I told my mother that my New Year’s resolution is to embrace my dark side.
She was not amused.
I hope you all had a good holiday, Hogswatch or other. As dad waited despairingly for me to post on here I got distracted with Various Things. Now though, it’s the eve of my return to college for my final semester and I could expound at great length about being 21 and having the world and my fingertips* etc. However, the speakers on the computer keep making a strange hissing/spitting noise even though I’m not on any site or program that has sound anywhere. (I did stumble across a site with an eerie tune floating around it while I was looking for good pictures of Shelob** but that was a while ago). I can only assume that it’s aliens trying to communicate with the household. They’re probably really looking for my father, who has always had an affinity for outer-space types. They will be disappointed as he is (wisely) sleeping, and I really feel I ought to log off so I don’t accidentally say or type something offensive. Best to leave first contact to the experts.
Still, I would like to wish everyone the best in 2012, belated though I may be.
*Student loans aside
**Being an RA doesn’t put me in nearly as many strange situations as being a piper does, but it has its small moments.
Once I shown a light on my dark side, and it looked so ridiculous I almost felt sorry for it. Sort of scruffy and no dress sense, sort of thing.
ReplyDeleteThat first contact with an alien race might actually occur through my brother is a concept I simply cannot become comfortable with - which probably means it's a good idea. As long as it's not the US State Department, I'm cool with it!
