Ah ha! You can't keep me out forever, blogger. I've finally managed to get back here, even though I did have to ditch Internet Explorer to do so. *sticks tongue out at Bill Gates* Heh. See? I can do something on my computer without you. Just not very much. But I just started a livejournal...and linked it in my profile. Should I keep them both? Perhaps. I'll develop a different personality over there...dude. Seriously, that's a good fuckin' idea. Exercise my creativity to the extreme. A possibility. So, it's 10.17 on a Saturday night, and I'm sitting home, eating lunch, and blogging. Why, Erin, why is this what you're doing? I honestly have no idea, Constant Reader, no idea at all. I might head over to the guys' place in a few minutes, or I might just snuggle down with the one book in my apartment that I haven't read yet, and have Erin-time. It by Henry Turtledove, the book I haven't read, and it's about time-traveling to the height of the Roman Empire. So...there you go. I'm a little bit of a sci-fi reader, but not too much. I do dig time traveling, though. If I could go anywhere...hmm. I think I'd go back to when Brian Boru was the High King of Ireland, and the damn Anglo-Saxons came in and ruined everything. Fight with my ancestors. How cool would that be? What if you die in time travel? I don't really know the rules. Would I still be alive in my own when?
A hypothetical situation (yeah, I know you believe that).
There is a girl, a sophomore in college, and a boy, a damn lucky senior. These two kids meet and hit it off in December. By February, things are at the stage where it's time to choose the path, friends or something more. They have great conversations, because they're both poets and ridiculously smart kids, and these conversations range from serious (family issues, personal fears) to highly absurd (like what to do about the homeless word 'aigch'). They are compatible on all the important issues (religion, politics, thickness of pizza crust) but open enough to not worry about disagreeing (because Tarantino, to some of us, is an asshole). On the surface, things seem ripe to become serious between these two kids, and who would wish them anything but luck? Ah, but Lady Fortune isn't so kind...the boy is moving to California after he graduates in 3 months, while she's planning on being in Indiana for quite some time...at least 5 more years. Three months is clearly not enough time for a relationship to begin and then end for no good reason. The boy ignores this sound reasoning, claims he wants to spend as much time as he can with the girl. The girl has a very breakable heart, and knows this can only end badly for everyone involved. Still, she can't push him away. The friendship they have means far too much for her to stop seeing him. What should she do, though? Give me your thoughts, and I'll pass them on to her.
Okay, I'm heading over to the boys' now. Dance Dance Revolution, anyone????
