I lack creativity with journal names. Poor me.
Anyway, I leave for New York in a week. A bit nervous, as is, and I need to find a ride to the police station so I'll be able to load onto the bus. x_x Maybe my mother will be able to get off work, or a friend will give me a ride. I seriously need to get a car and my license, or at least find some where to practice driving so I could feel comfortable when going to get my license.
Due to financial troubles, I don't know what I'm going to do regarding college... I have until May to pay the deposit, but in order to sign up for classes when I go to Open House in April, it needs to be payed by the 23rd of March. Heh, heck of a lot a scholarship is doing me there. XD I find this as somewhat ironic.
For AP English I had to read Camus'
The Stranger. Surprisingly, I was able to relate to Meursault quite a bit. I thought everyone would, but apparently the majority of the class didn't at all... I believe that I am an absurdist. Upon thinking about a little response-essay I had to do in class yesterday, I came to the conclusion that the only real meaning life has, if any, is that which we give it. When doing my homework on researching Existentialism, absurdism, and Nihilism, I found what I had thought of paralleled that to the Wikipedia definition of absurdism, so there you go. I guess that's why I felt a "connection" (for lack of a better word) with
The Stranger.
I've also come to a few other self-realizations within the past week: 1) my hair, no matter how hard I may try, will not be the pretty, curly, high hair of my sisters. Volumizing only makes it get wider, and scrunching doesn't hold. However, this does not get me down because I want it all cut off anyway. 2) I think my eyes are green. You may think this is silly- "How can she not know what color her eyes are?" My five sisters and father have clear, blue eyes, and I have my mother's eyes, which is a blueish-greenish color that reminds me of the DA layout scheme. I have never gotten a clear answer on their color of being green or blue. During lunch my friends and I got on the subject of eye color, and one told me they were blue, another green/gray... so who knows... I like the idea of having green eyes, so that is what I shall be telling myself they are.

On a lighter note, in April I am going to Raleigh to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show in a theater. I'll be sure to bring my supplies. x) I may attempt dressing up, but that may go beyond my expenses, unless I found something resembling a Transylvanian's garb at the local Goodwill.
On a darker note, the 27th marks the anniversary of Maizie's disappearance. >_<

Anyway, that aside, I hope you enjoy New York
I ended up doing quite a lot of reading around Sartre last year for IB Philosophy and thought that he had the most epic description of more or less what life is like-- got pretty into existentialism myself, eheh. There's something odd about it though. I find that you can both identify with it and then also be very, very deeply scared by it, depending on the sort of mood you're in. Realistic yet terrifically depressing. The idea that there's no goal to our endeavours is liberating and yet totally freaks me out at the same time with the sense that if we make everything in our lives, what's the difference between living your life and just dying? The whole Sisyphus thing is a bit of a depressing answer if you ask me. Much as I would love to fall in love with my own giant rock of punishment D8
Fascinating stuff, though
*kicks Sense & Sensibility*
And your eyes have seemed both green and grey-green the times I've seen them on webcam. :3
Bah, I'm still sorry about Maizie. :[ It's such a crap thing to have happened and I can't express how much I feel for you. It always sucks to lose a friend like that, with no resolve.

Existentialism is very interesting- though apparently the rest of my class doesn't really personify with it like I do.
Haha- I've been meaning to pick up a Jane Austen novel lately, seeing as my mother loves her (I bought her two books for Christmas, though I do not know the titles). However, I can't say how well that will go, as every time (about 4?) I've sat down to watch the movies of Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, I've fallen asleep. xP But it was nice to read something that I could relate to and made sense to me while reading it for once. While the other novels I've read this semester were good books, it was hard to really get into them.

See, that's always what I've thought- they're more green than blue, if anything, yet some people continue to insist that they're blue. O_o

I can just imagine sneaking off with my friend and trying to find his house- "Don't question it! We just have to find it so I can get a picture at the very least!". XD
