Beginings

Basically, I keep saying things that should be monologues. And I'm afraid I will forget them... So! Per my friend's request.. here is the beginning of what should be a monologue.

"My birthday is on Pi day. You know three point one four dot dot dot. So people are always giving me pies for my birthday. Except that I really like birthday cake"

Tick-tock tick-tock tick-tock

Today was something of a momentous occasion. It was strike for the spring play, the last day of the last play of the year. Which basically means... for the next, oh 32 school days, I am free! I have nothing to do after school, no rehearsal to go to, no lines to memorize... Which sounds lovely, right? Except that I've forgotten how to do nothing.

Oh, I have plans. I'm going to run, drink starbucks, see my friends on weekdays and have time to write more... It'll be more and more amazing the warmer it gets.

But the rapidly warming weather makes me realize that I have been consistently busy since September.

And thinking about September makes me realize how much has happened and how much has time has passed.

Which of course leads to me to realize that this school year is almost over! High school one half done? As someone said to me today "that's cray-cray".

And school being almost over makes me think of prom!

My school has a junior prom and a senior prom. And I'm a sophmore. So technically, I shouldn't be going at all... but through a strange slightly random turn of events I am going, with my ex-boyfriend...as friends (yes, that is weird).

Prom makes me feel old. I'm excited because I harbor a little girl's liking of dressing up but at the same time, I'm not. It might be really fun or it might be just okay, I'm sure I'll have a good time. It's just dawning on me how fast time is slipping by.
