This blog, soon approaching its second birthday, has had a bumpy path. I started it two summers ago to sort out my thoughts regarding the finale of my high school experience and to ponder my expectations of college. It helped me get through that transitional summer, then I put it to rest to begin my new life at college. Halfway through my freshman year, I resurrected the dear blog to help me sort out the aforementioned thoughts on expectations of college and to compare them to my experiences in that world. The busyness of college then took over, so the blog was once again buried.
It's time it saw the light again. This time, it will probably have a very different look to it. I think about very different things now than I did two years ago. I'm living my very last month and week of my teenage years, and this has led me to journey different paths than I did in high school.
I originally began this blog because I enjoyed reading those of friends, and I wanted to see what I could contribute to the world wide web myself. Now, this blog is resurrecting for a different reason. This will solely be an outlet. I'm not expecting anyone to read this and be enlightened. I'm not even expecting anyone to read this. I just want to be able to pour my thoughts into some sort of medium. That's the only way I can function. I overanalyze nearly everything this world and others offer me, and I need to scoop them out of my head before my head weighs more than my body. I suppose this will function as my Pensieve. There goes my Harry Potter reference of the day.
Indeed, the name Harry Potter will be dropped often on this blog's face, especially during the next two months. Probably even more common than that will be the word "music." That is largely the purpose of this blog, to give me somewhere to analyze music. Shannon and Sarah are sick of hearing me discussing songs and albums, and they're now hundreds or even thousands of miles away, so that's not even as accessible. I think that my parents are sick of it, even the little I've mentioned it, after living with me for 11 days. I try to keep my mouth shut about most things at work, and music is a large portion of it. I don't think my coworkers care about my obsession with Relient K a bit. I suppose the giant sticker on my Nalgene is a loud enough declaration.
I'm also hoping that this will be a medium to share my experiences with distant family and friends when I go to Europe in three months. Hopefully I will have easy access to internet that will enable me to do this.
Welcome back, swakt lbcR. You will be a good friend of mine this summer. For now, I think I agree with what Elliott Smith is singing right now: "I better be quiet now."

Hahahahahaha I jsut read back to your last one and saw that there were other comments, other than my own and busted up laughing at the "wanna' see my free porn?" one. Too funny!
I am glad that you put a link to your blog on facebook, now I can have it for whenever I want to come see it!
I think that it is a great idea! Especially for keeping in touch and stuff while you are in europe. But I definately expect e-mails! because I will sure be e-mailing you with all of the craziness of UP and the school of nursing and stuff. Oh! yesterday, ( I think it was yesterday anyway) I had to go get a shot/immunization for chile and the nurse asked me if I was ok with shots and I was really confused and said well I don't see why I wouldn't be, and she said that sometimes people faint and stuff and well yeah, something, or should I say someone came to mind, I won't say who, but I laughed and thought of "them" ;)
Umm where was I? oh yeah! WHy isn't Ben gibbard on your list? or Kelly Clarkson for that matter? She is key! I think so anyway ;)
OK! Well I am excited for you! I hope this is kept up ;) Can't wait to see you tomorrow! (seeing as it is past midnight!) I wonder when you will read this?
Hey look. A blog. That's exciting. I'd forgotten that you had one. I shall, perhaps, toon in with relative interest. (That was a really non-committal statement. Oh well.) It may or may not be true. (Followed by another rather vague statement) Hope that you are well. I'm glad to see that your blog has been resurrected. I leave you with a reading from the Gospel of John... sort of. Maybe John Williamson. Who knows?
When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice,"SwaktlbcR, come out." The blog who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go."
