=(
I don't know why I keep thinking it's a good idea. Because every time I go through with it, thinking things will be different, they clearly aren't.
Not gonna lie, as awesome as this year has been for me, I kind of wish I could rewind everything and start over. The sad thing is - I'd probably end up changing nothing and doing it all over again.

I'm building a sill to slow down the time
10 random quirks about yours truly: in which you can learn more about me than you probably want to! :D
1) I love penguins. Come to my room sometime, it's like "where's Waldo?" except with penguins. Then you can meet Pinguino (if you haven't already)! :D
2) I always write "grey" instead of "gray." It's just a thing. I think it looks nicer with the 'e.' :]
3) I don't walk normally, I shuffle. I only just noticed it a few years ago, too. Consequently, people can always tell when I'm approaching and the bottoms of my shoes get worn down pretty fast.
4) I'm slightly OCD abouteverything changing the volume on the television. It always has to be an even number. Yeah...I don't even know.
5) I prefer verbalizing the word "sigh" over actually sighing. (And "weep.") If you've been around me enough, I'm sure you've noticed it and/or been annoyed by it. :P
6) I have a terrible sense of direction. This is why I never know how to get to places. If I've never physically driven or walked/traveled there myself, chances are I don't know how to get there. I still don't know how to get to the Point church from Douglass, for instance. I keep trying to pay attention when Tony drives us every Sunday morning, but that scenario usually ends with me stirring from a reverie. Bahaha.
7) I have a really strange way of speaking Mandarin Chinese when I'm around my immediate family. Like, I distort the words. I can't really explain it adequately; you'd have to hear it. It's not even intentional anymore sometimes; it just happens because I've done it so much already. (Speaking of my family, I'm an entirely different person when I'm around them. "Weird" is an understatement. :3)
8) It may not seem like it when you first meet me, but sarcasm is like breathing for me. That side of me doesn't usually come out until we know each other well enough, though. Such is life when you're a socially awkward person who needs twice the amount of time as an average person does to connect with people. And when I say "you," I mean me. True story. (But it makes me appreciate the people who stick around even more. <3)
9) If we have a television show or two (or y'know...ten) in common, we will probably get along fine. Extra cool points if you watch Supernatural, Lost, and/or Dexter. :)
10) Contrary to popular belief, I love hugs. It makes me sad that people think I don't like them.
P.S. Blogspot confuses me. They should just link your follower thumbnails to the actual blogs, so I don't have to waste so much time blindly searching for them (and failing). Link me to your blog if I haven't found you yet, pretty please. :)
P.P.S. My atypical development class has already been cancelled for tomorrow. That leaves me with...ZERO CLASSES TOMORROW. WHAT UPPP.

I'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind
I don't know what prompted me to jump on the blogging bandwagon - or rather, return to it. But hello! I guess I needed a fresh start somewhere, even if it does just involve something as mundane as expressing my day-to-day musings to a blank computer screen. :)
I've been in such a strange state of mind lately, and there's something about it that pushes me to write things. Is it possible to feel simultaneously happy (for the first time in a long time) and overwhelmingly sad? I think this year I've felt more than I have in my entire life. I'm so used to swallowing my emotions, but I've found that I can't really get away with that anymore. I guess that's a good thing; there are times when it can be surprisingly cathartic.
I've been listening to Starfield's "Unashamed" a lot lately. It's really kind of beautiful. I think we sang it at InterVarsity a few weeks ago, and I don't know, it just hit me in a different way.
Bee tee dubs add me on AIM, friends! I promise I'll go online more than once every 2 years from now on. I'm still starxxglass (cool points for whoever knows where that's from), since I can't seem to think of another screen name that isn't already taken. :P

Here I am, at Your feet
In my brokenness complete
