my age is starting to expose itself.

okay, maybe that's a bit dramatic.

but tonight my sister was doing her homework with her friend over skype. and I was just taken aback by this crazy good idea, a tool that I never got to utilize in middle school.

I guess I just didn't feel ahead of the technology game.
and that made me feel old(er).

I have a feeling that this will happen a lot the next ten years.

see-saw

so sometimes I forget that I have this.
so much for the habit forming.


meanwhile.


See-Saw

up
like a helium balloon
down
into the dirt
opposite
a chum on a wooden plank

when he goes
up
i put him
down
we play for hours
never equal

happy limerick day!

There was an old man of Darjeeling
Who boarded a bus bound for Ealing
It said on the door
`Don't spit on the floor'
So he stood up and spat on the ceiling

sorry that I infringed

so I kindly borrowed a picture I found on google images of a zipper pull for my loverly blog. just a little accent piece. not hurting anyone, but just now I found this in my email box:

which is cool. I mean, I guess I did steal it. but I didn't really think of it as stealing, like today it just seems to be common place to take pictures from anywhere on the internet. and music. and essays. and videos.

never really thought about all this infringement that's going on every second of every day. what does that say about society? ick.

moreover- what does that say about me? yikes.

will I stop? probably not, but it's definitely something to think about.

this isn't just about my blog.

I've been trying to stay consistent lately.

But it's been really hard.

graduation.

so the prospect of leaving high school is becoming increasingly overwhelming lately. I've just become so accustomed to going to that brick building everyday for four years; it's quite comfortable.

but life doesn't let you get comfortable. which is a good thing. but I guess the thing I'm most afraid of is losing all of my friends and people I've gotten to know over the last umpteen years of my life. (yes I realize that because I'm going to Lincoln that half of my friends are coming with me.) but just that feeling of not having the luxury of seeing someone everyday makes me sad.

and I feel like I take each day for granted now, knowing that they are some of my last. my grandmother is having her 55th high school reunion next month. 55 years. that seems so crazy. I try to imagine what my friends will be like in a 55 years and it blows my mind. that is such a long time.

I just forgot where I was going with this, but it seems about done anyway, so.
I hope I make the best of the rest of my time with my peers.
