Call me crazy but answering this particular essay question really put me in a philosophical place. All possible puns and/or cliches aside, what is the meaning of life? Ancients used to believe that it was to serve their gods. Many people still believe in man as a servant to a divine being. But obviously, I'm not too into that. So what am I meant to do? I like to think I'm meant to bring people happiness, to give to others and to make some sort of an impact on someone that may help them better their lives. It frustrates me to think of life as insignificant, as the Dragon in Grendel suggests. According to him, everything man does makes no difference in the end--when the apocalypse comes, everything will be destroyed and nothing that we do now will mean anything. It's so depressing, no? But at the same time, the Dragon does say that our world is only "a ripple in Time's stream". The earth is about 4.6 billion years old. My lifetime is such a small part of that. It's mind blowing when you get into all of that stuff. The universe's vastness--how insignificant we really might be in the grand scheme of things. For some reason I'm reminded of Monty Python. Hm. *Ponder, ponder.*

My room is a HUGE mess. I'm SO tired. I am going to FAIL this physics test tomorrow. I've already got a case of the Mondays. Fucking Mondays. I'm so stressed out its not even funny.

And as far as the LL goes: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I think I'm going to wait until the end of junior year, no matter how badly I don't want to, to even look at a guy like that. Even though I saw this really cute guy working at Starbucks today in B&N...he had the cutest smile and I felt one of those connection thingies. If it had been another time and maybe if I was another person, I so would've said something to him. haha. I'm such a nervous wreck when it comes to guys. haha.

That is all. <3
