I am SO behind in my Journal. I'm just not depressed enough to really need to write anything these days... I was almost down enough to write a Snippet the other day, but I wasn't near a computer, and couldn't get my hands on any paper, so...

Oh, wait, Country's comming on, that might do the trick... I'll let you know...

so much to write on... The trip to Alyce's, the nature of love, my cousin's wedding, the Magic Tournament, my Room mates for next year...

Saw my cousins, Jim, Paul, and Larry this weekend at the wedding. of course; it was Jim's wedding. He's doing well, and Paul, Uberbrain that he is, is getting his Doctorate in another couple years. Larry's currently in his second year of college, studying a Double Major in Theatre and Music -- Musical Theatre isn't offered at his college, it seems. He's a really cool guy (even if he did grow his hair out -- he very much looks Artsy), and it's a real shame that I've rather lost touch with them. As kids, me and Larry were buddies, and I quite respect him (he's about 6months older than me). He's a cool guy...

And in a related note (no pun intended, I swear! *evil grin*) Only about Ten Days before I go up and see Rachel.  ^_^  Yeah.

Anyways, the Country seems to have given way to Jazz... Alas. Perhapse it'll be really sobering jazz, ne? -laughs- I'm sure I'll write again.

And you know, I really like weddings. I donno, maybe I'm a sap, but the energy that was in that building on friday... the friends and the family and the love... Yeah, i'm a sap...

Not depressed enough to need to write?

That's an odd trap to set for oneself, is it not?

i'm not sure I follow what you mean.

Ah yes, sorry.

We listen to ourselves more often than we think. It seems to me that to tell oneself "I am not depressed enough to need to write" is setting oneself up to either write less or be depressed more.

But, what do I know?

Heh, no, you make sense. it was rather just a tongue-in-cheek reference to my (admittedly perceived) tendency to only write on here when in the throes of some drama or another. I don't mean Write as in creative writing (though my shot at my Snippets may have implied as much); rather, I'm taking steps to writing a series of Short Stories that will, hopefully, attempt to become a novel at some point. There's so little time and so much to do during the summer!  O.o  I'm hoping to do some creative writing in earnest when school starts again. And, if I can find it, maybe take a course or two in creative writing.

Yes, a man with a plan!
