"I don't think I'm having enough fun"
"I should be having more fun," said Sara, sitting next to a large screen, where we were watching, "24 Hour Party People". She looked so dazzling under those Dining Hall lights, I wish I could be with her there again, if just for a moment...
I promise this is the last time I'll post something from my keepsake box. I swear to fucking god. But this thing struck me as pretty awesome, and I thought of what Sara said as I was reading it. (I think it was a social studies assignment or something)

"Resolution
My resolution for this year is to enjoy being 13 years old. I need to do more of the exciting things I did last year, this year.
The importance of this resolution is that everything and everyone is always pointing me ahead. And at one point I need to stop thinking about the future and think about the present. Yes, it is important to always consider the future, but not so much as that you forget that you are a kid and have the time now.
I need to stop and smell the roses (note: this was at a time when that was code for, I need to do more drugs), I need to be a kid; worry about zits not politics, run around a forest not an office, and eat candy for breakfast not bran.
I know I should remember that I have an exciting future ahead of me, and I will. But, why can't I have an exciting childhood too? I am going to live a life knowing that I don't have to worry about kids of my own like me just yet.
I am going to make my teenager, pre-adult, and adult life full of amazing deeds and great fulfillment. And I am definately look at my past with the same pride."
(kinda goddamn incoherent at times, huh?)
Anyway, I think the reason I posted this is because I think we should stop talking about politics all the time, and just talk about zits.
