síndrome de férias

Reading other people's blogs makes me realize that everyone talks about their lives as if it was the most interesting thing in the world and it kind of is. It's weird how I'm losing my faith in humanity at the same time I'm falling in love with it... I mean, seriously, what makes one person more interesting to read than another? I seriously believe everyone is equally as interesting, but to different readers.
I wish Janis Joplin had a blog.
So since I'm so over my head in this love&hate relationship with life, then I'll talk about mine too, as if it was the most interesting thing in the world.

-Last weekend I went to Campos, it was a good change. I love traveling, even to the closest places, it finally feels like living. I like living.
-School, on the other hand, feels like dying. I wish it didn't but it's inevitable.
-Only one more day of school!!! I have no idea what I'll do in the holidays because I'm kind of a last minute person (kind of?? :D) but I might go someplace cold. And yay, I already have a list of holiday work to do... IB Extended Essay and English Internal Assessment plus THREE books. Okay I'm definitely NOT talking about school here. It makes me feel even deader.
-Yes, I'm not going to Switzerland and London anymore... Ugh I hate being a last minute person.
-Good news: I'm finally getting over my "bad phase". I think. Oh my I should really check myself into rehab. DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE! And yes, I should write a book about it.
-I got two Joss Stone cds. The first and the last. I like the first better but yeah she's great and I LOVE my new music phase.
-I don't want to give everything away, but I might be moving into a new... room. Some decorating ideas involve hippie 'door curtains' and the 70's theme.
-I watched some really good movies... "Iron Jawed Angels" and "Wristcutters: a love story". Oh and "Walk the Line" and "Almost Famous" AGAIN.
- Oh this is really strange but I actually found out famous people can be pretty normal. At Campos I had lunch and dinner with this actress and she's really normal AND funny. Okay, I'll admit they are a bit more interesting... Penny Lane was right! Hahah I'm being pulled into the dark side....
-Currently listening to: Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Joss Stone, and one song by Social Distortion that is actually not Janis' as I first thought, "Ball and Chain".

So yeah, I'm posting because I have nothing better to do. I just got home from my almost last final (which I probably failed since it was Physics), I've already played the guitar, I've already stolen my sister's Diabolo for like an hour (and yes, those things ARE addicting), I've already eaten and oh I made a promise that I won't turn into a compulsive eater this vacation! and I'm supposed to look for holiday activities according to my mother, but I'm not on very good terms with her right now, so... Yes, I'm posting.

Which makes me realize how lame it is for everyone to think so highly of their lives. Which is what makes it interesting, since everyone's essentially the same and life is absurd for everyone. Even for famous people, it's just that their lives are absurdly cool. Yeah, the holidays are already driving me crazy, I sound like a girl from my class!

I really should check myself into a mental clinic of some sort.
