Being single I’ve decided being single is both a blessing and a curse. I’ve not been a lasting relationship for over a year and my last one only lasted a month. What I miss most though is just curling up on the couch and watching a movie or just talking. Then again there is the fact that with being single there is no one holding you back, no one keeping you from talking to that cute girl across the way. Lately, however, I’ve had a desire for the first of those two arguments. The idea of something that simple, a meaningful conversation, some spooning during a nice relaxing movie, or even an evening of slow dancing sounds great to me right now. Something mellow, romantic, and slow. Right now I could really use an evening or two of comfort. Most of you who know me in person are probably saying “yeah, right” thinking that all I’m really looking for is some action. Well, guess what, your wrong. For being nearly eighteen and a virgin, my wishes are unquestionably rare, but I prefer to revel in the simple things in life. That feeling of comfort, and fortitude that comes over one when they are cuddled up with their significant other – so to speak – appeal to me so much more than carnal acts. Go figure.

Well, not a lot has been going on, though I must thank Kristen for 'dragging' me along Saturday night -- even if I was only meant to be a mediator between you and Jason. It's been quite a while since I've laughed and had as good a time just talking to someone. We’re down to 21 days till graduation. I need opinions people, should I go to prom or not? I’ve no date and no group to go with, but I’ve plenty of people to dance with and who want to see me there. Maybe I’ll make it my new poll… nah. I suppose that if I don’t go, I could take the money that I would have spent and put it towards a birthday present for someone, not going to say who.

Dang you, I'm now hooked on that band Evanesence and that song from Daredevil. :P

Well it’s down to crunch time with prom and I’m still dateless. I was going to ask Digits, but I made an ass of myself the other day when I asked her to call me because I didn’t have time to talk to her right then and there. I quickly followed this by not walking her to class like the gent that I usually am… This was a bad move, and one that I plan never to do again. I think that I’m pretty much over the death of my grandmother, having realized that it was bound to happen eventually. I probably sound like an ass saying this, but it’s the truth. Right now I think that looking after my grandfather is more important than focusing on my loss; you know, that whole make the best of what time you’ve got left sort of thing. We went to the crematory today, it was strange to see that a person who was so full of life had become so cold and well, dead. I miss her, I miss coming home and she was always in her chair knitting or on the computer e-mailing photos, and I miss the smell of her cooking always emanating from their apartment right at meal time. But what’s done is done, like they say “ashes to ashes, dust to dust”.

My grandmother died yesterday at around 11 in the morning. I was on my way home from Louisville, and I'd been reading Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers on the drive; the strange irony is that I'd just reached the chapter of Boromir's burial more specifically the line "Yet we that remain cannot forsake our companions while we have strength left." when I recieved the phone call telling me of her death. I skipped the rest of that book and moved onto The Return of the King . I may not make a entry for a while, not until things are settled here.

It's the middle of spring break, and I already want school to start again; mainly because I graduate in a month and a half. Life has been, well life it could be worse and it could be better. I’ve been very conflicted as of late, because I want to get back into the groove of a relationship, but then again I maybe leaving come July. I’m really pissed off though, Digits thought that I was asking her out, but really I just wanted to get to know her a little better before I asked her to prom. Eh, no big, by not asking her I save a boatload of money and don’t have to put up with the social expectations of another shitty night surrounded by rich preppy assholes. I can’t wait to get out of Roswell, hell I can’t wait to get out of Georgia. I plan to keep in touch with most of my friends here, and now that I think about it I may just stay. My parents want me to as do most of my friends. My dad is helping out with an internship at a multimedia design company, so that should be cool. I’ve heard that Kennesaw and Georgia have fairly decent art programs. I don’t know, it just is not the time for me to decide what I’m going to do with my life, not when there are still so many options.

“And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass
And it's one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean...I guess I should”
-- Counting Crows “Long December”

Okay, I've an apology to make, for the last entry, I was in a crappy mood, and I had no right to go off like I did. The parent free weekend sucked. I got dismissed again, the girl that I asked out was definitely giving off a disinterested vibe yesterday, but all this doesn't much matter to me, spring break is only 3 days away!!!! After that it’s all about graduation, I’ve got to start working harder though, my history grade has seriously slipped, and if I don’t do something about it soon then I’m not going to be walking across that stage in my cap and gown. I’m also a bit taken aback by Kristen’s not caring about my feelings toward her, I am however, very happy that things between us didn’t change. Well, looks like it’s time for class, ciao.
