worst weather ever

School. Senior year so far is overwhelming. There is a lot of pressure. Pressure to do your best in classes. Pressure to enjoy this last year with your closest friends before you get scattered. Pressure to go on to amazing things next year. Pressure to know what you're doing with your life. Pressure to be an adult and understand things.

There's a lot going on in my mind these days. I'm not ready for the next phase. At least I don't feel ready. I feel like there's a lot I still need to do. The list never ends.

P-Chem is crazy. Theoretical science blows my mind with how well it can explain such realistic events. I still can't get over the fact that humidity makes air less dense. Insane. In the membrane.

Off to shuffleboard.

I browsed blogs earlier and noticed a few trends:

1. Too many families have blogs. Poeple are posting their daily musings for the world to see. Johnny finally made the football team. I'm so glad we just potty trained Sally and here's how we did it. I wander if people really read about the Smiths and the McAllisters and the Joneses.

2. There are quite a few blogs of olympic athletes with pictures of the games and the medals. That's pretty interesting. It's weird how accessible the games have become.

3. Lots of beautiful (and then semi creepy) photos.

it started out as a feeling, and then grew into a hope.

Once again. Things never change, even when they seem different. Especially when they seem different. I hate that I'm so affected. This shouldn't matter. But it does.

come on bartender...just a little more tender

I think we'll always be in contact. We have been in touch for this long, 15 years. I guess we'll just see how things pan out. Maybe it will work out.

where are the folding funnels?

I went to see the new X-Files movie today. It was alright. It reminded me a lot of earlier episodes, in which the main focus was the actual case. But there was still a fair share of personal drama. I guess Moulder and Scully are together? And what happened with the info that was released in the last film? The global conspiracy? Where do we stand?

Anyway, there was a trailer for this movie, Babylon A.D. Throughout the entire trailer, the only music playing was the title song from Requiem for a Dream. That's all I could think about the entire time I was watching it. It's the exact same song. I don't understand how that's allowed. But I love that music.

I really hope things are different this time. I feel like maybe I deserve it. Maybe. Don't I?
