Yes, a wave of white shot across our lovely county and fortunately school was called off. It's rather interesting that I used to so look forward to snow days. Now it's temporary cheer followed by depression. As demonstrated below, how something can be so bright and so dark I don't know. Speaking of below, I know I generally take an anti-symbolism stance, but this one's simple so I hope you won't hold it against me. I don't quite know why I rhyme or do any of that silly poetry stuff, but bad "poetry" isn't a crime (no animals were hurt in the making of it; let's hope no minds will be pained by it either). Good thing I'm sticking with math, eh?
Continuing with the emotions theme, they're a pretty tricky lot. If I try hard enough I can generally warp them around to a better set, but sometimes I forget that I can or I just don't feel like it. Thus in one of those episodes this morning in a dream induced delirium(which I've been having quite a bit lately, as opposed to my normal dreamless sleep), I actually experienced sadness. Sadness, like happiness, is pure. Each has their offsets like hope and despair, joy and depression, amusement and horror, but the actual emotion itself has such a poignant quality. It's almost like a beautiful (for lack of a better word), cold dagger that aims right at the heart. It's almost evil, if one were to believe in such things. But it was just a brief blow, so it's easily enough recovered from.
But enough of that dreary stuff. I'm still got three snow days! When these blasted things were implemented in 1995 I can understand. For those of you who don't remember or maybe had a different system, elementary school used to start fifteen minutes later and end fifteen minutes ealier. After a week or so of snow, they increased the school day 30minutes (and made us go on a Saturday or two) to make sure we went to school enough. Since then I don't believe we've ever used more than four. They don't even have the decency of giving us our days back if we don't use them! It's a travesty, I tell you! Ah well. I'm just saying that because this is probably the worst semester I've had so school isn't exactly enjoyable. Eh, what can ya do? Keep your eye on the prize! Which just so happens to be a brief stint of college followed by more high school for the rest of my life. Go figure.
On a more cheerful note, the rotation story and probably the free-fall story will commence this weekend. If you're going to be in either of them I need your email to invite you to the blog so you can post. The sooner the better. As far as a theme, seeing as how I've yet to receive any suggestions or comments on the subject I'll be forced to choose one of my own devising. This is surprisingly more difficult than it sounds. I'm rather reserved about whether to do a fantasy setting or not. For those who don't read fantasy, this would essentially be Dungeons and Dragons without statistics, more of an epic Lord of the Rings-ish feel. Of course there would be elves, dwarves, gnomes, and pigmy shrews, but you could make up whatever you wanted. A struggle between good and evil with some high adventure mixed in might be rather interesting (especially if this were the setting for the larger version, thus dividing into multiple storylines interconnecting throughout the different character's paths). The other one would be in a more real setting, but still just as exciting. Like I've said many, many times comments are very welcome on this.
That's about all for now. I suppose I could get started on some homework. I mean it! Or maybe just a bit of TV...Until next time.
