A Chair in the Corner

The last few days have been crazy. The festivities have included:

• A four night/five day sleepover.
• Pool party.
• The boat.
• Crazy college kid parties.
• Minimal sleep (replaced with hours of talking).
• Galaxy.
• Lots of time with three of my favorite people.

To quote my father, “What happened to your friends? They actually want to do things all of a sudden.” With all of our plans in the works, I think that this summer is going to be really awesome. As sad as I am about leaving things/people behind, this weekend was probably some of the most fun that I’ve had all year.

Also, this is completely unrelated, but for some reason I decided to go through the teachers section of the yearbook, and look at their degrees and whatever. And you know, everyone’s like BA from URI, other good level school in the United States, blah blah blah. And  then you get to Mr. White at the very end and its like BA Oxford; MA Oxford. Like what? No, that’s not ok. Why do you work here? You are like a freaking genius! And I always say this/think this about him, but seeing it in print was just like what? GAH! I love him so much. He is so smart. OK, now that I’ve bored you enough I guess I’ll just post this.

When you come home to four ladies cleaning your house and screaming at each other in Portuguese. Then you hide in your room and turn on things that make loud noises and close your door, and you can still hear the screaming Portuguese ladies. Also, I just hate when my mother has housecleaners come in general I find it to be an invasion of privacy, but whatever.

I cannot even fathom this right now.

Church was sad. All the people are too sick or too old or dead or simply too apathetic for church. On Easter sunday that is. Something that my family always talks about is how Armenian hymns sound like Armenians who are always in a constant state of mourning over the past. On the other hand, Armenians always seem hopeful, and connected by a special bond. Today, I didn’t feel that way. I only felt the mourning. And my family is just as at fault for this as anyone else is. People have lost all caring and that is very sad. Later we went to the cemetery to plant flowers. Today was always my grandmother’s favorite holiday and I couldn’t help but feel that without her a special part of Easter was lost today. Today was a sad day to be an Armenian Christian.

original trilogy marathon. Not much can get better than that. I’ve officially decided that other people cannot bring me down, and it’s goin to make me much happier. I’m just gonna be happy and have a good time like I did today.

I hate high school. It is preposterous. It just puts teenagers into a box where they can fester and worry about minuscule things of little to no significance at all. It causes people to worry about social status and crushes and monotony for absolutely no reason. And then you realize that there is actually a world that matters and that your childish problems mean absolutely zero in the real world and you feel like even more of a loser for worrying about said lousy problems in the first place. Like, the fate of my family rests in my hands, and only my hands, and I can’t sleep over far less significant things, but I can push this major fact out of my head for months at a time. And then, I walk next door, and everything floods back and there is perspective and responsibility and the expectation of being a real functioning member of society and my family and legacy and you realize that nothing but that should matter, but of course, Monday will come and all that will concern me is what happened in school, and who’s gossiping about who. It’s utter crap that society subjects us to for absolutely no reason, and it makes fools of us all.
