Je te rejoins quand je m'endors~

Mais je veux te revoir encore
Où est il
L'autre bout du monde?

You'd think finding the English translations wouldn't be too hard for songs in French, even if it is by a somewhat obscure artist (at least in America). Don't like a million people speak French and English?
Hm.
That might also be why there wouldn't be too many translations easily findable, too, wouldn't it? Ugh.

I've fallen out of the habit of doing so much. The last couple of weeks of school were downright hellish, they were so busy, and so I didn't have time to do so much. Reading, posting, drawing, writing, studying my languages, sleeping, eating, hell, even breathing got hard after a while. I didn't quite realize how bad highschool teachers drop a crap-load of work on you right at the end of it all until they did, in fact, drop a crap-load of work on me right at the end of the school year.
Fortunately, however, I did well on all of it and came out with straight A's for the semester, the lowest being an A-. Joyous~.
So! In efforts to re-gain my hobbies and pastimes, I'm trying to make a concious effort to do them until they become easy for me again. I'm going to try to finish reading The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoyevsky this week (I'm halfway there and once I actually start reading it, I read a lot of it at once), I'm going to try to start making yoga a habit again, I'm posting on this for the first time in a long while (don't worry, Alex. I haven't forgotten you. <3),>

I also need to do my laundry at some point today. I think I will do that after I finish this.

Funny how I use this more as a checklist than an overview of my life sometimes. Seriously, I just wasted three long paragraphs on things I need to do and things I'm having/have had a hard time doing. Weird.

But yes. I haven't forgotten you Alex, and even though I don't always leave a note, I always read your posts. Feel better sometime, okay? You know if you need me you can always find me quite easily. I love you lots, dear. Miss the crazy good times talking to you. We'll have to organize a time to talk and catch up, even if it is only via MSN or what have you.

So, I've been out for about two weeks or so. Well, Thursday will mark my second week off, which means that I will have eleven weeks still to go. I don't really have too much planned; I just know that by August 14th, I'll need to go and get my driver's liscence renewed, but that's not too big of a deal -- Ange and I are going to go down south some time around then, anyway. Going to go down to Louisiana and then hopefully Georgia to look at the colleges I'm interested in. Even though I'm pretty psyched, it's odd to think that I'll graduate in January. I need to get even more obsessive about my grades. D: Oh dear. I might join the Hmong club next year, though. Ha; PaDer is going to be president and she wants me and Deidre to join. It'd be pretty funny; two white people surrounded by tiny Asians.
Ah, Asians. <3>
PaDer's super sweet, though. I love her to bits.

The other day I found myself wondering whether or not it was possible for two people to mutually like each other or if it was, as Sydney put it "X loves Y, Y's just along for the ride." She thinks it's something a bit psychological, since I've never really had many stable relationships around me. I suppose that might be true, and I do know that the most stable relationship that I ever wanted to be even somewhat similar to just ended in divorce, and now he's already trying to get married again to another woman. I was told he wasn't cheating, but he's too lazy to win a girl over the regular way and would instead just rather go to someone else he already knows, as if all he really wants is a woman around to take care of him. In most of the other relationships of the steady sort that I know of, the men don't really appear to do crap but come home from work, sleep, and eat, and I really don't want anything to do with a relationship like that.
So, it's a little bit of an upsetting thought, especially since I really can't think of anyone to use as a role model, besides ficticious couples that seem way too good to be true. According to Mom, my great-great grandparents had a relationship like that, but they were already long gone by the time I came around.
I'm still young though, so none of this really matters. I think I'll cry if I get to be thirty-five and never have been in a relationship before, though. Scary enough, I could see it. I guess I could just convert to Catholicism and join a convent, but I think I'll pass on that option. I like Catholics just fine, but no thanks. But I mean, I know the best comes later in life, but jeez.
I think it mostly bothers me because a lot of people I know are already paired off and even though I know it probably won't work out for them, the phrase does go "it's better to have loved than lost." And even though I haven't been in a legitimate relationship, I know that even if I lost one of my friends, it would be better than to have never known them at all.
Just some thoughts.

I had to make another stupid Facebook for people to keep in touch, as though they don't already have my damned phone number and could just call me. Oh, "social networking." How you turn people into computer and text message potatoes who don't like to talk through anything but their fingers. I can understand it in some cases, like long-distance friendships, but really. It gets ridiculous after a time.

The cottonwood trees have been making it look like it's snowing in 7o degree weather. It's quite humourous, even if snow does traumatize me now.
