Believe

This is such the more epic tennis shot than the one they gave me for sports photos! (Curse those fools! They cut out my multi-colored socks!)
Anyway, I have been reading a lot of blogs, articles, and things-that-generally-aren’t-books in the past few days and realizing: they’re just as valuable. I have not had the urge to pick up a novel recently; blogs, poems, Adbusters, National Geographic, and psychology texts like Brain Rules have been filling my radar. Enriching in a completely different way.
…
I think that I’m talking about all this stuff because I haven’t been doing anything out of the ordinary. Other than the wayward dilettante affair with art-planning or lazing about the house, I have really just been playing tennis, going to school, and being the average kid that I am. It’s nice, in some ways, but it also makes me think that what I’m doing in class is meaningless push-around before the exam. Nevertheless, we trudge onward.
Maybe I should just make my all-famous lists.

Things I’m Looking Forward To:
– College
– Graduation (oh! I wrote my speech draft, yay!)
– Getting a Sidekick
– Prom (once all this crazy planning stuff is finalized)
– Intramural all-year-long tennis (I have recently discovered that this sport, which I love, will keep me in shape forever)
– Finishing my college blanket (so huge and warm…)
– Taking apart my room to pack
– All the friends and family coming for graduation
– Growing my fingernails out (which is code for ‘stop biting!’)
– Sewing and crafting and knitting
– Coming back to the earth and the love of God
– Writing my next poem or short story
– You.

Anyway, after this moment of flappery, I think I’m going to do some light bio reading and nod off – another thing I’ve done for the past few days (not exciting, but definitely out of the ordinary) was to sleep in extra-much. I went to bed at 8PM last night and woke up at 3AM because of it. Then I fell back asleep and felt completely refreshed at 5AM when I really did get up. Ah… the strange life ness.
