Blog ADD! YEAH! ....heh.

I've got to stop dropping off the face of the earth like this. Though I was thinking about it earlier, and I don't think I'd mind moving to the moon once it becomes inhabitable. At least it won't be too crowded. Plus, as my Humanities professor keeps insisting, I really don't want to be a Chinese slave just yet. Maybe the moon will be the last stronghold of hippy humanity. We'll be barefoot in our space suits and smoke organic pot and wear tye-dye shirts that say 'Save the Moon!' instead of 'Save the Earth!'. Poor thing may be past redemption pretty soon, after all. Though I think it's cool that it's all very Firefly-esque, the whole Chinese-taking-over-the-world thing.

(If anyone just understood what I was going on about, then well-done.)

Anyway, like I tried saying in that last paragraph, I think it's kind of stupid of me that I don't have enough discipline to keep a daily journal or blog. I start, and everything is fine, then I just fade away til I decide to start up again. It's like some vicious cycle. Once again, I'm going to try and keep this up. At least then Amy will have some daily reading material (heehee, hi, Amy). No promises, though. And it might not even be a blog entry, perhaps just a poem or a one-liner or something. Though I doubt it will be anything in the creative writing department right now, since I seem to have lost my muses again.

Nothing new going on right now. I never did go to the doctor to see about that suspected mood disorder (which is called 'Seasonal Affective Disorder' or 'SAD', for any of you that are interested...it's actually quite fascinating, some of the things I was reading online.) but my mood is definitely improving now that the season's changing. I think the early Daylight Savings thing was a bit rough on me this week (I couldn't sleep Sunday night, for one thing, though I'm sort of convinced my superstitious self that it's not related to the time change, but something else), and I was grumpy and snappish today, but other then that I'm definitely feeling better. I'm also making more of an effort in not skipping my classes, no matter how pointless and stupid they are (*cough* Stats *cough*). I still don't know where to transfer to, or what I'm going to major in, but I feel a little better about that after talking with Daniel, this guy from my church. He pretty much said I should just take my time with the schooling, not to overwhelm myself, and I'd figure it out eventually. I wasn't too keen on the 'take your time' bit, seeing as I really want to get out of this house soon (my dad is driving me bonkers, and my little brother's not much better most of the time), but maybe once I get my license and a job and some money in the bank, I'll be able to room with someone or something. That should be fun, right?

I'm actually hoping to get my license before the school year is up; I'm a lot more confident in driving (even if I almost did hit another car yesterday, oii), and I think I'll be ready to take the test in May, or possibly as early as next month. Friggen excited.

In other news, since I wasn't able to take the World Religions class I've been wanting to take since last semester, I ransacked my school library's religious section, and wound up with a book on Paganism to launch my learning-by-reading career. It's actually quite good, and I'm learning a lot from it, not just about the practice and beliefs, but also about myself. It's interesting and refreshing to be exposed to different ways of thinking about the Divine and religion in general, and I recommend just spending some time in your local library and browse the section until something catches your eye. You might not agree with it in the end, but I think it's a mark of maturity to be able to learn about and discuss topics like religion objectively, and something more people need to learn how to do.

Hopefully next semester I'll be able to actually take the class; that, and philosophy. I don't know why, but I'm really into that sort of thing. History, too.

...Maybe I should major in one of those.
