Get up and drop the Bombshell

I’m lying here feeling rather detached, like I’m just going through the motions without further intent or designation.

What is all this, I wonder. I have hopes and dreams and no means.

I’m so tired.

I realize I haven’t written in forever. For that I apologise. I’ve been absorbed in the real world, and I fear my attention span has dimmed. I’m rather certain I have ADD by now – I can’t even concentrate on this window and yet it is something I want to do. I miss writing.

I should try to update on where I stand in life. It’s initiation in my fraternity right now, so this week is a particularly busy one. I’m sitting in my CS1050 Constructing Proofs course right now. I’ve never found it particularly interesting. I just can’t concentrate on it. *shrugs*

It began to rain just as I was leaving for class this afternoon, and it’s been pouring and lightning and thunderstorming since. I wish I had some more gadgets, like a video camera and tripod and a better camera. I think time lapse photography is pretty interesting, and I can only imagine what that would look like in the rain…

The biggest thing on my mind is that I need money. I need a job for the summer in Augusta so I can begin saving to furnish an apartment for Cody, Tricia, and myself to live in next fall… I need to afford expensive ring-thing for Tricia down the line so I might as well save now… I want to go to Disneyworld for New Years with Tricia, Patches, and Kiki… I would like a new computer and a new camera, but those come dead last for “things I should save for”. I couldn’t be a waiter in Augusta, though. I can’t remember orders well, and I’d drop everything. I don’t know what else I could be doing in Augusta. Retail? I dunno. I just need a summer job.

SO yeah, if you read between the lines, you see that I’m getting an apartment in Atlanta. Right now the only place Cody and I have looked is the Post Renaissance, but we’re planning to look at more. It’ll be nice and quiet, and moving Trish down here will be an adventure, expensive, but well worth it. Meanwhile, in Augusta, my folks are moving into the home they’re building, and it’s gigantic and beautiful. Everything is going to be different soon… Another “reading between the lines” (not really) was the plan for the four of us (myself, Tricia, Patches, and Kiki) to go to Disneyworld for New Years! I cannot wait – we did the math, and if we stayed at the Walt Disney World Port Orleans – French Quarter resort for a week and each of us had park tickets for a week with Park Hopper passes, it comes up to (split evenly) $660-ish a person. VERY affordable. A bit more if we want to do Cirque Du Soleil’s “La Nouba”, which I want to, but… yeah. :P I’ll be saving money for souvenirs this time. I want the giant beer mug from Epcot’s Germany, among other things. Best of all, we don’t have to do the ridiculous one-night hotel stays before and after the week because Patches has a cousin who we can stay with in Orlando. :)

I bought a book on how to knit when I went to Vanderbilt University one weekend with Nick and Frendahl to visit Lisa, Frendahl’s girlfriend. I hope to find some time over the summer to do that and be good at it. I have both Grandma and Kiki to help me, which is nice. Then I can make gifts instead of buying them, which is ultimately much more heartfelt (to me), not to mention more inexpensive.

I don’t have anything else right now. I’m glad I wrote, but I wish I had more to say. Something more sincere. But I’ll be honest, I’d be very surprised if anyone reads this anymore – especially after the hiatus I accidently took.

Um… yeah. Until next time.
