The Importance of Absurdity
Tuesday, December 24, 2002
Yeah, so uhhh, good night! It's Christmas! Where the stinkin crap did that come from? It's like you go to sleep in Michigan and you wake up in Oregon! I mean, holy sin! Lol, thats my new phrase. You know, kinda like a "Christmas is a diamond" and "There's no need for hell" sorta thing. Or, if you have no flipping idea what I'm talking about, ignore me. Please. Go right ahead. Now that that's over with, where was I...ahhh, Christmas. It's totally popped out of nowhere. Luckily I caught hold of it soon enough to get presents for people. In any event though, Christmas doesn't really matter. I mean, I didn't say that. Wow, I'm just not real good with this whole talking thing, am I? Christ's birth is of utmost importance. But we should be celebrating that everyday. In which case, Christmas, the holiday, itself doesn't matter. The whole presents thing...yeah, I'm not so much feeling it. I mean, yeah, it's nice. A couple more cds to add to my collection, a couple books, some cow stuff, some Duke stuff, whatever. I already got my viola anyway (but hey, that was only a half present!). Maybe this is one of those growing up things. Me and my brothers and Win (once again, my three dumb brothers united!) were all up late last night. And I dunno why, but it seems like we're all closer when we're up late. Almost like we have a secret that my 'rents don't have. I mean, I know what it is. It's called adolesence. But anyway, days were that me and Mike would get up 'round 7 or 8 and wait 'til we could open our stockings. Then we'd wake Brian, we'd all eat breakfast and then open presents. Of course, we'd first fight over who got to sit where and who got to be Santa that year (of course, everyone said it was someone different the year before!). But now, we all sleep late. 'Course, we're up 'til 2 or so, but still (my 'rents used to wait 'til we were in bed to fill our stockings, now they just wait 'til early the next morning!). When my mom informed us that she'll wake us at 10, we all groaned. Now, we all trudge down the stairs, open our stockings and try our best to stay awake through breakfast. We'll all flop down on the couch or chair or floor, whichever finds us first, and insist that we were Santa last year, so it must be Brian's turn (he was always the one doing it anyway!). Anyway, not that this has much of anything to do with anything (like most everything that escapes from my mouth)�

I'm here, I'm here! I really am! I swear, I haven't fallen off the edge of the earth like you've probably been thinking! 'Course, the earth doesn't have an edge, but wouldn't it be cool if it did? Ultimate vacation�anywhoo, I'm here. It's been an insane couple of months�what am I talking about? It's been an insane 6 months! Holy crap? Six months! I'm just now realizing that it's nearly Christmas. I'm not ready for it. I finished semester number 5 today�goodness, it sounds like nothing, but there's only 3 left!!! Can you believe that??? It feels like just yesterday I was walking through the insanely crowded hallways (which are now nearly unbearable) with my schedule and map in hand, hoping, praying that I'd see someone I know. Now, I can hardly go anywhere without someone stopping me to say hello or ask me something or other.
It's funny how all of us have gotten older. I remember still remember Wendy's squeals over goodness knows what. Or Jasmine's sullen glare. Or even Monica's boy craziness. And now, Wendy spends her days studying and fretting about the future. Jasmine's rarely seen without a smile on her face. And Monica's off at NCSSM, with her boyfriend of several months. And Jessica. The change in her relational decisions between 9th grade and now is phenomenal. And I wonder�how much have I changed? I mean, I know that I'm now happy-go-lucky, always talking, not a care in the world Katey (as opposed to my former sullen, sulking, not much fun to be around middle school self). But really, have I changed all that much? Hmmm. An interesting thought though.
Well, hopefully, I'll be recording some stuff over the next two weeks. As of now, there's 5 songs we're gonna do, one of which isn't totally finished yet. I mean, it's finished, but I haven't tweaked it yet. "Home" has just been tweaked to perfection. Can't get any better. Which is a really nice feeling to have! The other songs are "Be Still (Psalm 46)", "O Wonderous Gift" (an Anne Steele hymn that I wrote some music for), "Come Thou Fount" and "3am" (the one that I'm still tweaking). My friend Jamie Faussett's doing all the technical stuff�that's really not my area at all! Don't really know if we're gonna be doing it here or at her house, but that doesn't really matter anyway, now does it? So anyway, hopefully by the time I go back to school (yeah, I REALLY don't want to think about that!), or even by Mark and Eric's concert, I'll have some good mp3's and hardcopies for y'all.

Long time, no write. There's a reason. I wonder about myself. And my stupidity. I have however decided (after only a year and a half) that this is gonna be my permanent blog. Tripod sucks. Never use Tripod. Or at least, don't use it on my computer. I deleted some of the useless nonsense that was on here before, so it's all pretty and clean and all! Yay! This is exciting! Ok, not really, but we can pretend so. This blog has no current purpose except to allow me to vent about the rardishness of my life. And there's a lot of that. And, since I no longer feel that my soul is either weary or somewhat contented, as I've previously stated, we're starting over with the name thing too. The Importance of Absurdity. C'est ma vie. It's also gonna be the name of my bio/autobio if I ever have one written/write one. And for now, I'm signing off to go do lots of other fun stuff. Like get up posts that I've been too lazy to previously do.
