The Taxes

Blog post. Haven't done this in a while.

I should really be doing my taxes right now. I should have just done them in January and move on. But no, I always leave things to the last minute. Welcome to the life of a professional procrastinator. Ooh, alliteration!

Watched The Fellowship of the Ring with my dad yesterday. Which was weird. I basically know those movies by heart, and I love them to death, and then my dad kept pointing out things like, "Okay, if those woods are dangerous, why do they have to go through there? Why not just take another path?" And I had to come to the realization that fate is a really neat way to drive your plot. It's just because they have to. It's where they're supposed to go. It's what is supposed to happen. Which is, admittedly, very bad reasoning.

Going to spend two days with extended family. I don't know who exactly is going to come, but probably loads of old people. Friends and relatives of my grandparents. Shame I have hardly any cousins actually in my age range. I'm sort of looking forwards to it, anyway. But sort of not, too. That was a very strange not-sentence.

My excitement for Camp NaNo has sort of drained again. I just really want my stupid exam to be over and be able to jump up and down and squeal because it's SUMMER and SUMMER is AWESOME. And also, start writing my novel and see where it takes me.

Also started watching the TV show Girls, and I wonder if I'm gonna end up like Hannah. Unemployed, broke, and with dreams too big for me. Because let's face it, studying English is just not gonna buy you a job. It's a pretty useless degree. That is pretty, and degree-y, and useless. And the word degree-y totally doesn't work.

Ah, yes, the joys of being a wanna-be writer, who enjoys thoughts and coffee and books and puns and invented words. I'm basically programmed to be a faliure in our efficient, capitalistic, progress-oriented society. Except maybe that I'm furthering the economy with my coffee addiction.
