In an Aeroplane over the Sea
I haven't written in awhile. Things have been busy lately. Dancing is picking up speed again, and school is getting busier and busier. Not much out of the ordinary is going on. I've been writing lots. Mostly just for the heck of it. I think it's funny that in the past week I have probably cranked out more fictional creative writing garbage than I have in the past five years. Funny as in freakish. I'm having fun, though. Lately I'd rather be doing that than watching TV or being on the computer or anything.
Tonight I got together with a bunch of my ABJ friends and we watched movies. It was so much fun. A year ago I was pretty convinced that I would never fit in there, that I would never find good friends and that I would spend all of my high school years as an outsider. I think I was wrong about that. Today we laughed and ate crap and watched movies until our stomachs felt like exploding, and it all felt so normal and right, and I didn't even feel weird once. I fit today.
I like that I can have a set of good friends here, and a set of good friends there. I feel pretty lucky that I get to have both like that. I feel pretty lucky for a lot of reasons these days. I think I've been really blessed in my life. I'm really, truly thankful for that.
I am so tired today. Last night I stayed up late writing and watching ER and waiting for my dad to come home from work. And now that it gets light so much earlier, it's really hard to catch that extra hour of sleep in the car/on the bus to school in the morning. I need to get my sorry butt to bed. I have so much to do tomorrow.
My eyelids weigh about a zillion pounds.
