So yeah, as is often the case I'll start this entry with an apology that it is the first one in such a long time. It's not even that I haven't had much to say, simply that I haven't had the time to say it...or the drive to actually get on my laptop.
Randomness. As I type this entry I am reminded of vanilla scented candles. I don't really like them all that much, but the occasional whiff is satisfying. Right now I feel as if I'm just about to smell one...like it is right in front of me. It makes me think about family. Vanilla scented candles=family. Not quite, but I'm telling it like it is.
I've been fortunate of late to hang out with a lot of great people. Lindsey K is perhaps the most surprising of these. I hung out with her and a lot of other people Friday night. Sorry pool-party peeps. It was a lot of fun for me, running around in a field (we played flashlight tag)...I never do things like that anymore. However, it just surprised me how very kind Lindsey was to me. Apparently, I'm held in rather high regard by her. Frankly, it shocked me to be thought so highly of by a person who almost never hangs out with me. I can't say it was a confidence boost though, because I can't convince it wasn't just the politeness that a great person must possess, but man, it sure made my night.
Today is Benson's birthday...it is also my brother's birthday. What's funny is that his brother's birthday is on my birthday. I would say that we've laughed about this coincidence but I can't recall how he took it. Happy birthday to the both of them anyway.
Speaking of birthdays, mine is on the horizon. Traditionally, I dislike my birthday very much. The past two have been exceptional though, thanks to the efforts of my awesome friends...perhaps my position needs to be reevaluated. We shall see. This year I definitely still want to do something...I mean, I am turning 20. Of course, it isn't 21, but whatever. I'm going to allow myself a small amount of bitterness for still being single at 20 (of course, I'm not quite there yet), but as I told Randy last night, it isn't as if I didn't see it coming.
I was bitten by a large black dog while I was on a walk with Tori Monday. It has caused me an amazing amount of grief for such a small bite. The police, doctors, and many other such creatures have been forced upon me...it isn't even that bad. Better safe than sorry though, I suppose. I'm on amoxicillin, had a tetanus shot, and filed a police report since the attack was near a school and totally unprovoked. The beast jumped halfway over a fence to bite me. Sheesh, if only some other people wanted to get at me so badly!
On a more productive note, as this blog is supposed to present more lofty concepts than my mundane life can provide, I'll emerge from this entry long digression to say something more abstract. That is simply this: over the past few days I have done a good deal of running around just trying to find a reason to be running around. This is a poor way to live one's life. I should try to make something happen directly, not simply drive around half-expecting that whatever I'm hoping for finds me.
Anyway, I'll work on it.
Cheers then. Best wishes.
