Grey days are wonderful (yeah, that's right, I just spelled it with an "e")
Well, I'm a year older now however, I think I've regressed a year in wisdom (I thought I'd get that out now so no one got their hopes up.) I am officially nineteen as of 4:00 this morning. Luckily, I was still up at the time, but I think I was drifting to sleep since I thought five and a half hours was pushing it for sleep. Woot, I can go to bars now... not that they really hold any appeal to me, but it's the thought that counts.
So, I promised myself I would post on my birthday since I needed an excuse to take initiative and do it... Sorry, I'm having a middle school moment right now. I'm listening to "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus now and it's slowly ressurecting my bleeding heart.
Life is treaing me very well right now. I did have a rough time waking up and staying awake today - Lissy will vouch I fell asleep about ten times during my bio lecture. However, I'm doing better now, especially after I got mail. My parents and my grandma sent me Birthday cards which were a lot of fun, and my sister, Kelcey, sent me my favorite mug ever! It's white with the bill of rights printed on the side and when you put hot liquid in it the script disappears!
In other news, I finished writing a short story the other day that I'm fairly proud of. It isn't great, but I had a lot of fun writing it and it seemed to pass the workshop stage fairly well. Looking back on it, I feel like I've acccomplished a lot as far as writing goes. The week before last I wrote a 38 page play on a whim, I just finished the short story, I have several new ideas and I've been turning out a lot of ten minute plays. So far, I think this year has improved my writing dramatically. Granted, I don't think I'll ever be a GREAT writer, but I will settle for being a good story teller. In fact, I would prefer that.
On that note, I DESPISE post modernism! God damn you literary pretentious ass holes! Sorry, just been reading too much meta-fiction in the American Short Story.
Three days ago Anna and I celebrated our six month anniversary. We went out to eat, bummed and spent time with people. Doesn't sound like much but it was a wonderful evening. I am ridiculously lucky.
I told my parents not to get it for me, but I'm secretly hoping they buy me Kingdom Hearts II for my birhtday. Yeah, I kind of just need something light and fluffy to do for a while. This year has been the best year of my life (seriously)... but I really need to relax for a good month or two. I have learned SO much from the classes I've been taking and I think I've grown as a writer and person (jesus that's corny) and, as masochistic as it sounds, I liked the work load... but I really need a break. Time to curl up with a good video game, book or significant other would be wonderful.
Moral of the story my life is really working out for me.
So, now I should be going, but I will make an honest effort to write more (please no one hold me to that).
Take care all!
