show I'm watching as I write this. So, I have the flu, and it really sort of sucks, but I knew I was getting sick and I so often just run myself into the ground anyway. That's me for ya. Other than that...my garden is beautiful. Though it needs to be weeded. It's still pretty, I need to go harvest the spinach. And some of the lettuce needs to be as well. Mmmmmm, salad.
And...uh...I amazingly have nothing to say today really. It's Thursday and hot and sunny outside. I want to go out and have fun...stupid flu.

Yours is a Glorius Sacrifice!
Today is a beautiful day. The sun is out and it's quite hot outside. I love it to say the least, this kind of weather makes me feel good.
Last night I told one of my friends that I don't like it that drinking seems to be the only thing that we do for fun anymore. There's no more random, funny things, we either watch movies, go to Applebee's or drink. I personally don't like who most people are when they are drunk. Everyone being drunk also makes me stress out because then I feel I have to watch out for them. I know someone who would just tell me that I'm being stupid and that I shouldn't care so much and so on and so forth. Let people do what they want. I'm not saying my friends can't drink, I don't mind it once or twice a month, and I don't hate them for doing it, it's an easy way out of boredom. I find that it's more money than it's really worth. Lately, I haven't had enough of that either. I think I need to express this to more of my friends though so that they know how I feel about the whole drinking thing (though by now they probably all know, just because once you tell one, you basically tell them all). I did make them promise that if they are ever drunk and need a ride to call me because if something happened to them I'd have to kill one of us.
Anyway, my garden is doing good. The tomatoes are starting to flower. The spinach and lettuce are almost ready along with the radishes. The pepper plants don't really have anything going for them yet, except a little new growth on top. The beans should sprout within the next 4 or 5 days, and the zuchinni are sprouted and growing. However, my mother's foxglove plant fell over so i had to tie it up to a pole. Now I need to find something else to tie that tomato plant too. hmmmmm....

I'm not a grandpa!
So...Today got a whole lot better when my favorite artist drew the whole cast of Firefly as chibi's. Now I'm watching Firefly and waiting with bated breath for the movie to come out this fall. (Serenity, for those of you not in the know, is the name of the movie). One good question though, is why is Mal (the captain) obsessed with hats? I think that in almost every episode you could find a comment he makes about some kind of hat. Other than that I still feel quite not me. But I am determined to beat it down. I will not feel left behind. Because I am not. So there.
In other news, I had this idea today during math. What if I wrote a storyline for the sequel to Loom, and sent it to George Lucas. Maybe he would consider it now that his precious Star Wars saga is over. I mean, they completely set Loom up for a sequel and then nothing happened it's been 15 years since the original. I think we can still pick it up with a computer game and a PS2 and X-box release. I mean, it was a really good game with a really original story line that had a lot of potential to keep going. How can you just leave that lying there? Maybe he'll sell it to someone who will develope it...no, Loom is his baby, right up there with Star Wars and the less known but well-respected Monkey Island. Which apparently there will be another one of those, sometime in the future, though no time soon. But at least I have that to keep me looking forward to that. I'm wondering when the next Final Fantasy will be as well.
I live for games and movies. So X-men 3 and Serenity are what I'm really looking forward to now. As well as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Of course, there are a few more that I look forward to, though I can't think of them now. Spiderman 3 might be interesting. I hope everyone out there in the www is having a good day. Go on and have a party now!

You'll be Interested in what I found out...
So, I'm beginning to think I know what's wrong lately, with me, that is.
I think that because I'm lacking any real problems with anyone that I'm trying to create them myself. Not so much conciously as unconsciously. You know, little things, like not contributing to conversations when I could. Or just avoiding peoples phone calls and then getting mad when they don't call me. Stupid little stuff that I could entirely do with out. I think it's because I feel ignored. Everyone seems to have someone, but I don't have anyone to talk to about the little things that bug me, so they all just pile up and I'm left with this fuming, steaming mess up inside of me that I don't want. I'm not sure about what I need to do to get rid of it. Maybe I need to take some time to myself, or maybe I need to get really drunk and tell everyone exactly what I think of them. Which might end up badly.
But either way, the new kitten loves junk food, specifically no-bake cookies. Now it's sleeping in Sarah's bed...because it's a crazy kitten and he thinks he's a person. That's what we get for having a weird kitten don't ya know!

