I just finished...
...watching Rent. It's just over 2 hours long, and I think I've been crying for about an hour. That is one heck of a moving film.

Well, well
I know it's been absolutely forever since I've posted here. Abonimable, is it not? I suspected as much myself, but alas, what was to be done? Anyway, I've been working at Barnes and Noble for coming up on a month. Hard to believe it's been that long already. I mean, I'm beginning to feel very comfortable there, which is great, considering how new jobs can be sometimes. It gets a little tedious at times, you know, but I'm just glad for the job. Speaking of which, I should go get my paycheck... Fridays have become my favorite days.
What else... not a whole lot is happening besides that. I'm apartment-searching. Just the beginnings of it right now because I need to save up enough to be able to pay the security deposit as well as first month's rent, Right now I'm eyeing some efficiencies, which, for those of you who don't know, is basically an apartment without a living room. Or, I should say, the living room and bedroom are all in one. Anyway, they tend to be cheaper, obviously, than a normal 1BR apartment, which is always good, and it's not like I have living room furniture anyway, so why bother? Actually, I was looking at this floor plan for the cutest little loft apartment, but the rent is like $120 more than I was hoping to spend on rent. Of course, that's to be expected. If it wasn't cute, it wouldn't cost that much. We'll see, though. I got all excited about an efficieny that was really cheap, and I went and looked at it, and wouldn't you know, there's a good reason it's that cheap. It was just the grossest place ever.
Well, if there is anyone out there who still reads this, I love you all and keep in touch.

My life is a science fiction flick
Sometimes it's scary to look at our society and realize just how close we are to some of those well-known novels. You know the ones I'm talking about - Brave New World, 1984, Animal Farm, The Giver. Okay, well, more similar to some than others, but you know what I mean. All that swiping of cards and filing of information. Don't get me wrong - I'm not some conspiracy theorist. I can't help but wonder sometimes, though, where it's all heading.
I'm too tired to ruminate further on this subject.

Post I must
So I think my job is going alright. You know, it's going to take a little getting used to because having a job is really like nothing I've ever experienced much before. Working at Whitestone is not even comparable, as I'm sure most know. But I think it will be okay.
Speaking of Whitestone... You know, it's hard to believe that I might never live there again. I don't know, it's just difficult to comprehend. It's like, looking back I realize how I really was an integral part of the community, and now it's almost like a dream. Call that a cliche if you like and you'd probably be right, but nevertheless... I don't know, maybe I'm just suffering from disconnectedness. I do want to go to the April convention in Georgia, but we'll have to see if I can get the money. I hope I can. I'd love to see people. Now I just have to figure out how to find a place to stay there and such. Ah well, it's a while off now.
I really, really, really, really hope I come into a large windfall. I would so love to go to Cornell University - it would be such a miracle. Of course, I have to get accepted, and I'm not sure I have a realistic view of the likelihood of that. And if I do get in, I have to pay for it. That's the clincher. I hope, I really do. I'm thinking that when I do go back to school, here or there, I'm going to double major in astronomy and chemistry. I mean, I like chemistry, it's a slightly more practicle degree, and I've done a bunch already. I really do miss school. I don't particularly like languishing about being lazy, but I have to admit I'm not a fan of going to work, predictable as it is. I like school. Anyway, enough of that.
Well, that's all, I think. I've already waxed more eloquent than I recently have, and I think my readers have outgrown my blog, so this is mostly for me anyway. A shout out to all cool people everywhere.
