A Day About Nothing

Really. And I'm rather content with that. Like wide, mellodramatic ripples in a pond, so does misc. crap still seem to rock our little Henry Hall community. For right now, Sam's possibly getting fired and feeling all around depressed--I guess it's his turn? eh. I'm feeling amorphous or normal, I can't tell, which is probably a clue I'm not normal. Somehow, I don't think I was or ever will be.

What do I wish I was doing? I wish I was off on vacation somewhere, running around doing frivolous things, exploring strange streets, eating treat-food. Just away from all of this. Well, not all of this. Just enough so that I could enjoy those other parts without worrying about how it will affect other people. I would just like to live. Enjoy life in all its absurdity, as fate suddenly dropped its interest in me and gave me a break. I wish it could be summer-weather, so I could wander around Hiram at night and not feel cold. It looks like I will get to go to Hawaii for my internship at the Kewalo Marine Lab (www.kewalo.hawaii.edu) although I may be waiting tables all summer to do it. Here's hoping, because if I ever needed a vacation, it was now.
