BlogthingsJohn's Xanga diary got me hooked on these little key bits of assorted factoids.| Your Brain is 46.67% Female, 53.33% Male | Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female
You are both sensitive and savvy
Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed
But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve |
| You Belong in the USA |  Sweet!
People either love you or hate you
And you really don't care what anyone thinks
Big and bold, you do things your way |
| You Belong in 1967 | | 1967If you scored... 1950 - 1959: You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in! 1960 - 1969: You are a free spirit with a huge heart. Love, peace, and happiness rule - oh, and drugs too. 1970 - 1979: Bold and brash, you take life by the horns. Whether you're partying or protesting, you give it your all! 1980 - 1989: Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day. 1990 - 1999: With you anything goes! You're grunge one day, ghetto fabulous the next. It's all good! |
| You Are 25 Years Old | | 25Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax. |

An All Too Static ExistenceWell, my friend John wanted me to update, so here it is. If this break home has taught me anything, it's that my efforts to freeze my life in it's tracks have been more successful than I could have hoped. This fact is not paying off the dividends that I'd imagined, however, because the world around me has kept moving.
On a spur of the moment thing, I went out to the movies with two of my friends from high school, Ryan and Kate. They were still very recognizable as they people I'd spent time with, but the experience - both that night and the following one at my house until five AM - showed me exactly how much the world can move when you're not keeping pace. They couldn't wait to get back to school - they had lives waiting for them there. I have spent my past span of weeks waiting to jumpstart my life again on visits home. It is only now that I realize how drastic a mistake this may prove to be.
I mean, what have I risked? What have I tried? How have I expanded myself? I let myself sink into the old cliches of who I am and what I'm doing and meanwhile, I have achieved literally no milestones during my time at R.I.T. I am afraid of leaving R.I.T. because it will mean letting go of what connections and bonds I have made there. And yet, when I compare them to high school, they are meager and frail and half-hearted in comparison. I need to feel like those months I've spent are leading me towards someplace.
For the first time in my life, I'm not scrambling to put on the brakes. I can only hope it's not too late to regain my momentum.
