I feel like I should give you all an update of some sort, but I have none. Nothing entirely interesting, at least. Yet there's been stuff happening the past few days. I'm mostly stuck between stuff. I need to tie up loose projects.
Went to the dentist today. This was followed by an unexpected trip to Evanston Park and the beach by Northwestern. It was quite enjoyable. This train of thought may converge into another post, btw, later.
Not much really to say. Other than the heat for a few points, the weather was fantastic (shifting from gray, overcast to sunny depending on the time of day). I think I'd go crazy without anything other than Illinois weather. We're just so temperate all the time. Though when we do want to go extreme - watch out; the weather then goes all out (Chicago winters FTW!).
Yeah....
Time to tag on random song again. I've just had this stuck in my head the past couple days. It's astounding.
[edit] I just rememered something I had thought of earlier today. I could've saved it for later, but I suppose it fits here. I remember when I was younger, I never knew what the future would be like. I didn't really think that far ahead or I thought it'd be the same as things currently were - unstable and, for the most part, rather dismal. I lacked severe self-awareness when I was younger. I couldn't say it was really happy or sad, just that it was more depressing most of the time. What I couldn't have fathamed was that I'd end up being somewhere I wanted to be and utterly sure of that. I don't know if things are ideal and, if they are, who can say they'll stay that way? But I'm happy. And I'm sure of who I am. And I have at least two people who would support me through life and death and Hell and all the way back. And, to be honest, I wasn't even aware that would one day be possible. GMH

Bleh dentists. I wish the weather here was temperate. We have crazy east coast weather that is constantly changing lol.
I've never seen Rent, but after watching that little bit, I think I may just look into it.
I'm glad to hear you're happy. I guess the unawareness people have as kids can lead to a surprise of realization. And it's always nice to realize you have something good going on.
@NatalieTheSaint - haha, yeah. I was a Freshman last year in college, and my school's located in Massachusetts; so I understand where you're coming from with that East Coast weather. It's like all the same as Illinois - but all the extremes of it.
Rent has its flaws, as a movie. The whole economic message it's trying to sent is slightly naïve and many for our generation tend to totally miss the message and what it's trying to convey about the entire situation with AIDS. But it's definitly worth seeing, nonetheless. Emotionally and musically, it packs the punch.
Well, it doesn't always end up well for everyone. Heh, I'm not that much of an optimist to assume that. But when people tell you the wait is worth it, take a chance on that. There really aren't any other more worthwhile option.
BTW, how've you been as of late? I know I've gleaned a little bit from your pulses, but just wanted to make a better check. Hope everything's alright.
Ahh ok, so you've experienced it. Sometimes I try to explain the weather to people who have never been on the east coast, and I guess they just don't understand lol...
Hah, sadly I think the majority of our generation misses the message in almost everything nowadays.
Oh yes, I am quite the pessimist, so I totally agree. I'm a wishful pessimist though, so like you said, I'm just takin a chance and maybe when everything is said and done, it will be worth it.
I've been ok. I'm a little stressed with my mom's situation and my school's giving me some trouble about next year, but I think it'll all settle down soon. Well, at least that's what I've been telling myself lol. Thanks for asking, dearie
How about you?
@NatalieTheSaint - Heh, well, I meant mostly because the AIDS crisis is so far away and removed from us, but I guess that can be true in cases.
You actually sound a bit like me, however I consider myself an optimistic realist. Sure, it could turn out pretty bad...but it's possible to be pretty awesome as well. Haha, guess you could say we agree, no?
Well, I certainly do hope things turn out well. Your mom's got my best wishes. Myself, I'm pretty good. Still got depression, still financial problems. But, other than the usual, things are pretty great. Should turn out alright. Like I said in my post, I'm where I want to be at the moment. Heh, dunno if it'll last - but I think I'll enjoy it while it does.
Yeah, I would definitely say we agree. I'd like to think I'm optimistic, but I dunno. My cynicism leads to me being a pessimist, and that usually blocks any optimism I have. I've dealt with my own crazy depression, too, and it makes it really hard to be optimistic about certain things. But I try.
And thanks. I hope everything turns out well for you, too. Haha that reminds me of my grandpa. He's always saying to enjoy the things you have, and even when you don't have them anymore, you should take solace in the fact that you remember the good feelings they once brought.
