I'm watching the last presidential debate right now, and this is just the keystone to my regained knowledge of why I avoid politics now.  It used to be my thing, going into politics was my plan for the longest time, I got super-involved with it when I was away at school.  Until my life changed completely and, for my own health and sanity, I left poltics behind almost completely.  I made a clean break from it and was happy,

But how can you ignore politcs during this election? Coming off of the Bush presidency, with economic problems, and a world that needs to figure out how to make the future something we want... Not something to dread.

I'm not even going to talk about my political views at all.  I'm just in awe of how bad politics is for my soul, I suppose is the easiest way to say it.  When I reveled in arguing about all this stuff with my friends and the people I was around at school, when i was sure that my future was ultimately in politics, and when I got very involved in politics outside of school, I must have really been a different person.

That's not something I feel like thinking about.  And I need to continue studying for my lab exam I have tomorrow, in biology.  Which will be annoying, even though it really does feel great to be back in school.  The key is that -- at least for the time being -- I am succeeding again.  Which is the mental victory I needed more than anything,

So, maybe I'll think about politics and my past when I'm bored in my economics class tomorrow... If so, then I'll talk about it.  If not, that's probably better for me anyway,  Sigh.  Cheers.

I haven't felt nearly motivated enough for my own good the past few days. I have a lab exam on Thursday that needs to, erm, be studied for and my house is a mess ever since a couple relatives (who will remain anonymous for their protection) decided it would be a great idea to trash it...Ugh

However, I am now going to do various school work.  The cleaning can wait, since it will function as a form of procrastination should I involve myself at the moment.

I love biology, but this lab exam is not something I look forward to.  I know I should do very well on many parts of it, but that's actually because I'm much more solid on the earlier things we studied.  And the later stuff isn't more at the front of my mind, because I managed to avoid learning some things that I should have. Not intentially, mind you.  But it still happened that way.

So I need to do homework now that my significant other is back from Georgia and will be here in a couple of hours.  So this is my perfect oppurtunity in the interim.  So, cheers.

I really really need to get internet access at my house, partially to help with my school research and other work, but also to give me something for me.  I would love to be able to post on a regular basis, like I did once upon a time, to help me relax and get all the things on my mind somewhere else.  So they don't bother me.  Paranoia is a difficult thing to live with after all.  So this is just my quick, stupid little blurb... But I plan on getting internet at my house soon, so this is a promise to myself that I will do it for me and when I do I will be able to write.  Probably much more than I should.  Always-on internet has boded poorly for me in the past, but I've gained a little maturity since then.  So cheers, and you will be hearing from me much more soon.  For whatever it's worth, since the main point of this is to be a high-tech form of talking to myself.

I'm going to school this semester, in just a few weeks -- which is terrifying and exciting.  I think maybe to preserve my own sanity once I take that step officially and school begins, I'll probably need to rant and let off steam on a regular basis.  So this will be updated regularly.  Probably.  And that's all, since now I need to go school shopping of sorts.  Cheers.

That's a pretentious title for this little blurb, my "Hello, goodbye" sort of first post.  I have to write something now or I never will, but I haven't the time to put down anything coherent.  So, hello.
