I am, to sum it up in one word, amazed. I’m amazed, freaked out, and a little wary at the same time. I just realized how connected everything is now. Well, not really. I Knew that I could conceivably talk to someone in Sydney, Australia with barely five minutes search. Perhaps not a specific person, but at least someone in that place.
This realization, this epiphany, if you will, struck me today whilst I was immensely bored. I was sitting in front of my laptop, wondering what I could do. It occurred to me that I could look at random people’s blogs and tell them anything, even though I had absolutely no connection to them. Mind you I haven’t written anything mean and I don’t plan to. It just seems like such an odd thing to do. Almost like butting into a stranger’s conversation, but not rude.

College will drive me crazy, I know it.

Also, everyone seems to have this burning drive to hook up or tell me they’ve hooked up all of a sudden. All at the same time. This seems to be an unseemly coincidence that I wish had not happened. It feels like a giant practical joke that ends up as a plot to a second rate novel, selling for half price in some giant megastore’s bookbin.

To end on a cheerier note, I get to go with the college choir to present at the open house. I’d rather do a concert with my band any day, but I guess I’ll take what I can get.
Cheers!
