I have a new theory. Now, before you run away screaming, "She's done it again! Run while you still can!", let me explain.
I think that the power of words is stronger than even I realized. Take this blog, for example. When I have something to say, or when something happens that I want to share, I come here. I write about it. I can take my time, and form coherent sentences, and the finished product is
exactly how I wanted it to turn out. Not true when talking. I can't tell you
how many times I've started to say something, and screwed it up halfway through the sentence, so I had to start over. Time is too important to waste on things you never meant to say anyway.
And another thing: Sometimes, it's easier to say things properly when you get to write them down. You don't have to modify your sentence halfway through because you see the eyes of the other person glazing over. You don't know right away how they will react. They won't see you when you really
are rolling on the floor laughing, not just typing it. (I, for one, try to keep people from thinking I'm any weirder than I already am.) Words are just... awesome like that, I guess.
Enough with Philosophical!Linz. On to MyLifeIsBoringButI'llTellYouAboutItAnyway!Linz. I volunteered at Eugene Burroughs again yesterday, for the general election this time. It was so different. Some of the same people were there, but not all of them. I guess their candidates didn't win the primaries. In September, we were all "chasing the shade" because it was so hot. Yesterday, I was wishing I had brought my gloves. It was frigid outside. Then it started raining, so I'm thinking, "What did I do? Isn't standing outside
in the cold, giving papers to people who don't really want them anyway enough?" But the men out there (note that there were no other teenagers -- just me) were nice enough to let me go inside while it rained. It wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. Time goes by rather quickly when you're not doing much. ;)
One last thing: Only nine more days until
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's like I was telling Niki, waiting for CoS is like waiting for Christmas. It gets closer and closer, but it's never
here. And when it's finally here, it's over all too soon. =)
