So, I haven't posted in a while...I've been busy with getting back to school, and I've been sick. And no one's visited my blog anyways *hangs head*, so I guess it doesn't matter anyways...

You know when people, instead of asking you how you are, or how its going, ask,"How's life treating you?"... that's always bugged me. The phrase should be "how are you treating life". Isnt that the better question? I mean, all the bad stuff is IN life, its not caused by it. How we treat life is the bigger issue. How are we choosing to live? Are we doing the things we want to do? do we make time for the important things? Isnt it how we treat life the thing that determines its quality? We should take some responsibility for our crappy lives, instead of blaming other people and things. The truly happy people make their lives happy; they work at making it that way. We need to get out of our funk and actually live the way we want to. We don't have tpo be doctors and lawyers, and make lots of money if we never get any time to enjoy life. In my opinion, all I'll need/want in life is a library card, a tv with digital cable and a pvr, a roof over my head, and a buspass, and I'll be fine... oh, and a computer...


On to another note, I'm going to France next spring. Its for the 90th anniversary of Vimy Ridge, and I get to be a part of the ceremony and stuff. It will be cool for a history kid like me. I've never been overseas, so I'm looking forward to it...just wanted to let someone know...see ya...

New year, new beginnings

So, today was my first day back to school. It wasn't really a real day, because we only went in to school for about an hour to get our schedules.
It was okay. I used to have long hair, but over the summer i cut it short, for the first time in about 6 years. People seemed to like it.
I'm nervous this year. It's my last year, my final chance to make an impression. When people remember in years to come, they'll remember the version of me from this year.
I'm not the most popular kid. I wouldn't want popularity, it's too much work. I have my friends, a msaller group, but were close. We really only started hanging out a lot last year. We had instant chemistry, and we all thought that we would be great friends forever. Lame, I know. But it worked. At least until we realised that one o the girls that hung out with us was a total bitch, mean to everyone and was only wanting popularity. See, I'm not popular, but I'm well liked. But she's not either, popular or well liked. The other two in our group, a girl and another guy, are popular. And this other girls was only looking for popularity. For me, being popular would be a reason NOT to hang out with them. But they're still my friends.

So this group of friends that last year I thought was wonderful, is almost fully dissolved. And that sucks, because that means I'll have to branch out and find other friends, for the third time since I got to high school.

Though I'm scared to leave the bubble of high school, I still am happy to leave behind the trivialities of it and finally find some true friends. But , who really knows. Maybe I'll get to university and nothing will actually change. Whatever I do, things can always go wrond.
