2/13/12 – Monday (Blog #44)

Great… tomorrow’s ‘Single Awareness’ day, or Valentine’s Day for all you couples out there. I don’t have anything against couples or the day or love or any of that, it just sucks for everyone else that has to watch two people going at it, eating each other’s faces out, in front of the crowd. I’m happy for you all that manage to find others out there, but keep that in private, because we don’t want to see it.

I’m pretty sure I don’t have a Valentine’s, which isn’t as sad as I thought it would be. I spent 2 years of my high school career, freshman and sophomore, with my girlfriend, so I didn’t really see why Valentine’s seemed so important. But since we broke up, my junior and this year, my senior year, I see why people hate being alone. But, don’t complain if you’re alone on Valentine’s days, everyone, because it’s not the end of the world. That’s still 10 months away. Yes, that’s a Mayan apocalypse joke thing.

Anyways, I spent the day pretty much playing Starcraft 2 with my friends. We managed to get into the Platinum league for 4v4, which is pretty amusing. I’m about high gold/low platinum in my 1v1 league, but I purposely dropped myself down to the silver league so I can farm my profile pictures. Yeah, I know, it seems stupid, but I’m also having fun playing random and trying to learn new tactics to use later on. Once I get all the portraits that I want, I’ll probably play to actually get better. I play random, so everyone expects to be cheesed, or basically cheap plays, but I never do that, and play cleanly.

For some reason, earlier today, I was thinking about if my parents are ever lonely. My father works every day, so he’s almost never home until dinner, and the same with my mom. My brother just stays home all day, playing games and smoking and being with his girlfriend. I’m either home playing games or going out with friends. That means I rarely see my parents at all. It sometimes makes me sad, but if I try to think about their perspective, it’s even worse. I really want to spend more time with my parents, but I also have to do my own things, such as studying, homework, and have time to myself.

I’ll probably start on my homework after typing this up. I have to do physics, two literary study guides, and I think that’s it. It shouldn’t take me that long, since I’m always procrastinating on things much harder. I’m pretty much done typing for today, since I’m bored, so I’ll go check out some more stuff online or talk to people. Thanks for reading and continuing to support me. Happy Valentine’s day tomorrow, everyone.
