1 It's FRIDEEEEEEE!!!!!!! You MADE it!!!!!!!

2 <looking around>

3 In some strange way, so did I.

4 I STILL don't miss it.

5 Too busy to worry about missing anything.

6 And summertime worked awesomely this year.

7 I'm gonna love all of it while I can.

8 Yup.

9 Moving On, Part One: I woke up this morning and couldn't remember last night.

10 At least for a while.

11 We did a barbecue, and through simple division of labor, came up with a gourmet meal fit for kings and queens.

12 We laughed like crazy every three seconds, but for the life of me I can't remember any specifics, just shits and giggles that scared the meteor shower away.

13 I woke up with a sore stomach from laughing.

14 There are worse things.

15 Moving On, Part Two: I hope everyone going through the first few weeks of school are beginning to get into a comfortable rhythm. The opening is often filled with shakiness, but the first Friday is always a welcome sight.

16 Breathing room, always a plus.

17 Moving On, Part Three: I began looking over some old "To Do" lists and found that I haven't done all my to do's.

18 "Move tiles into garage..." for example. These tiles have been sitting outside our garage for a couple of months, so I wrote this down several times.

20 "Deposit strange check of over a grand that the District gave you..." That thing is going to be void after six months. It's sat there for five, and is currently in my wallet.

21 "Go through bags of pictures taken over the past twenty years and organize them into picture boxes..."

22 Uh...that is going to happen on the First of Never.

23 How come when you don't have time, you manage to get things done, but when you seemingly have all the time in the world, you enter into a "Nah" zone?

24 I don't think it's a lazy thing; I think it is a prioritizing thing.

25 The DN has a tendency to be a priority each day, but I'm finding it difficult to launch because I don't have to finish fast and get to school.

26 This lends me tons of daydreaming time, which I'm happy to spend doing just that.

27 I also find myself writing this while low-budget television shows buzz in the foreground.

28 Right now it is off, which instantly puts me back into DN mode.

29 I'll try to get better at it. My goal was always to have this thing launched by 8 a.m. at the latest.

30 It is 8:38 right now and I'm clopping along at a pretty slow pace.

31 And I don't really care.

32 How cavalier of me.

33 <Picks up dictionary and looks up the word "cavalier.">

34 Here go:

cavalier: adjective
