Before I start, I just want to say, that all the random links I post in my blogs are safe. You know, the ones that have the purple text that you can click on and go places? None of them take you anyway disgusting, I promise. I know some of you worry about that sort of thing a lot, so yes, you have my word. Nothing icky. now, on to the actual blog.
I'm leaving school in about a week to go home for the summer, and it's made me think a lot about my two lives.
I have a life in Illinois. While I have some friends there, it is primarily a family life. Almost everyone in my family is located in the same general Illinois area. It's a big part of who I am, and I know how very blessed I am to have such a wonderful, loving, and accepting family. My family has always been good to me, and I wouldn't trade them for anyone else in the world.
But then there's my other life. My social life. Almost all my friends live in Ohio, and I can't deny that it's really hard to leave every summer and Christmas knowing that I won't see them for so long. We've been to a lot of high places and low places, but I think it's really all been worth it. This summer I am going home, but next summer I am staying in Ohio, and it's a weird sort of feeling. I've already made the choice not to live with family next year, and what about the future? What if my career takes me out to California? I wouldn't see my family or friends for extended periods of time.
It's something I know I will have to decide eventually. But I think, for now, I'll just take it all one day at a time and see where life takes me.
On a completely unrelated note: Miley Cyrus is not half bad. There, I said it. It's certainly not good, and I will always despise the Hannah Montana persona, but it is reasonably entertaining. To me, it's sort of reminiscent of an early Avril Lavigne, with just a bit more pop thrown in. In the music video for the song "7 Things," I just have to point out how much her eyes pop. Seriously, they are like, supernaturally blue.
Shah.
Thing I like about the past 24 hours: Finishing Watchmen. The book freakin' rocks.
Thing I dislike about the past 24 hours: Being up late working.
Song addiction of the day: "7 Things" by Miley Cyrus. (Seriously, just give it a chance. If you hate it and get angry, I'll give you a cookie. If I can manage to find you.)
Number of caffeinated beverages in the last 24 hours: 0

I will miss you lots and lots. It is cool that you are staying in Ohio next summer. I myself will ironically enough be in California.
