Ramble on good friend, ramble on.
Here are a few words from me. I think you should know that i ramble a lot. Maybe from time to time i will simply post a story on this page, or maybe my quote of te week (which will probably eventually turn into my quote of the month, or year...), or a new picture.
and today will be a TRUE rambling, because i really haven't got anything to say. i'm really just responding to the smart alec response marianna gave about my last rambling :( aaaanyway. i can't believe my first year of college is over... and what do i have to show for it? pretty much nothing. i've made a few random friends, including Fern and Brandy, and Robin, who i'll definitely miss. One piece of advice i can give you rising college freshman is a piece of information that was given to me by Kerrie Jo Yarnell and i'm passing it down to you: "take about half of what you think you need" this is the truth, let me tell you. it's amazing the amount of crap i've accumulated over the year. i cleaned out some of the keys on my keyboard today, it's truly disgusting under all those keys... sticky, nasty, yuck... i'm gonna miss my room here at the dorm, and this is the last night i'm spending in it...sad! i didn't think about it until just now.
Oh my, a new rambling... and just in time for Thanksgiving? wow. I impress myself sometimes.
so, thanksgiving rolls around, and turkeys are in the oven... i can't help but notice that christmas is basically here (thanks to belks, jcpenny's and all those other consumer overrated stores... not to mention the guys who are selling CHRISTMAS TREES down the street from me... ) for crying out loud, it's not even thanksgiving yet, and people are already buying stuff to tacky up their front yards. please, all i ask is that my neighbor lets her 20 foot illuminated rendition of rudolf and his clan rest this year... i wonder if it will be another year of the same old traditional meal that we usually have... hmmm... lord forbid not have a turkey on thanksgiving. You know, it's holidays like this that make me wish to be ghandi; i know i'll come out of this thanksgiving in perfect condition to play the likeness of st. nicholas this quickly upcoming Christmas.
anyhow, enough of my sinicism for one day. I hope that you all have a most lovely thanksgiving, and i hope your parents don't make you dress up like pilgrims again this year and role play the first thanksgi... um... heh heh...*nervously swallows* nevermind.
and now, something to ponder:
hmmm...
Ok, here are some *GASP* NEW ramblings. Actually, it's only one rather short rambling... you get the idea...
You know how, when you are writing something that you want to sound and appear very plain, but at the same time very powerful, you put a period after it? There's something about that little dot that adds all the strength in the world.
For instance, the simple phrase "I love you" can take on a different meaning as "I love you!!" than it does "I love you."
"I love you." has a certain amount of credibility that "I love you!!" does not. Ok, i'm done with my rambling for this evening. I just thought you might enjoy that random thought i had.
For now, i will just tell you a little about my normal week. Usually i spend about twenty hours a week sleeping, and about that much pondering, brooding, and being generally pensive. Don't ask me why, i have no real idea as to why i am always thinking so much. The uneducated or simple person would tell me that this is really only daydreaming, but let's define daydreaming, shall we? Daydreaming is a state of mind in which one acts out his/her dreams in his/her head. Thinking is totally different. I guess i spend a lot of my time pondering the universe or my future (whichever comes first, usually one spurs the other). Which leads to my next thought, "stream of conciousness". I believe it was S. freud who came up with this concept. Stream of Conciousness is when you are thinking and one thought prompts another, and by the time you finish you have ended with a thought that is completely irrelevant to the thought with which you first started (doesn't make sense? it wouldn't surprise me if it didn't).
Anyway, i have strayed from my reason for creating this page... oh well. Have a picture.
this is a picture of me and one of my best friends, Marianna(is on the left). Marianna is very cool, she likes theater as i do, and she is the person who introduced me to RENT, and for that i will love her forever.
home is where the heart is
