another fucking blizzard

i mean...why? this just blows. colorado is starting to piss me off at this point. the first blizzard was bad enough, as it lost its novelty after my third straight hour of three straight days stuck in the house, but now this? come on! the last thing that needs to happen is for half the state to shut down AGAIN, and me to be stuck at home with cabin fever once more. though at least i'm getting to mix it up a little. the first time around i was stuck in the house with my dad, brother, and sister. now it'll be my mom, stepdad, and brother. the only common variable here is my brother, but he's cool - cynical, fed up with the world, and antsy...just like me. who knows? maybe we'll end up getting into the mother of all snowball fights in the next few days. (this is just a bad idea at my dad's house, as we have a raging creek, which happens to resemble more of a violent river, right behind our house. our fun and games would likely lead to us plummeting to our untimely deaths.) i guess this whole snowstorm thing is good for me though. i always bemoan the lack of seasons out in california, so this giant dose of shit weather should suffice for the next year. perhaps i'll gain a greater appreciation for our stagnant bouts of sunshine with intermittent periods of rain. actually, it rained a lot last year, and rain is just annoying. need i go into this? i think not. on a sidenote, my mom got me an automatic umbrella for christmas. (honestly, the damn thing is still in the package so i have no idea what this whole "automatic" business is, but it sounds wicked awesome.) hey - i might just bust it out the next time a monsoon rolls through palo alto. alright, fine...i guess my school does have seasons, but they're WEAK.

i'm probably complaining so much because i'm already tired of sitting at home. lucky for me, however, my friend has a giant truck that he's going to drive over soon and take me sledding or something. i hate the lack of freedom though, and having to rely on all these other people. but i guess when you've been dealt an '88 acura legend with a failing transmission and brakes that only work about half the time, you can't be a chooser. that's right. i've been relegated to begger status.

so not to put a damper on things, but i do go back to school on the 8th of january, and every time i think about it it feels like i've gotten the wind knocked out of me. it's not that school's all that bad. it's both interesting and easy most of the time. but the monotany of my life and the awkward, obsessive compulsive kids out there grate on me constantly, and that's what i'm really not looking forward to. yet this does inspire random trips to disneyland, burbank, tahoe, and various parts of the wine country up north, so i guess my boredom has led to a little more worldliness on my part. hahahahahah. (not really.) but hey - i'll be in europe for an entire year shortly, and this is what keeps me going.

well, i feel as though i've ranted long enough, and though i've barely gotten anything out of my system, it's probably best for me to stop doing more damage to my character. i love this whole blog thing. reading over these posts, i feel like such an asshole sometimes...
