I haven't posted anything in a long time, so I decided I would write something.
I'm home from North Carolina. It was a very fun and exciting trip that brought on a ton of new opportunities for us. I had a great time.
And now I'm home, tired, anxious, not sure what to do with myself. I'm bored. I never really have liked the post-vacation feeling left inside of me. -.-
So now I am left to read my books, maybe do my homework, get on the computer, and continue living my life the way I always do.
Oh, Mik's back! At least there is one exciting thing going on now. Welcome back, Mik!

Dreams?

For some reason I really want to go to the beach. I dreamed about it. It was interesting, although most of it was rather blurry.
I dreamed about a lot of things last night. Most of them only lasted seconds, were only tiny clips until they faded into another part of my dreams.
I must say that none of my dreams were that interesting, there was probably only one that caught my attention. I was driving in the car with mom, and we had passed by a mountain. I recognized the mountain, although I don't know how I recognized it, and I said, "Mom, I want to go to that mountain someday."
My mom looked at me quizzically, since it wasn't that magical of a mountain. "Why, baby?"
"Because I want to see the tree," I said as I looked at where the tree should have been.
She continued driving, we had passed the mountain now. "A tree?"
"Yes." After a moment of silence, I explained, "I dreamed about it. Before I ever saw it. Have you ever had that happen to you? Well, this tree... It must be special, right? If it's real and I know where it is, but I've never seen it? I've seen it in two dreams now. There must be something there...."
My thoughts drifted off into silence, and I sat peacefully in the car while my mom drove. After several minutes' passing, my mom promised me to take me to the tree.

It was a very short clip as well, but I have dreamed about the same location twice. It's probably one of the simplest dreams held dear to me, a simple image of a tree, high up in a mountain, overlooking our lake, with a crystal-clear river running coolly through the mountain.

...But I've never seen it.

Time

In spite of all the things that have happened in my life,
I have learned to get through it.
I don't know how or why,
I just survive it somehow.
It's probably not because of my strength,
Or my intellect,
Or simply me.
I guess it's that even though you feel like the world is going to end,
It keeps going.
It's not going to wait for you or me,
It's honestly not going to wait for anyone.
You just gotta go with it.
Maybe that's how I'm still here, breathing, thinking, living.
And I think that one of the greatest gifts we have
Is time.
How no matter what happens in this world,
The earth still turns,
The birds still sing,
The children still cry.
It doesn't matter what event happens,
It's always going to be going by,
Even when we have no earth to count it on.
It just goes on and on.

Books I want to get.

The Merchant of Death by D.J. MacHale
The Mortal Instruments trilogy
Fire by Kristin Cashore
Unwind by Neal Shusterman
Nobody's Prize by Esther Friesner
Enna Burning by Shannon MacHale
Peter and the Shadow Thieves by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson
Coraline by Neil Gaiman
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
The Wolves in the Walls by Neil Gaiman
MirrorMask by Neil Gaiman

(Yes, Neil Gaiman is amazing and I really need to read more of his books, so.)
Aaaand, that's all I have so far. I'm sure I'll find more that I'll want to read later.

My life update

Well, I have to turn in my math study guide tomorrow and I've only managed to answer 11 questions out of 23 and I don't get any of the rest and I'm kind of stressed :S
Also, we have a science test tomorrow, and the teacher didn't even tell us to study or anything so I'm freaking out. And it's 10:00 and I need to take a shower, finish my math test, study for science, clean a bit of my room, and stuff like that. Ughhh....
Well then.
I wrote the script for the music video today. It's the first draft, it's raw, so I need to go over it again and get the time right and better shots... But I've been meaning to do this for a while so I'm glad I got to do it today.
So yeah, it's exam week, and I'm going to North Carolina in a week. Which is very nice. I'm very excited. It's gonna be fun... So yeah. I'm curious to know what it's like up there. Plus, I got the sudden urge to go to the beach, so hopefully we'll go when we go to NC. So yupp...
Anyways, I think that's all that's going on with me, so I conclude this blog post with this: I am busy and stressed.

I cut mah haaaair!!!

Yes. I finally did it. After months and months of thinking and worrying and wanting and weighing the pros and cons. My hair is gone. Well, most of it. And I love it! It is truly amazing and I'm really satisfied! :D I don't think I'm going to regret cutting my hair later. I really don't. Anyways, not much more to talk about then.
