Aside from the minor and familiar affliction of eczema, things have been close to perfect.
It's close too 1 AM here, but not quite. I'm lying on my bed with my fathers Netbook computer, concentrating exclusively on the screen, considering all that faces away from it in my room is plastered black with darkness I wasn't quite expecting when I switched off my Xbox and TV.
I took a walk earlier, and the stars were quite clear, at least from what I could see beneath my upwardly restricting toque and hood. I always find myself glancing at the least, or gazing at the most, at the infinite wonder of the stars. I've even caught myself doing it virtually, within detailed video games such as Red Dead Redemption, GTA 4, or the Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. The Elder Scrolls stars I find to be the most fascinating, considering the game itself takes place in another (albeit fictional) world, so it's separate stars and constellations, and from what perspective?
Anyways, as you can tell, this is quite the disjointed blog post. I like it, as it reflects my mood at the moment; tired, with different emotions trying to lodge themselves in me for longer than a few fleeting moments. None of said emotions are bad, in any tragic context; one is optimistic indifference, the others, that come-and-go feeling of missing someone to different degrees as they pop into your mind in different concentrations; a feeling of now; a feeling of general happiness; and a feeling of very slight despair that is mixing distastefully with all of the others.
There are many things I'm looking forward to, however; and I'll admit, one isn't returning to school on the 4th. The biggest thing I'm looking forward to right now, to be honest, is my girlfriends return; but more immediately, New Years, when we here on planet Earth get to ring in a new year of arbitrary labels and time-barriers, which I too get a kick out of recognizing.
I'll be having a few people over that night, and we'll be pulling an all-nighter as to properly welcome the one and only 2011 into our world, and have some fun while were at it.
Anyways, blue planet, I'm going to go read, and then comfortably fall asleep to the sound of nothing. Peace out, and a Happy Holiday to everyone!
