This weekend was pleasantly low-key, I mostly hung out with my Mom because my Dad and younger brother are out of town. Last night, I watched Pride and Prejudice with my Mom.. it was lovely although sad until almost the end. I had heard (from the word on the street yo), that P+P was one giant festival of crying but really the only moment in the movie where I had tears in my eyes was when Lizzy is talking to her father after Mr. Darcy proposes and her father says, "I wouldn't part with you for anyone less."
In the same vein of having intense emotional reactions to things which are pretend, I am currently reading Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. It is an amazing book, although I find myself tearing up almost every other page.
Anyways, I find (because apparently today is melancholy/emo livejournal entry day) that in recent time I have spent a lot of my energy pondering the gaping void known as the future. I am actually sort of scared, in that I only sort of know what comes next.... unlike my entire life prior which has been somewhat predictable. At the same time, it is kind of exciting.

PS) In random news, our computer monitor is rather tie-dyed/psychadelic looking these days... I think it's a problem.
