Go Down

Selkie

So, it's been a week of no Boyah, and instead of just flatly never coming back, I decided for a few weeks, I would come on weekends sporadically until school starts, then I will probably be gone.

So, I consider this week 1, and I would like to share some useless shit with you guys for no apparent reason.

First, what I have done: I got my very first job. I now work at a popular restaurant in town, and it is a great valve for social interaction, not to mention, when I get my license in a few weeks, I will now be able to afford gas and insurance for my grandparent's car which will soon be mine. Therefore, I will have a car for the start of the new school year.

I bought (for 7 bucks), watched and rewatched and rewatched American Beauty. It basically told me everything I have been feeling for the past few years and brought to light the thoughts I didn't have in focus.

I thought of an idea for a story that I really love and I plan to devote lots of time to it. It is something I really enjoy and therefore will be a great experience.

I went on my trail run and as usual stopped at my favorite lookout, and aside from simply scanning the horizon, I lifted my head up and looked at the sky. it was a clear day so the entire thing was a brilliant blue, and it was so enormous it seemed to engulf me, lift me off of the rocks and lose me in it.


What I have learned:

I learned that I love coming on an internet forum so much because I enjoy sharing my thoughts and ideas about everything, but rarely ever actually share them to people I know personally. So I am going to become more secure socially so that I can communicate better, and i think that will be good.

Also, that I get enjoyment and excitement and memories out of things very simple, and things that most people wouldn't care nearly as much about. Whether or not this is simply because I don't do anything phenomenal ever, it is a trait I can truly appreciate.

And, I discovered the beauty of life outside of the internet. All of it coming into perfect focus around me all at once.

So ya.

I wondered how long it would be until you came back. Leaving the internet never lasts.

But I'm glad you're enjoying what you've done so far.

American Beauty is amazing.
So will you be posting more frequently?

The spy who loves you

Don't leave forever Selkie. :(

Though its nice you're finding happiness elsewhere.

Daddy

I missed you Selkie.  I didn't get to say bye.  :(


What do you do at the restaurant and what kind of restaurant is it?

That's cool.



Why can't you balance out internet and real life? It worked for me.

Ricky Fitts in American Beauty is so hott and amazing. :(
Also I tired to leave on the day you left but I only lasted three days. I'm just going to drastically reduce internet time to like an hour until I get to the point I only need the Internet for cooking or photoshop.

I'VE BEEN ONLINE FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES TODAY powerofone;

Also congratulations for not turning into a worthless bag of shit like JMV. <3

Thats basically my plan to. I'm just gonna come on like once a week or something. Lower my time online.

Also, Ricky reminds me slightly of myself, not looks-wise, but I can see myself recording something like a paper bag flying around and cry while re-watching it.

Wait until you get the car. Trust me you'll be on here a lot less as suddenly everything is within reach.

I know

That's what I am imagining will happen as the time gets closer. It just seems like total freedom to me.

I got really sad during that scene.
Also I thought it was amazing that the girl was stripping infront of him and all he looked at was her face. :(
