Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I've lost
Wake me up when September ends
Interesting that today marks the anniversary of a collapse. I am thoughtful, perhaps emo today. If my life were a movie, it would be a little like Spider-Man three perhaps... Venom, the black side of myself. Unfortunately there are no church bells or pipes available to grant my freedom from this foreign, other self.
As a Canadian, I can't say I am still interrupted by thoughts of 9/11, in fact I barely noticed until the LJ entries started rolling in. Rather it is my own disheveled life that makes me moody today. Not as moody as I could have been, though. I sat down at an empty table in Lower Place today and within moments was surrounded by people I knew (first years!) and a new friend - all of whom are going into ballroom dancing in their first year of University, which warms my heart... I took them over to the ballroom signups so Ben could put his name down for it, and then Michael came by, so it's been a good day socially. This morning my Grandma made pancakes, which were syrupy and good.
I am looking forward to Ballroom dancing like crazy. This week is party time central, so there will be no boring moments this weekend, though there will be lots of work at Sears if I stay. I am considering my options at this point, since life is going to be nuts and I want to figure out my priorities. This is a difficult thing to do at the moment. Work and school, food and gas... Or maybe I can't have three out of four to do a really good job? I don't actually know the answer right now.
As the Threadless T-shirt says, "Being vague is almost as fun as doing this other thing." Lots of things are bothering me, but I don't feel like talking about most of them. I saw an icon today, apparently also from Threadless, that said, "Video games have ruined my life. Good thing I have two extra lives." Though video games barely make a dent in my life, for some reason I identify today. It's not the end of the world, it's not over, but it sure does suck.
Off to read Thank You For Smoking outdoors before my next class.
