mostly contented rambling

To my friends list, whom I appear to have been neglecting but love really ~

Life is in a balance at the moment, the present is often crazy and stressful and full of far too many emotions but the future is shiny and appealing. And I've never cared much about the past, because it's not like I can do anything about it.

Present is full of things that would be entirely unexciting to anyone. They're entirely unexciting to ME. Hmm. I'm on a slightly scary Jacobean drama kick and have been sulking at the lack of good tragedies in my school library. John Webster rocks my socks. As do the Barenaked Ladies, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] minkhollow's cunning sneaky plots. You watch out, Jill. I'm composing my own list of songs that worm into your subconscious and never go away.

Future, for purposes of clarity - I have only 43 days of proper school left, then exams, then graduation. I am spending a week in Queensland with my friends (my father had a fit of amazing generosity tonight and agreed to pay for the trip if I pay for my birthday party) and will turn eighteen whilst on holidays. The weekend after I get back I'm throwing my 18th party. Two weeks after that is Christmas, and then New Year's. And then I'm studying science at the Australian National University, moving out of home and housesharing with a friend, and generally making the most of my four glorious undergrad years. After that I plan to go overseas, travel for a while, and do my PhD somewhere in America or England.

It's nice to have a plan, even if you know it's probably going to get disrupted.

Home life is zany but good, and today involved jumping up and down in the kitchen and screaming in both frustration and happiness, driving my brother to Video Ezy and arguing amiably about the action movies we were going to hire, and lying on the couch with parents watching 21 Grams. Watch it. It's amazing.

Not valid for another 54 minutes by the clock as I write this, but as I probably won't see you on the day - the greatest of birthdays to [livejournal.com profile] sanguia! Enjoy your year of Mexican Porn (TM) and good luck with finding your independence and the things you want to achieve. You'll get there. And hey, you're turning the legal age for everything in the legal porn and sex shop capital of the legal prostituition country. What's not to like?

Finally for this evening, a meme that looks like a more personal and thought-provoking exercise than the majority -

Leave a comment with your name if you want to know what I really think of you, and I'll reply and tell you. No lies, all honesty.

Cheers,

Fahye, in not-so-desperate need of a future
