Tales From The Wall Of Boredom

Hey guys. It's been a while since I made a newspost. It's really strange. I remember back when I was a young lad on NG making a newspost literally 4 or 5 times a day. Now I make a news post every few months. Not so strange, since I have gotten 7 years older. Just weird to think that 7 years have gone by. But then again it's not weird.

Anywho. School is winding down, and I'll be graduating in the beginning of June (June 3rd, mark your calendars), and then I will be off to college in the fall (University of Massachusetts Amherst, for those of you familiar with it). Am I excited? I guess. Not nearly as some other people are for going away to school. The way I see it, it's whatever, you know? Just the next step. It'll be fun I'm sure, but I'm not getting extremely giddy or anything.

Here's an odd phenomena I notice happening in my life. It'll be sunset or twilight of a sunny day, and I'll get this immense feeling of dread, of the end being nigh. Not necessarily the end of my life in a literal sense, but just the sense that I've spent all my time up, and now look it's all over and I've done nothing. I know it's not true, and there are points in my life I remember it happening and there was a hell of a lot of life directly after that. It's bad in the short term, and makes me feel really shitty. But in the end, I guess it's good because I can look back and see how crazy it is.

I just realized, I look way better in a long sleeved shirt than I do a regular short sleeve shirt. It's a shame, the warm season is coming up (which I love for every reason except this one, and insects), which means I'll return to short sleeve shirts. Maybe I just have to pick my wardrobe better. I'll have to keep that in mind.

That is all I can think of for now.

Music time. I haven't done this before, but I'm going to put a few songs here for you to listen to if you wish. I hope that's alright. And i hope that this works. Maybe I'll add more later. Two is good for now.

Picture time. I know I know, this really is something of a newspost. Isn't it? I'm getting a bit excited adding all this stuff. Nobody will see it but me, but at least I'm making it look nice. I've seen this sculpture in person before. It's neat.

Seems like a great school, congrats.

Was going to fan you but we have the EXACT SAME amount of fans so I didn't. Actually I probably wasn't going to anyway, just an observation. Just observing things. Making little observations here and there. Seeing this and th-Submit comment.

You should fan me though, unless you aren't a fan of me in which case oh well, can't please everybody.

Of little consequence now that Chat is gone altogether, as the wind will blow me away like a leaf.

So both of us are off to university. Both of us seem to have the same attitude to it as well. Both of us seem to be feeling the same at this point in life.

7 years seems so long ago. I still wish you had kept those news posts from 2007. I enjoyed it when you made 4 or 5 news posts a day. Still, both of us grew up and I guess neither of us have time to do that. It's odd that both of us were looking towards leaving our first schools when we first met.

Very different times those were. But, at the end of all things, we're still both here on NG. (Well, me lesser so as of late, but I still pop in every now and then).

And oh boy if I kept all those newsposts I'd probably have 300 pages worth of them. Yikes.
