all the lilies on the hill.
November already? 2013 has come and will soon be on its way out. Soon I'll be making Thanksgiving dinner for myself. Soon I'll watch as December 1st comes and goes, as it usually does, and I'll be four and twenty. It sounds pretty heavy. I'm sure the feeling will pass. Something that does feel good, is the sound and feel of the keys as I'm typing this out. It's been a while, maybe I should review the year?
In no particular order, I did the following things:
Played tennis.
Broke up with my boyfriend of almost two years.
Went to Blue Bayou/Dixie Landin'.
Drank the most delicious sweet tea in Lafayette.
Went to the Cajun Heartland State Fair.
Spent the day in Baton Rouge with Mel when he visited from Florida.
Started school again (fingers crossed).
Cried. A lot.
Went to the Cane's summer picnic, and lost at kickball. Again.
Got drunk downtown during Festival International.
Started dating someone.
Took my dad to see the fireworks only to realize we couldn't see them from where we were. We lit our own instead.
Went to Austin City Limits music festival.
Listened to some jazz standards at the Lonely Cricket (aka Bisbano's).
Was awarded a scholarship for school (yes, I'm still going).
Made a year at my second job.
Played Pump It Up with Aaron.
Dressed up as Waluigi at Louisianime with Kitty.
I'm sure I'm missing some very important things but I'm having a hard time remembering things of note. But for now this will do. I'm not really sure if there's anything I'm really trying to say.
I guess since it's November I could talk about some things I'm thankful for. All of the above experiences are things I am thankful for. Whether they sound good or bad, they are all things that continuously shape me as a person and for that I am thankful. I can't hope to know where I'm going right now, but I think I am okay with that. I'm in school and that is really a major step for me. I am still just coasting by, but a hurdle has been cleared. I want to write stories again. I want to find that voice in my head that would just narrate things for me and when I'd get a chance to sit and write for a while, those words just flow out of the end of my pencil, or fingertips. That hasn't happened in a while. I have put all of my stories that I've written onto another blog,
here, and slowly I am reposting them, editing them for clarity (and typos), because originally I wanted to be motivated to attempt NaNoWriMo again, but I have absolutely no original ideas. I'd like to tackle maybe something I've already started, but that isn't in the spirit of the month. It's almost day 4 anyways, which means my word count is already about 5000 behind where it should be to finish in time. I guess we'll have to see what happens.
