End of Week Thoughts, Happenings, My Current Jam, and Other Such Nonsense Pt. 1

My current jam:
“Somewhere Only We Know” by Keane

I’ve decided to try to end every week or so with a post about… Well, anything I guess. I’ll always start the posts with a link to a song that I’ve fallen in love with for the week, and follow that with whatever nonsense is brewing up in my head. So yeah, here’s part one. Woo!

This week wasn’t one of my best. I was incessantly bored, lonely, the works. (And before I get into an emotional rant, let me say that I do realize that this is a public outlet. Anyone with access to the URL could read this at will. Sometimes I tend to lash out and say stuff that I don’t mean when I’m angry or upset about something. This particular moment doesn’t exactly fall under that category; I’m just giving a warning for future references. I don’t need to justify everything that I say because this is MY blog. But, should anyone take offense to it at any time, I do apologize.)

As I was saying, this week kinda sucked. Nothing bad happened. Nothing particularly good happened either. Basically, nothing really happened. I went out with a group of friends once to see the movie If I Stay (God bless you friends, you saved me), and I sat around the house. As a person who is used to a regular routine and healthy social life, sitting around and doing nothing loses its appeal pretty fast. I’m not getting scheduled to work, almost all of my friends were gone or are currently preparing to leave, and my family has been busy doing their own things (working, cross country running, etc.) So pathetic little me sat around and cried and watched way too much TV and pretended that I wasn’t slowly slipping into a lonely insanity whenever my parents were around. I know, pathetic. I’m feeling a little better tonight though. It’s probably the knowledge that my high school band friends are back home, so maybe I’ll get to see my babies soon! (Except for my dear Mellen, she will be galumphing through the Canadian wilderness with her parents. I feel for you, doll.)

It’s probably a huge stretch, but I was talking to my friend and Wesner Show partner Alex about road tripping to Indiana together next summer to watch the DCI Finals in person. This would be so insanely awesome if it really happens. One can hope! Alex is currently marching with MSU’s marching band, and he and I like to spend the occasional late night catching up with each other via text messaging. Talking to him was one of the main highlights of this bleh week.

So on the movie If I Stay: It was actually very heartwarming in its own slightly predictable and very depressing way. I’m not going to say or spoil anything about it (especially the ending because that was a major roller coaster ride of feels and very “HOW DARE YOU?!” inducing) but I think the best part of the entire experience was what took place among our group after the final scene. One of the girls in our group, Katie, cried out, “Why can’t I have a relationship like that?” and Miles (the greatest person you will ever meet) retorts, “Because they don’t exist.” The movie was also, as Miles so eloquently put it, “Too heterosexual.” Our entire group was in fits after this last comment, and we were probably the most obnoxious people in the entire theater. Too funny.

And that wraps up the first of these weekly (or so) updates! Like I said, there’t not much for me to talk about this week. But my classes, along with the rest of my life, start in two weeks, and that should become very interesting very quickly.

Goodnight people of the Internet! Stay golden.
