Chuff blog

It’s been far too long since I posted on my wordpress blog. I guess I’ll do this so someday down the road I can say “hey, check out my blog” to someone and actually finish the sentence. (As opposed to “hey, ch– nevermind…”)

I do have another blog but that one is solely for my poetry. It’s on the old blogging system: Xanga. I remember when Xanga used to be huge. I guess it’s not anymore.

Or it is, and is only huge for people I don’t know.

I hate things like that. Like MSN messenger. And Skype.

And IRC!!!!

Those were never big around here. In fact, I never even heard anyone talk about them before I started Internet-Exploring (using Firefox, coincidentally).

Anyway, here are some updates in my life, by topic:

Age / Tijd?

I have not fallen off the earth, despite popular belief. I turned seventeen two months ago, and I’m feeling happy.

School / School

Well, there’s the musical I’m in at my school coming up.. Fiddler on the Roof. It’s November 8-9. My character is Perchik. I was originally given the lead, but it was taken from me after 2 days and given to someone else; oddly enough, the same guy who both had the lead last year and has my jealousy attributed to him.

Language / Taal

I’ve started really learning Dutch! I like it a lot, and right now is one of those times where each new word is a golden happy experience. I feel like a kid digging with his hands in the front yard!

Sadly, though, one of the books I bought from the Book Nook recently was actually in Flemish, a dialect of Dutch that’s not quite the same. It’s poems anyways, so I probably won’t get to it for a while.

Because it seems most poets like to corrupt and convolute their language as much as they can in their poetry.

Maybe I can read the introduction or something.

Femmes / Vrouwen

Well, Lana and I have had somewhat of an obstacle course to find our way through, and one of the sections of it requires us to separate and find our way back to a place where we can meet again. Then our embrace will mean even more! I really, really, really want to stay with her. X” hk/mx.ui p,h,x.l. x’a p,h,x’acte tekhx’ate X” s,tex”\m\m \mx.vvx’e khx’el.-

of in ‘t Nederlands: (Ik weet dat ik van Lana nog houd.)

I’ve been talking with a college girl named Karla, and she’s quite cool, and very interesting. I fear, though, that her family is entirely unlike me and therefore no real relationship can dare become of it. In the meanwhile, I stoke the fire with my stupid charm.

Reading / Lezen

I’m not reading much, I don’t know why I made this a heading.

I’m reading The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne for school, though. So there it is.

Spiritual / Spiritual

I’ve somewhat fallen out with my relationship with Jesus. I think it’s because I don’t see Him as the type that gets a kick out of answering His children’s prayers. Well, maybe not mine anyway. It seems as though nothing I ask Him for comes to me, and I started to wonder why I should even talk to Him when He knows not only everything that’s going on, but everything that’s going to be going on tomorrow, next year, when I’m thirty, and so on eternally.

Well goodbye for now, then.
