I Needed It.
Yes, I'm alive. Yes, I'm surprised too. Yes, I seriously underestimated the staying power of senior year. In 17 days, my high school career is over, but they promise to be 17 of the worst days of my life. It's coo', I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. A massive picture post is coming when I get two seconds to breathe, and if I don't get it up before this weekend, then it'll include prom pictures too.

There's Nothing Wrong With Ohio
Oh hell yes.
Bowling for Soup and American Hi-Fi. Blue Cats. Sunday night. It was a beautiful thing. A loud, but beautiful, thing. It rocked my socks off (and I wasn't even wearing socks). More pictures later.

You know, for all the random numbers that I remember, I have a really bad head for dates. But, I do have a freakish attachment to my movie ticket stubs, stemming from the days not-so-long-ago that Mother would insist upon seeing the stub before she believed that I'd actually gone to the movie. They're scattered all over my room - in wallets, on tables, used as bookmarks, and on the bulletin board. I just happened to notice one today that's stuck around the edge of my mirror, and noticed it was from exactly a year ago. When I saw the name of the movie, I realized what it was from. The world shifted on its axis a year ago, when a couple of people decided that they could get beyond first impressions, gossip and years of annoyance to give someone else another chance, and they became better people for it. Neither of them found exactly what they were expecting to or hoping to, but it was that they even made the attempt that was the remarkable part. It truly is something to be remembered, and maybe the next time I give my mirror a second glance, I'll think of it again. Because I'm still so very proud of those people, for trying.
The earth is back on its regularly scheduled orbit now, of course, but it was nice to escape for a while.
