livejournal as a procrastination tool: take one
i stopped about halfway through my vacuuming duties because i realized i would have to move various pieces of furniture around in order to do so. the thing is though, i actually enjoy vacuuming.
sounds strange, i know, but its just like washing dishes.. its an almost completely mindless chore. you can just let your mind wander to the repetitive humming noises of alternately pushing and pulling the vacuum. plus MY vacuum has a "dust sensor" that turns red to indicate dust, and then turns green when you can move onto another patch of carpet. for me, this is an oddly satisfying process.
tomorrow is my open house for graduation, hence the vacuuming duties. for anyone who wants to stop by, its from 2-6. anywho, it should be really lame. also, according to my mom, this get-together is "not about you, sarah, its just FOR you." i'm not sure i really understand that, but then again.. i dont understand most of the things that my mom says at all these days. she's loco. she invited people (like dore) that she KNOWS i have no desire to spend time with. so really, its HER party with HER people.. under the alias of "sarah's open house." whatever. i'll survive it.
im looking forward to sunday though.. im taking my dad to six flags for fathers day! we used to get season passes every year.. but we havent for at least a year.. its been a long time since i last went there and saw my beloved shouka and medusa. so it should be pretty awesome. besides, hanging out with my dad is one of my favorite things to do anyway. adding rollercoasters to the mix will only serve to make it MORE awesome.
but on a serious note:
i can't believe it's been a week since we graduated. summer is already flying by. whoosh. slow down, summer.. let me catch up with you. let me savor this last summer of easy, carefree days. this last summer of dependency on parents, of blissful ignorance.. of pre-adulthood. the summer is shrinking and i'm inside, typing away at a emotionless keyboard listening to "summer skin".. and i can already feel it slipping away. soon enough, we'll be peeling the freckles from our shoulders and starting our new high school graduate lives. we'll be the same people, but we will have been changed. we're all these trembling shooting stars, racing off in new and different directions..we have to get our acts together now. this is the "real world." the structured routine of high school is gone forever.. we're in uncharted territory here.. this, of course, is immensely frightening.. but at the same time is exhilarating. thrilling. new. i feel like i've (well, we all have) been given a chance to start over. the past is behind us. the future is waiting with bated breath for our arrival....
hmm. that was quite the tangent. maybe i shouldn't think too hard about this yet. i still have all summer. besides, i'm not sad. i'm tremendously, indescribably excited about this new beginning..i'm eager to see how my life turns out.
i've just realized something.. interesting. coldplay used to be my absolute favorite band.. but i rarely listen to them anymore. i just don't feel compelled to do so. i think this is a good sign.
it's a new dawn
it's a new day
it's a new life for me
and i'm feelin' good.
