Updates
I still live! Though not everyone around me will continue on in life. :( More on that later.
It's been forever since I've updates this blog; I've been so busy! My life has been going very well until recently, and I've been quite busy!
The other day I was involved in a social situation with a large number of German people, and they decided (of course) to stroll into a bar. I didn't want to seem like a party pooper, so I followed them in there. I sat down next to my friend Seth and ordered (what else) WATER! Since the beginning of the water, I've only been drinking water and milk, and I didn't want to break the streak. ^.^ Seth called me a "cheap bastard." Indeed.
So this young woman sits down right by me, and we begin to converse. She was pretty, but in a conventional way. You know, wearing a bit of make up and wearing a low-cut tank top to show off her cleavage. She was a Hollywood-type blonde. So in the middle of our boring conversation (to me), I realized that she was hitting on me a bit. She kept on talking about how she broke up with her boyfriend recently and is now coping with being single. She suggested that we go dance, but I actually declined (I am NOT a dancer, but it would be nice to learn in a comfortable environment). No biggie to her...she then invited me to go camping with her in the Texas Hill Country despite the fact that I didn't know her AT ALL. And to put icing on the cake, SHE asked for my phone number, not the other way around.
But even though she's a really pretty girl, I was not at all interested. She just seemed...empty. There was no potential for us to have great conversations, and to me, that is absolutely essential. I have no interest in women that don't stimulate my mind, no matter how hot they may be. I was just surprised that a "hot" woman was putting the moves on me a bit. I suppose anything is possible, hahaha.
Creative writing is a lot of fun. My teacher and the class enjoyed my short story a great deal, and I am currently working on a revision of it. Once it's finished, I hope to send it off to the campus literary magazine for publication. There's no guarantee that it will be printed, but it's worth a shot. Writing has greatly improved the quality of my life!
Sadly, my grandfather is dying. He has terminal cancer, and it looks as though he won't make it one more month. I'm going to go see him tomorrow. It's weird, despite the fact that I've known him all my life, I don't feel as though I really know him. We are vastly different people with vastly different views, and I have always felt uncomfortable in his presence because of that. But I do love him, so I hope that we can have a few more good moments together before he passes on.
Wow, this post was random, and I'm tired, so I'll have to end it there. Perhaps I'll update more often!

About time! Sorry to hear about your grandad - I hope he is not distressed or uncomfortable.
Was she drunk? Maybe if she was sober she would be better to converse with? I have a theory that you are an alien living in Scott's body.

Thanks for your concern about my grandfather. It's not looking so well for him--the doctors just found nine more spots of cancer in his liver. His health rapidly deteriorating, so it looks as though he does not have much time left. I'm going to try my best to see him in the next few days.
As for that girl...I don't know if she was drunk. She only had one drink, and I don't know if that was enough for intoxication. With some people it is. But unfortunately, I don't think that it matters what mental state she was in--there simply wasn't much to her. I'm not saying that she is stupid; I am saying that she does not use the brainpower that she has and THINKS. It's really hard to meet intelligent women that don't drink in my little corner of the planet, but the fact that women like you exist gives me hope that it is possible to find one!
Yes, I am an alien living in Scott's body. I was actually thinking about this a few days ago; I am not the same person that I was even a year ago. I have all of Scott's memories, but I don't react to things the same as he did. Perhaps it's a sign that I'm growing up.
