Man

I should update this more.  I guess I never really had to do something like this before, so I find myslf not caring enough to.  Finally had my taste of college drinking... never mind the fact that it was only me!  Strange to say, but it didn't really matter as much as I'd thought. Least I got the partying urge out of me so now I won't ever care again... it wasn't healthy for that to be bringing me down and bein' all depressing.

My parents are coming for Homecoming weekend.  Time to put on a smile and dodge any questions about if I like the school.  Love my professors but haven't really connected with people on a level that I'd like.

Oh, and my friend from home told me to stop talking to him for awhile because I was starting to annoy him.  Jesus.  You don't swear to brotherhood and then just decide that I'm not worth it.  I mean I guess you're busy, I understand, but... oh well. Whatever. Nevermind. He's probably right.

Wish I knew how to change the color of the titles. Oh well.

Listening to: Tonight's the Night - Neil Young. What an album.

Two Weeks Later

...well, nearly.  I'm updating for the sake of updating.  Not much is new.  Like my classes, my roomie brought his N64 which is the best, and I have my phone back.  I went home last weekend, mainly because I was invited because of a power outage.  You never really get homesick until you realize you have the option to go home.  Glad I did, though - I'm back and in full swing!  I may even actually be able to knuckle down and do my work now.

No title because today was of no real importance.

Since it was Labor Day, I had no classes.  I struggled a VERY long time with my response to a poem, because I blanked on literary devices. And I can't focus right now since it's the beginning of school.  I'd bet most people have to deal with these problems right at the start of college.

I have friends!  I'm just a little out of the loop without my phone right now.  I tried to meet them for dinner but that didn't work out; so I went by myself to the dining hall, and when I finished I found them!  We went to watch the Sea World fireworks, which were AMAZING.  And almost played Mario Party.  Another time.

There is something missing in this blog, I feel like each entry should be of monumental importance or at least have some sort of literary wit.  Here's hoping I get a style going soon.

So

I had a dream the other night in which I went camping with my grandfather and his second wife, Jane.  Jane died when I was only three, so I really don't remember her - but Al* passed only four years ago.  It's a very strange thing to think about for me, because I was never close with Jane and as far as I know she never really cared for kids.  There's not a thing in the world that could give me a clue as to why I would have this dream now.  What is perhaps the strangest is that this dream was... coherent.  I think I was aware it was a dream, but this one sequence wasn't very surreal at all.  Suddenly, I was living this trip.  Bet it would've been a fun one even today, if it really happened; however, Al hated the great outdoors anyway.  Meh.

Oh and also I found out my parents lied to me about why my mother has been sick and that she did, in fact, drink out her liver.  Happy days, everybody.

Man, my writing sucks.  Maybe this blog can help improve it a tiny bit.

*I picked up calling my grandfather by his first name from my father, please don't take this as overly disrespectful to a man resting in peace.
