IF YOU WANT IT, YOU CAN HAVE IT, BUT YOU'VE GOT TO LEARN TO REACH OUT THERE AND GRAB IT.

What An Emotionally Deep Title, Right?
It's From 'Photograph' By Weezer.
It's A Total Tune, From The Green Album.
I Have No Idea Why Not Everyone Loves Weezer, They're So Good.
They're Credible Pop Punk I Reckon.
Get Into It.

Weezer - Photograph

And I Know I Said I Wouldn't Post Any More Music, But I Got Over Myself, And Figured It Was Rather Selfish Not To.

I Realise That I Haven't Written In Weeks, Maybe Months In Fact, And For That I Apologise.
However, I Couldn't Really Think Of Anything Worth Writing About, For A While.
A Lot Has Happened, But I Couldn't Find A Way To Put It Into An Interesting Read.
Lots Of 'I Guess You Had To Be There' Moments, Which Always Suck.
You Know When You Find Yourself In A Conversation With Someone Who's Talking About People You've Never Met, And The Story Isn't Funny Enough To Redeem The Fact That You Don't Know Who They're Talking About?
That Is One Of My Greatest Fears, Because You Never Know Quite How To React.
There's Fake Laughter, But Fake Laughter Is Often Very Readable.
My Favourite Is The 'One Second, I'm Going To Get Another Drink, But We'll Finish This Off In A Second Yeah? Sounds Good' Reaction.
If You've Ever Heard That Sentence, And Possibly NEVER, EVER Seen The Person Again, You Are Guilty Of This Practice.

But I Digress.

A Lot Has Actually Happened.

(I Wrote That Bit Nearly A Month Ago, Haha. This Is Progress.)

SO YEAH, Not Much Has Been Happening.
I've Realised That This Is Probably Because I Haven't Been To College In Two And A Half Weeks, Which Is Definitely Stupid.
And Completely Unnecessary.
I've Also Realised That Skipping This Much College Has Probably Weakened My 'Remembered For Eternity' Status.
I Like To Think That In Twenty Years People From College Will Be Searching Whatever's Replaced MySpace, Facebook Or Friends Reunited For Me, Telling Their Children Of Our Antics, However Big Or Small.
Nobody Else Seems That Worried About Being Remembered, Which Has Made Me Sort Of Take A Second Look At My Worry.
It's Probably Quite Egotistical, Thinking That I Could Possibly Have Made Any Impact At All On Anyone, Or Even Everyone, Which Is The Spot I Was Aiming For.
But I Don't Much Mind.
I Want People To Remember Me As 'The One That Got Away', 'The Pop Goff', 'The Indecisive Wreck', Absolutely Whatever They See Me As, As Long As I'm Remembered.
And That's Probably Really Messed Up In Itself, But I Don't Know.
If Anything I'm Glad I'm Worried About It, Rather Than Assuming I Won't Be Remembered.

Education Is Really Odd I Think.
You're Forced Into Contact With All These People Who Could Only Share The Need Of A Government Enforced Scheme, Yet Somehow You Make Friends.
In Some Cases More Than Friends, And Then You Just Have Weird 'Is This How They Do It In 'Saved By The Bell'?' Physical Contact.
Not That There's Anything Wrong With 'Saved By The Bell' Contact, Kelly Kapowski - I Wouldn't Have To Think Twice, But Every So Often A Jessie Spano Comes Along Without You Noticing.
And Then Jessie Spano Goes On To Act In 'Showgirls' Where She Acts Out Various Things She Stood Against In High School, And No It Isn't Empowering For Women, It's Just Sexist, And The Film Flops And Her Career Is Ruined.

I TOTALLY LOST WHAT I WAS MEANING HALF WAY THROUGH THE 'SAVED BY THE BELL' METAPHOR AND FELT IT WAS NECESSARY TO BRING IT TO ITS NATURAL CONCLUSION.

But I Definitely Think It's Weird That People Make Friends For Life In The Town They're Born In - Surely In An Ideal World The Person Who Is Perfect For You Could Be Anywhere In The World, And I Don't Know If It's A 'You're Stuck With Them' Mentality Or Whatever Else, But It Seems To Work.
We Need More Legendary Moments.
I Definitely Had Them All The Time Just Under Two Years Ago, And I Don't Like To Think That That's The Interesting, Almost Adventurous Part Of My Life Over.
In Sitcoms People Always Have Those 'Do You Remember That Time...' Moments, And I Think We Need To Seek Those Out.
Upnorthapolooza Was One For Sure, And I'll Never Forget What I Remember Of That For My Entire Life, And Bristol Was An Experience Definitely, But We Need To Get Out Of Our Comfort Zones For Interesting Things To Happen.
