what's really good ninjaaahh? (emphasis on them Hs)

So it's the morning, which is kindof the only time I get to myself here, which I have no problem with, it's just that I don't get many moments to post :P either it's really late at night (right after matt goes to sleep and right before I go to sleep) or we're busy doing something. I really enjoy it here, mad amounts of fun, of course, but I miss being in the city and seeing everyone there that I care about. My phone has zero reception here, except when we drive past the airport on our way to somewheres.... Yesterday I saw district 9. It was amazing. Maybe the best movie I've seen in recent times (newly released). It was as good as Moon no question. AMAZING. Peter Jackson pulled through again, Lotr, and now District 9. I recommend any and all to go see it NOW. Still can't wrap my mind around how epic it was. At the movie theater we (matt and I) ran into Will and Sarah and Will's family (mom+step-dad+bro). So we'll prolly chill with them at some point. Made me really think about all the ppl who I'm not going to see very much of and not going to spend much time with who I really enjoy chilling with, like those two. Will's been a housemate for 4 years, and we both chill and play games and smoke a little, I think we weren't friends for a while because we're a little too similar, but now that we've started to grow our different ways we've started to enjoy each others company. Sarah's just fun, who doesn't like a frenchy? :P don't answer that. It was nice/weird to see Dalton people. And they really are just people who I know from seeing them at Dalton. I'm trying to figure out for myself what life will be like at RPI, even though there's no way of knowing yet, so I'm just spinning my mental wheels without determining anything, frustrating, but I can't do anything about it, my brain's on autopilot. I've been chilling with Rach a bunch too, she's really great and I'm going to miss my little sis even though I'll see her a lot and talk to here muchos, I've watched her grow up and in a lot of ways really been an older brother who she can talk to about things that she can't with Matt (I've always wanted a little sister, my parents just didn't follow through). We had a whole conversation about boys and girls (seems to always come up ya?) Because she's never had a real boyfriend, just flings or "being together"s, nothing official. Of course I'm the leading expert on longterm relationships, because I've had so many of them I don't know what to do with myself.... >.< But I know a little about the way guys work. I said she really needs some good guy friends, which I know can be hard to find for a girl, the points I really enjoyed about the conversation were things I sortof came to realize about the way I interact with girls, that all my relationships with girls are flirtatious, regardless of whether I want to get into their pants or not, because it's not a relationship with a guy, which is very different, and of course we got to the "girls are so much more complicated" and yes they are, but it's guys' fault. Guys simply respond to the signals that girls send out. That's all. So for a dude life is simple, we just look at girls and respond (very basically), they need to figure out the exact signal to send out, or else we respond improperly, that's the real problem. That's the real basic view of things, really, really basic. But I think it holds solid under scrutiny. I've been thinking about relationships a lot;friendships, romances, mentorships, and anything else that I didn't think of. I can't wait to leave EVERYTHING behind about my old life, and look at it in a pile and pick and choose what I want to keep with me and take into my new way of living. I'm just worried that I'll miss something that's really small (don't worry friends *ahem jessi* there's no way I'd forget you) but something that I'm NOT thinking of right now, that I"ll miss without realizing it. I'm getting a little nervous about college, and I'm tired of waiting. I just want to start, and deal with the problems that come up and the things that I want to change, instead of where I'm at right now, which is just waiting and trying to figure out what all those problems will be and trying to prepare myself for them. I don't like this. But for now, I'm going to exercise my power of self-control and stop worrying about it, enjoy myself for another week before I get back, and then go to work packing up my old life (literally and emotionally/mentally) with vigor (good word, oh thanks russell, you're welcome). I'll try to throw something up everyday, it may be long or it may be not-so-long. for matt; 40 pounds.
