Fluff Post

Alright, so I feel like I ought to do an actual, decent update, but I'm not quite sure what to write about. Of course, as a result, I've opted to go ahead and just have mental vomit all over this explorer window. Sadly, I still have no idea what to write about, so it's going to be completely random.

Lately, I've been thinking about all the weird turns that my life has taken over the years. I've been thinking about all of the unexpected turns that my life has taken that I never saw coming. For example, I never thought I'd be married. Needless to say, it's kind of mind-blowing to think that I've been married for several years. I never thought that I'd be in college, so it's really strange for me to be embarking on my third year in higher education. I thought that my life would be so different. I thought I'd be alone and working and doing my own thing.

What else? My husband and I are watching Hal Sparks doing stand-up comedy. I must say, he's hilarious! He has wonderful, logical points about iced tea, medium cups, and being a non-smoker. I've always liked Hal Sparks, but I'm pretty sure that I love him even more now!

I'm trying to read more, but I've been terribly distracted lately. I'm trying to do some work, but I'm obviously too distracted for that too. I managed to write a poem that I was satisfied with for once, but that's about the only think of artistic value that I have created this far into the summer. Normally, I'd say that I'd like to do something more artistic, something that has some kind of redeeming quality or makes me seem or feel creative. But what would I do? I can't paint or draw. I'm not really a great writer. I'm not really a poet. I'm not good with my hands or much else. So what the hell kind of art or creativity is there for someone that can't actually do anything?! Someone give me some ideas! Jesus!

This is honestly been one of the least productive summers of my life. I haven't read. I've hardly worked. I don't really even have much to show for it. I don't have a regular sleep schedule, so I'm not really even getting all that much rest. The whole point of me taking this summer off was to get some rest and get myself re-set. I'm not even doing that, which makes me wonder why I even bothered. At least I could have gotten some school out of the way. Jeez!
