Without Thoughts...
Seeing as how it is past my 'bedtime' (LOL) and how I'm trying to update simply for the sake of doing so, you will have to forgive this one for inclusive nonsense. I don't really have anything on my mind worth divulging, save the inner intimate processes of an otherworldly relationship.
So....what have I been doing since last heard of? Mostly running full day errands in preparation for my trip in less than a month. Not really wanting to think about things too much but make sure all loose ends are tied up so as to relieve some of that pent up stress. I made a new LJ just for my travel journal. It is blue_dream_iii (taken from my name meaning in Chinese: Lanmengxi.) It won't really be started until around June 15th, or whenever I get myself established in Beijing. I know I'll make it there and back, but the thought still scares me just the same.
Speaking of which, I've been spending the time reliving my childhood and the growing up process, going back through poetry and home movies that time had all but erased from rememberance. Funny how things like that send us sentimentally floating. Made me feel sort of like Napoleon Dynamite's Uncle Rico and his intense desire to relive his past. Sometimes, I think of MECC in things like that. Case in point...I found my old Murder Me Always script while cleaning. It brought me close to tears reading it and reliving it. (SIGH) Those were the best days of my life so far; everything seemed so perfect and peaceful then. But now...?! I also found a fifteen page entry I had written contemplating all I had learned about life and knew I had yet to learn. It dated to a week before I found out I had gotten into UVA or W&M and right during the existentialism debate in philosophy class. Most of the concepts still hold but I can easily see the manifestation of change in my world.
I was trying to think of some of the highlights that I wanted to remember about my years at MECC. But I'm feeling lazy and I need to grab the ZZZs I missed yesterday. Think I'll ponder things and then post tomorrow (or at some unspecified future date). And in the meantime, you all can let me know what YOU think was/is best about the MECCa of our lives.
hmmm. A PSst: A Shout Out to My Main Man for Keeping us Safe when Cyn almost took us over the hill today in the car! :-) But I guess we all have at one time mistaken the brake for the gas.
