I haven't posted for quite a while (3 days) and I figured "no time like the present." I returned from my short trip to Pennsylvania yesterday after catching copious amounts of fish and lounging about. Last night I attempted to write a story about something, but everything I started came out like shite and I lost interest. I said to a friend once that you should be emotionally involved with what you write and I certainly wasn't emotional about what I wrote last night, so I threw my notebook across the room, exclaimed "shite" pretty loud and then went to sleep. I haven't written anything in a few months and I fear my creative well may be drying up. Maybe it's because I've been living on salad and cottage cheese in an effort to lose a bit of weight. Unfortunately, no one has told me "Don't be stupid 'cause you're looking great." Anyway (does it seem like I say that too often?), I have to go finish reading "In Cold Blood" for school. It's ok so far but not one of my favorites. I guess after you read "The World According to Garp" nothing lives up anymore. Anyway (there I go again), I have 2 days till school starts and I still have to read 200 more pages! While food shopping with my Mom yesterday, I said to her, "Even though I light scented candles in my room, like cute cars, dress twee and have never had a real girlfriend, I'm not gay. She laughed and said that she didn't think I was anyway. Not that there is anything wrong with being gay, I just wanted to make sure I never had the same type of talk that Kenneth P had with his dad, and then spend the rest of my life trying to prove that I wasn't gay. I mean, the real reason I'm not actively seeking a girlfriend is because in reality, High School relationships have to end. I don't even know where I am going to college. I'm starting to ramble so I'd better go read now. Bye all. Derek "My sister cried when I said she was haughty and condescending. I don't know why though.
