Time is a funny thing. Not funny: "ha-ha"... more like funny: "oh-how-sad"

I told myself that I'd keep up on this blog even though the sole purpose of the blog has come to a conclusion and been put away to bed over a month ago. I guess this is what real life does to you. When I was traveling, I couldn't wait to tell get on my laptop and geek out at all the great things that I saw and did that day... no matter how mundane (re: Rome's stay-in-and-watch-bad-movies festival).

But that's just it: Now things are settling into a series of mundane tasks. Oh, at least there's no monotony, I suppose. And the static that is my new life in this apartment has been magically broken up by the visitations of old friends and new recently, whose company gave us so much laughter over the course of the last few days. But still... there's something that's eating at me and I can't quite figure it out. I commented today that I feel like I don't really have anything to do, which is great because now I can play video games or watch movies or catch up on TV series or read comics or do anything that I enjoy doing to my hearts content. So many ways to waste time, in fact, that I find I don't really have time to do them all. Which is not so great after all, come to find out. I figure, when laziness becomes work, you might as well get a job. At least then I could bitch about it and gain a tidbit of sympathy from others, most of whom bust their asses every day to make ends meet and probably don't want to come home to a messy blog that can't help but bitch about being bored all the time.

As it stands, I am waiting for school to start up in June. Until then, I have chores and plans and things to do to pass the time and let me feel accomplished. But that nebulous time in-between is starting to give me itchy feet. I really miss travel and the necessary distraction it brings. I guess, until I'm able to get going again, I will just have to take every day one at a time like the normal people do. Boo hoo for me, right?

Right.

Thanks for letting me ramble my maudlin thoughts across the vast wasteland of the internets for a few. I'll try to make sure one of the ways I waste time on a regular basis ends up being towards this blog.

Cheers.
