and the days go by September 21, 2013

Before I answer the question, or even post the question I’m answering, I’m just going to say that they should’ve been more specific. Seriously. How am I supposed to answer such a broad question? I mean, I can…but they still should’ve been more specific.

So the question in…question…is  number 21, How has your life changed over the past year?

….Okay, I obviously wasn’t reading this right. So never mind about the entire first part. I would scratch it all out…but I think I’ll just leave it as a public example of how my smart self is balanced out by…that.

But let’s see…last year this time, it would’ve been almost three months since my mom got re-married to my current-dad.

I can already tell you that a lot of things have changed since then. For one thing, I’m not immediately revolted at the sight of him (I was that kid in all the movies that didn’t like the new step-person, while everyone else did. Somebody should REALLY make a movie out of my life. It’d be interesting). I actually like him now. I don’t have a boyfriend anymore (not diving into details about that). We moved (worst. move. ever.). I found out that I could graduate half a year early (SEE YA SENIORS WOOP)…next year (…and the magic dies. just a little bit).

So a lot of events have happened in the past year. It DEFINITELY wasn’t a year of things I was expecting. I know, that’s life…but I like that it contradicts what I’ve been saying for awhile now.

You see, I’ve recently developed the theory that life is much too laid out. You need to do that, your inevitably going to have to do that, everyone expects that other thing, etc. Then, life throws some curve ball at you. A new person, a move, a death note…you know what I mean. Then you’re suddenly kind of confused. You had half of your life all planned out, but then, your not as sure of yourself. Then money starts to throw itself into the mix. You’ll need more money than you originally thought to fix this and that problem. And then this person is in trouble, and you should probably help them. THEN somebody decides to get sick (okay, not all of this has actually happened to me all out one time…I’m just throwing it out there). So you have all this swirling around, and you still have to worry about your social life and school. Sometimes, you don’t even realize all this is happening until you’re sitting all by yourself at some point, and you start to think about your life, and then, your just like ‘What the [insert whatever word you would normally use]’.

So like I was saying, I like how this year contradicted my theory. Why live a boring, normal, planner filled (ew) life when you can have curve balls thrown at you every couple hours?

Okay, I don’t really want either of those, but you get the point.

i think opinions should be more freely expressed, i’m just saying

So I know this might be strange that I just now figured it out (hey, I’m a late person), but my blog seems kind of frivolous. Only being there because I like to write, or I feel a sudden need to express something. Or just because I’m bored.

And then I turn around, and 20 million other people are using their blog to post all this deep stuff. Deep as in ‘Guys…I figured out the meaning to my life. Let me share my life’s story with you.’

Yes, yes, yes, I know this isn’t the case for everybody. I follow many a blog that has nothing of that sort at ALL. I’m just pointing this out.

Not that I’m going to change what I’m writing, because I think it rightfully expresses what I do and what I think. I think I might just point out that I’m not some random kid that blogs because they’re bored. Okay, that’s a lie. So scratch that. Let’s try that again.

I think I might just point out that I’m not just some random kid that has a blog (much better). Well, I am some random kid…and I have a blog…OK I think I’ll get to the point now.

The POINT is that I do think. And have deep-ish opinions about things. A lot of them. And I have friends who think a lot. And, contrary to popular belief, my life does not revolve around the internet and social media. Sure, my life would be different and much more lonely without it, but the only real reasons I need the computer for is to talk to my best friends who live out of state, and to do school.
