It's Good to be Back
Oh, man. Call it beating the system since the school computers now restrict xangas, call it condensing because I'm going to college soon and don't want a different username for everything, or call it... "LJ is just plain better." Any of those work, really. Though I really kind of like that last one. It's just good to be back.
Anyway, I like this new username. I'm happy with it. People always tell me, "You march to the beat of your own drummer," or, "You've just got a different beat going on," or simply the less poetic, "You're weird." So I believe it fits. It's also kind of a reference to Final Fantasy and the fact that I used to take tae kwon do, since a martial artist in Final Fantasy VIII named Zell has a limit break combo called 'Different Beat.' It sounds cool, it fits me, and it references my gamer side... very appropriate, in my opinion!
So, life stuff. My extended family is being extremely rude. Particularly, on my Mom's side. My Dad's side is the weird side, but my Mom's side tends to just be outright rude. For example, we usually spend Christmas day with my Dad's family and Christmas eve with my Mom's. But my maternal grandma wants to SPEND THE NIGHT with us that night. We told her it wasn't fair because we already had these plans made, and she told us about this literally last night. Not to mention, it's horrible rude to my Dad's family. But she pushed and pushed it, and now my Mom feels bad. How ridiculous is that? I've tried so hard to love my family, but it's so hard sometimes. I'll still be nice and all, but once I go to college I do not want to visit them anymore. They're so inconsiderate.
And I'm also kind of bummed because my parents are taking me to Florida over break. I know it sounds nice, but I'm not a beach person. At all. Also, all of my friends in college are coming back, and I'm going to miss them. I mean, it could be worse, I guess, but... it just makes me kind of sad because they're almost all of my best friends, and I never get to see them anymore. Oh well.
And I still need to decide between McDaniel College and Christopher University. :(
On the bright side, Crucible rehearsals are starting on January 9th, and I'm so excited about that! I never imagined I would be cast as Elizabeth Proctor, and it's still not really... sunken in yet. But hopefully it will sometime before Opening Night! Heh.
Despite all of my sadnesses above, I'm in a good mood. I really am. This is just a slight dip in a fairly steady uphill climb. Life is pretty good, I'm in an upbeat mood as of late, and I'm honestly very happy. I have awesome friends and times are good. :D
