I loved your memo, btw...

"The Life Of The Party Can Be Deadly"
[Music || LeAnn Rimes, "Tic Toc"]
Okay, so in our bathroom stalls some person posted up some informative brochures about "Alcohol poisoning" that has the title "The Life Of The Party Is Deadly" or something.

Well, I am not going to post about alcohol poisoning. I feel left out when I hear most college students around me is having a ball and drinking and such. I just don't see the appeal right now. I don't know why, but I rather much enjoy cranberry juice with Sprite. I don't condemn anyone for drinking but I want to know what's the reason for drinking?

Is it so things can be more lively and fun? Or is it because when we were little, we were constantly warned how alcohol is a "no-no," thus, creating a forbidden fruit appeal?

I don't know, but I hope I will carry this strength to avoid temptation and stick with my Juicy Juice. I rather get natural highs from karaoke and shopping. That's just me, though.

"Metamorphosis, Whatever This Is"
[Music || M2M, "Wanna Be Where You Are"]
I definitely did not see tonight coming. Kit called me out of the blue and came to visit; I was surprised to hear how he's been. In a couple of months, each of us (not just us two, but everyone) have transformed into a different path strayed from whatever high school angst and innocence.

Perhaps, it really is true that it is college where one discovers one's true self. I have become a tamed beast admiring his surroundings, straying away from wilderness. I like it that way.

Now I think, if a few months have brought forth so many changes, what about the forthcoming years? I feel scared but excited. Somehow, I know I will look back and always wish for the simple life back then, the days of youth and energy. I don't want to grow up, not now, not yet.

Take me out to the swings Helen. Forget about the 9-to-5 jobs, the finals, the sex, the parties, the drugs -- I want to close my eyes and just swing. Just be.
