reliable unreliability

i'd hate to say, "i told ya so," but hey, it's been over a month since my last post and i only remembered to post this time because my sister called me and asked, "what the heck happened to your blog?"

so not a lot has happened in the past month or so, except i think i might be getting closer to reaching a decision about my future.

crazy? just a little bit.

but i've been enjoying my screenwriting class a lot, and i've been getting a lot of positive feedback, so it looks like screenwriting is a definite possibility.

also, i managed to scrape an LOL on my last paper for a class called Variations of Love and Literature - story of my life: getting LOLed when attempting to discuss love.

oh, and lastly, my parents randomly gave me permission to take a 10 hour road trip to tennessee for the Bonnaroo Festival. i'm pretty sure it's that test parents give their kids, hoping they'll screw up so that they can use it as reason to deny permission for anything in the future. and i'm pretty sure it'll work.

i can't really believe i'm basically in the final stretch of my first year of college. i also can't believe it's been almost a year since i've been in high school. i'm getting so old. sometimes i also kind of wish i could fastforward about 20 years. maybe to a time where i'm, like, married with a couple of kids with a mortgage and a few oscars on the mantlepiece.

or maybe i'll be in a shack with lots of cats and nothing to show for my fruitless efforts to become a writer except for heaps of aged, yellow paper i have to start using as toilet paper because of my poverty and my fear of going into town and meeting people.

either way, at least i'll have a better idea of how i'm going to end up. this whole "ignorance is bliss" thing is kind of bull shit. so's this whole "follow your dreams."

honestly, the last dream i had was one where i was being chased by faceless people demanding cupcakes.

and i'm pretty sure i'm not going to be a baker.

so that's about it. feel caught up? good.

so long for now.

PS
i voted for obama. and you should, too.
