I am sure I have watched way too much television, so much that my brain is close to going into a comatose state for a day or two. Not that I wouldn't mind being in that state because it might mean I won't have to go to school tomorrow. Now that I think of it, I will probably be in a comatose state tomorrow anyways due to the lack of sleep I will get tonight. I really should go to bed, but I don't feel like it.
Besides watching television all day and putting around on the internet, I went grocery shopping. I biked about 15 minutes or so to the closest WalMart in the new wet, chilly weather we have been introduced to these past few days and got a wet behind because my bike seat soaked up the rain that accumulated in the morning hours. I didn't really care as I walked through WalMart if I had a wet butt or not because, frankly, I was on a hunt to get what I needed and to get the hell out as fast as I could. Shopping for food isn't something I enjoy. Especially when I have to carry it all on my bike, whose tires' air pressure is probably a little too low. It was a slow, wet bike ride home. At least I got out of the house though.
I have come to realize that my social life sucks right now. Really sucks. I need friends to hang out with, people to get me to leave my cave in the basement and experience the things that college kids need to experience, such as drinking too much alcohol and parties and other stuff college kids like to do. Partying sounds like a blast right now because all I've been doing is sitting around in my room and eating too much food when compared to the amount of physical activity I have done (that's a lot of food, mind you). I am willing to do almost anything if it means being out in the real world and not watching my computer screen or television while laying/sitting on my bed.
Oh, what has my life become?
You know what I miss? The mountains. My sister was blessed with the opportunity to go travel in the mountains today and I felt my heart break. All I see here is coulees and even though they are beautiful and amazing in their own way, the mountains captured my heart first. They won't give it back either, the bastards, and cause me pain whenever I travel away from them and lose sight of them. They are probably starting to become covered in snow about now.. so beautiful in their white sheets of cold, wet precipitation. Man, oh, man.
My 18th birthday is coming up. Six more days. I can't wait to go visit home! This city has lost my interest for the moment and the place where my high school days took place has now opened and entered a soft spot in my heart. I can see the mountains there, the leaves there don't blow to the ground as soon as they turn color, but hang on for about a month (the wind here is unbearable at times), the moose frolic right behind the backyard fence and the river gushes not 200 yards from the backyard. I can run on grass-covered trails in the forest on the hill that provides a view-point over the town. The sound of traffic will be significantly decreased and I imagine I won't hear sirens of any kind while I am there. Seriously, though. I am so excited. My birthday probably won't be anything too exciting though. I won't have time to party and go to the bars or anything. It makes me sad because I would love to go out with my friends I went to high school with and partied with at home!
Aww, my friend just told me about her first kiss. I love those stories, they're so cute. She just made my day. Night. Morning.
I really should go to bed. It's too late (or early) to still be up when I have school to go to in the morning.
I must admit, I enjoyed writing this blog and hope I can write more enjoyable blogs in the future.
Good night!
Rachel
