and the phantoms of the night will fade into the past

On finishing college, dodging adulthood, and sketching the future.


just came back from a nice evening out complete with superheroes and BTTF.

it’s been nearly two months since i’ve last written here… and it’s not because nothing’s going on, but maybe because i’ve been more into communicating in person rather than on this computer. nonetheless, hold on tight, this will likely be a long one.

but life has been good. i’m finishing up my final semester of college, just one week of classes left. i’ll be moving back home in a couple weeks and i’ll be living there for at least five months or so. my parents seem to be more than happy to have me living there for awhile, and i think it will be nice as well. i’ve always gotten along well with my family, especially the past few years or so.

and then after that i may be moving out of euclid (gasp!). but i’ll talk more about that if/when the time comes.

people keep asking if i’m ready for “the real world”.. and i don’t quite know how to respond. i was watching a dvd of this musical called “pippin” (it’s in my top 3 faves) and there’s this line in one of the songs:

“i believe if i refuse to grow old, i can stay young til i die.”

and i guess i feel that way. i just want to live life to the fullest, and i know that means something different for each person. but for me, that means i don’t want a stressful job, i want to be able to enjoy life without needing a lot of money or material goods.. i think it just comes down to good company.

————————-

if someone told you to paint a picture of your life, what would you paint? i have a feeling that a picture like that could really say a lot about what’s important to you and what’s not. what about painting a picture of your life ten years from now? i think i’d draw myself, a wife, three or four kids, and a cat.

that’s it for now. this is ross, signing off… i hope to be back soon.

current mood: thoughtful

current music: sarah mclachlan – angel

  1. When I first read that painting paragraph, I thought you wrote “three or four wives”… So you’re a Mormon now, eh?

    I’ll be home in about 11 days for about 2 and a half weeks with nothing to do, so we should definitely make some plans. Pat will be home too.

    What’s up with the “blast with the past” bit? Hit me up on IM sometime. I’m cool because I used the phrase “hit me up”.

    Alright, I’ll cya around.

    so how’s your love life? tomorrow i’m seeing the notorious nemo. aka mr.gr10 heart breaker…aka dude in the very begining my lj.

    must be a cool feeling to be finishing college. i’m just finishing high school. still aiming for psychology. just a few more months.

    do you like the uber cheesy & popular Christmas song “All I Want For Christmas Is You”? *hums.

    I’d paint a picture of a girl sitting on the end of a cliff looking at a sunset.

    Hope to hear from you soon.
