Nicky and I went to the mall today and then we ate and came back home. I bought a sweater that's kind of cute from PacSun. I let Nicky put it on and he ended up falling asleep and Liam cuddled up next to him. It was the most adorable thing I had seen all day. Nicky just looked so innocent and sweet; but, he was hot when he woke up... and itchy. So, he pulled the sweater off and threw it on my head and his hair was all messy. It was... aww. It was adorable. Now he's reading his book and Liam is cuddling with me. I think he really likes the sweater, which, now smells like Nicky and cats. Two best smells ever. Wizard.
Nicky and I are turning into regular mall rats. Almost every weekend lately... but, it's hasn't lost it's flair yet. There are just too many peculiar people to see and watch. We got Chinese at the mall so that was great... I hadn't had Chinese in forever; neither had Nicky.
I have a three-page paper to write... for Monday. Ah well. I haven't even really picked a topic yet, but it'll probably surround Harry Potter. That's pretty much my go-to topic when I can't think of anything else.
Speaking of Harry Potter, I've been listening to a lot of wizard rock lately. That's a genre of music based off of Harry Potter, if you don't know and... it's wonderful. Gred & Forge is probably my favorite band of what I have in my collection, but Harry & the Potters are good, as well as Draco & the Malfoys and The Remus Lupins.
After I finish this post, I'm going to make some tea and probably have some toast with that. I haven't been feeling well lately and tea with toast sounds better than anything anymore. Besides the Chinese earlier, it's all I've been eating with the occasional grapefruit to get some Vitamin C.
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about what I want to do with my life post-college. I had several idea that I liked and felt were in my ability to accomplish yet still challenging.
- Filmmaker- I really like this one. I've been really into film and learning about it recently. Next semester at my school, there's a class on digital filmmaking. I plan on taking it and hopefully that will either reassure me or tell me that I'm not fond of that path.
- Restauranteur- What? Yeah, haha. It's funny, ebcause I was honestly joking when I first started thinking about this. I had been eating so much toast and drinking so much tea that I was like, I should just open a little cafe that serves breakfast foods. Then, I got to thinking aobut it and it really blossomed into a full-fledged career path. Tea, coffee, espresso, smoothies, and other things like milk and juice with toast, french toast, muffins, bagels, eggs, scones, etc. Then, I had an expansion idea... there could be shelves of books for people to read and/or buy and perhaps an area where local musicians could play. The idea is too hipster to fail.
- Artist- Yeah. I actually had to think of this one. I kind of want to see if I can make it just on my art alone. Of course, for that to work, I have to figure out what "my art" is exactly and who my target audience would be... that will come in time, I expect. I have three years to figure it out, anyway.
- Journalist/writer- I've been hearing that journalism is dead now, thanks to the blogosphere. I don't think that that's necessarily true. Newspapers my be outdated and dead now, but people will always want a reliable source for the facts. Blogs are often too biased to give that, and it's not to the fault of the bloggers. I have several blogs and on them, I say whatever I want. It doesn't make it always true, nor does it mean that anyone should take it seriously. Journalism, when one disregards the corruption of it, gets the facts out their in an allegedly non-biased way with skill. However, if I'm wrong and journalism is dead, writing will never be. I can still commentate through books. I've been trying out writing my memoirs of my teenage years lately. So far I haven't been very successful; at least, not in achieving the tone I'm looking for. I still have the rest of my life to do it though. So, that's good. I've also thought a lot about writing narrative/informative essays in book form. So, that's something to consider as well... and I always have my poetry to fall back on.
- Musician/Songwriter- This is weird for me. I never really considered being a musician as a "career" or even as a serious hobby. But, lately I've been thinking about it and it kind of makes sense for me to put a bit of time into it. I write a lot of songs and I play the piano well, so, why not? Even if it's just a hobby, it could still be fun.
Anyway, I'm hungry and thirsty and still feeling a cold on me... so I'mma go do that.
