pieces of grace

Six months is a long time to not have written anything creative, or even remotely interesting (by my standards, at least). I guess that can be taken as a sign of either general laziness or extreme business. Let’s go with the latter, for the sake of my pride. It’s really too bad, because I had at least three somewhat fascinating blog post ideas in mind. One of them, about papayas and their potential for breast enlargement in Asian girls, will probably have to be scrapped, due to a lack of scientific data and possibilities for offensiveness. The other one, about Channing Tatum and his annoying tendency to play uneducated, gangster teens growing up in the streets, should probably saved for a more convenient time when he makes yet another movie just like Fighting, Step Up, A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, and Coach Carter. Let’s hope that time doesn’t come too soon. The third, about ways to keep yourself warm in the winter without a heater in your house, or, perhaps more accurately, a mother who is unwilling to pay the exorbitant heater bills, will have to be reserved for the winter season. I am, however, hoping that in college, I won’t have the same problem.

Now onto important life updates. I graduated from high school. I suppose that’s a rather important milestone, but it doesn’t feel like it. Throughout the week leading up to grad, I kept saying it still hasn’t hit me. And now, a month and a college orientation later, it still hasn’t hit me. Maybe it’s because I know I will still be seeing my friends before the end of the summer. Or maybe it just won’t hit me until I’m actually moving onto campus. I don’t know. Perhaps it’s because I’m just so excited about the whole prospect of college; I’m somehow convinced that it will be way more fun than high school, although all signs are that it’s also going to be way more difficult than high school. If I were to put it on a scale, I would say high school was definitely better than elementary school (although anything would, really), but still a lot of unnecessary blood and tears. I’m just hoping college will just blow high school out of the water, and I have a feeling it will. Definitely, maybe.

Maybe it’s because I’m listening to music and lack the seemingly simple ability to multitask, but I have run out of things to say for now. But don’t worry. I have a particularly large rant on the Twilight movie that I want to write – sometime when I’m not busy being lazy.
