An Infinite Day

So, I guess since I haven't posted anything lately, I should balance that out with a journal (which, incidentally, seems to be happening more often). I haven't done much lately, since I'm still recovering from all the things from before. But, I did turn 17 the other day andI couldn't have asked for more. It was...casual. Which really is all I ever wanted to. I got to spend time with family and eat great food and enjoy the weather. T'was great. And then, after the day's events, I jumped online to see my friends (YOU GUYS!) and all your wishes. I really am grateful. And a special mention to for her SUPERB work on her gift. I won't forget that Thank you



Besides that, for whatever reason, I decided to leave the house the other day. It was an overcast, cool day, and this doesn't happen every day here in Oklahoma so I took the opportunity to do the things I love most, and enjoy them for myself. First, I went to starbucks, which is the place to be in the Fall especially because of their seasonal drinks. I had extra cash left over from the fair, so I was careless. And it felt nice. I walked outside and sat on the covered area where they had chairs and sat and watched the cars. I never wear scarfs, because I think you have to be able to have a certain 'look' in order to pull it off if you're a guy. But I didn't really care that day. I just wanted to do what I thought would be fun. So I wore the ugliest *and ONLY* scarf I had. And it was nice. When I was through, I drove to the next town over because it's clean, organized and as close to 'fancy-living' as I'll ever get. There, they have my most favorite place in the world; Barnes & Noble. I never get tired of it. So I went, and decided what to read. I love sad, mystery thrilling and cathartic books. With depth and a purpose. So, where better to go than the teen section? Let me just say that I LOATH the teen section. LOATH. It's all sex, drugs, babies, vampires, witches and sex. It's all pathetic. But there I saw "The Perks of Being a Wallflower". I've heard of it before, but never gave it a try. So, I bought it and went to the park and read. It was nice. I stayed there for hours, where I finished it. I was sad and happy. It was awesome. And, as Charlie himself said, I felt infinite that day.

Honestly, the book wasn't all that good. It ended up being sex and drugs, with a little depressed-kid-techniques thrown in. (Jiffy won't stop licking me. If there's any typos, I blame it on her) I like the mood I've been in lately. Have you had that? Where your feelings, ideas and just....everything keeps changing? I hate that. I wish I could stay like this for a while. I know when everything starts changing when my taste in music switches. To best describe my mood, I listen to a lot of Jack Johnson and The XX.

My camera is growling at me from my bag. I can hear her yelling at me for not using her, which I find rather funny. But true. Like I told you, we're working with video cameras at school, so I'm kind of at a plateau with my equipment. Besides, sometimes ya gotta live through these lenses *points to eyes*. I think that's so true. While taking pictures is a blast, sometimes it's just better to relax and enjoy everything without looking through a viewfinder. So that's my excuse. But I promise this won't last forever. I'm on a slow path to my goal for  better camera, which'll hopefully bring a much-needed muse back to me and my work.

Guys. I'm happy.
