Lines from Britney's song were too inappropriate to use as a title

I do this "thing" where I go through old entries in my blogs and journals and reminisce. I mean, that is what they're there for, n'est-ce pas? Recording our every move and thought. Very meta. And it is that act of browsing through memories past that gets me in the mood to continue documenting my life...bit by boring bit! As it sometimes turns out, the more interesting things in life do not make good blog fodder. I occasionally google my name and usernames to make sure that my name isn't tied to anything embarrassing. What is terrifying about that is how good I am at digging up stuff and connecting my name to different web aliases. How do my searching skills compare to those of others?

I mainly wanted to write about the last entry I put in here. It was a wee bit depressing. I did end up crying during graduation weekend. I never thought I wasn't going to cry (because crying is what I do, yo) but I guess when I wrote that I just couldn't imagine the end-of-Yale situation and thus the end-of-Yale feelings. But they kicked in after that. They led me to become quite fond of Britney's "Till the World Ends" song and video:



You know, because leaving Yale is akin to the world ending. I'm a sucker for last chance nostalgia, as much as I don't want to believe in firsts or seconds or thirds or lasts (as in, why be upset if the first time you went to New York city was a disappointment if you supplant that memory with a future, better experience?).

Although summer has been quite boring at times, it hasn't been not-busy. But for those not-busy, boring times writing here wouldn't be such a bad idea. As Carla and I talked about, writing in a blog helps you focus on brighter and more interesting aspects of recent haps. It can also help improve writing and communication skills...but most importantly it gives you something to do. You can also work out your party stories before hand to have them ship and shape and ready to deploy in awkward social gatherings!
