I want to start getting in the habit of writing real journal entries again. That's what I meant to do in the first place, once I got a Tumblr, but Tumblr really has a way of derailing everything. I guess you could always post long journal entries to Tumblr, but it doesn't really feel the same. Like Twitter, Tumblr has a way of making it feel like if you're not posting at certain times or certain things, you're not only ignored but also completely buried, due to its awful archiving system. Livejournal has a lot more permanence to it, it seems.
A quick look through my Friends Page confirms what I already knew; nobody I'm friends with on here is really around anymore. I still have Elena (jedi_iwakura) and Brittany (xolunchbox) on Tumblr, but despite that, and despite trying to involve myself in ICH again, LJ feels a bit like an abandoned town. It's sad and sometimes I imagine attempting some kinda of crazy LJ revival so that everyone will come back. It would never happen or be successful, but I can't help but appreciate how LJ solves so many of Tumblr's problems. But that's for another time. I've (literally) written that essay already.
I can't remember if I went through and friends locked all of my posts on here. I probably did at some point because they're painful to look at, haha. Easy to understand as they belong to my 14-16 year old self, and I'm turning 20 in a few weeks.
This year has flown by so fast. It's hard to imagine that it's been 6 months since Fall Out Boy announced the end of their hiatus. Two months since I saw them live for the first time. One week until I start my last semester before getting my AA. I guess an update on that front: I'm going to school to be an elementary school teacher. Or rather, I'm studying "Childhood Education" which will then, hopefully, lead to a career as an elementary school teacher.
There's a lot of things that scare me about this. I've come to realize over the years that I'm not very creative or innovative. I go with the flow and embrace new things, but it's hard for me to do things of my own accord. Being a leader terrifies me, but, by definition, a teacher's job is to instruct and lead a bunch of kids. Another thing that scares me is that I'm not 100% about this. If you become a teacher you should be super stoked about it, or else you're probably gonna be shitty at it, right?
I don't know guys. It's too late to change course anyway. We'll see how it goes. I'm still extremely interested in linguistics (with a side of sociology/anthropology in terms of how technology has evolved our society and ways of thinking, which, in turn, has evolved language), but it'll have to wait until I can afford to chase a passion instead of something that will allow me to live.
I'm not going to touch on family issues right now so I guess. Uh. I guess I'll end there. I dunno. How do I end these things, again? Do you wanna hang up first? Me? No, you. Okay, okay, I'll ha-