The days are numbered...
oh, I have sush fun sitting here, eating sour ice-breakers and watchin Dune the miniseries, not the actual movie. But it's good. Now I'm waiting for it to be over so I can watch Muppet Treasure Island because that is such a good movie. In other news I skipped church today just because I didn't want to get up, so I probably could have gone to that party out at Pt. Roberts the other night, but I didn't really want to, I'd just feel out of place some more and I hate that. I've had this urge to write stories recently, but I don't know what kind of stories. It's hard to decide and some of the stuff that I write seems to come out so juvenile. I despise feeling that my writing is juvenile.
I really should work on my homework, I have some Spanish to do and some Math, but I'm still waiting for Mary to switch her laundry around so that I can wash mine and then take a shower. Right now I feel kind of greasy, and that's not very much fun. College is only going for another 3 weeks, and then I have about 12 days of summer vacation before I go to work at camp. That's gonna be hard, we definitely need to do something in August. I'm considering going on a roadtrip in August. I've discovered that I really want to go to Yellowstone National Park. I mean, it's only about 1000 miles away, it'll only take about $125 in gas to get there, even if gas costs three dollars, and it's a gorgeous place. There are plenty of places to stop along the way that are super cool places. So it would be a lot of fun. That's my evil plan, even if I have to go by myself!

The Little Things
So, the infamous first post. I've never been quite sure what to do with these first posts in the past. But now that I am older and wiser, perhaps I have a better idea. I am at the point in my life where I need to make a decision about what I want to do with the rest of it. Do I want to persue a career in the field of anthropology, which i have a passion for and would be happily satisfied doing for the rest of my life i think, or should i persue something like journalism, which i have more of a love/hate relationship about but I am passionate about is either way (i.e. i either passionately love it or passionately hate it). I am also at the point where most of my friends seem to be wanting to move off in their own directions and settle into little routines with their new found post-highschool boyfriends. I am nowhere near the point where I even wish to settle into some comfortable routine with a boy. It makes me feel further separated from them, and more like they won't understand. This blog is more of a place for me to vent about how different I feel from them in horribly cliched terms and maybe, just maybe express some original thoughts of my own.
This is also kind of a place for me to exercise my writing, I try to make an effort to write everyday, and this will hopefully allow me to keep better track of it and maybe help with some character developement for my stories, and things like that. Also maybe if I write an interesting essay for school I will post it in here. There's a lot of possibilities...meanwhile, here's my summer reading list:
•Lost in the Forest by Sue Miller
•Into Thin Air: A personal account of the Mt. Everest disaster by Jon Krakauer
•The Color of Water: A black man’s tribute to his white mother by James McBride
•Aloft by Chang-Rae Lee
•Sula by toni Morrison
•Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close: A Novel by jonathan safran Foer
•Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
•Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes by Edith Hamilton
•1776 by David Mccullough
•Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life by Ann Lamott
•The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler
•The Peoples History of the United States: 1492-Present by Howard Zim
•My Life by Bill Clinton
•Invisibly man by Ralph Ellison
•The house on mango street by Sandra Cisneros
•Gifted Hands by Ben Carson & Cecil Murphey
•Animal Farm by George Orwell
•On the road by jack Kerouac & Ann Charters
•I Know why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
•The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
•A separate Peace by John Knowles
•Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
•Undaunted courage by Stephen E. Ambrose
•The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho & Alan R. Clarke
So far I've finished The Color of Water and I am now reading Aloft which is a lot harder to get into. The language in it is so caught up in itself and the timeline is hard to follow and it's a lot easier to read an uplifting book like The Color of Water than it is to read a depressing book as Aloft is so far...
That's about all I have to say for now. And it's time to go set up the rest of my blog.
