Procrastination..
There's less than three weeks left before school begins, and I've yet to begin my summer assignment. This whole thing is quite silly, seeing as it's journaling prompts, which I enjoy. Yet for some strange reason (I'm thinking lack of motives, maybe.), I just can't even fathom my sitting down and doing them. With any luck, they will someday come up with an antidote to lethargy. For now, though, the impending due date and threatened GPA will have to suffice.
Dear You,
Let's have a metaphysical conversation, and work little smidgens of our growing knowledge of psychology in it. We can stay up all night discussing the concept of behind, and whether that rubber duckie really was eavesdropping on us, and in the morning, I'll make us french toast with nutella. Then, we'll have adventures walking along Burnt Bridge Creek, and laugh when we associate the seemingly deserted farmhouse with Beatrix Potter. I'll explain to you that place I remember being so long ago, and you'll tell me you thought you were somewhere similar one time when you didn't remember you were an infant. As the afternoon winds down, you can teach me how to ride a bike while listening to my collection of songs from bands neither of us have ever heard of. Next, I'll confide in you that most of my childhood memories seem like hallucinations, and we'll spend the rest of the night guessing why. Before the sun rises, though, we'll walk around my neighborhood eating Root Beer popsicles and converse on whether drugs should be legal, and alcohol illegal. We'll make our way back sometime around seven a.m., and just as we fall asleep, my polydactyl cat will come downstairs and fall asleep on your face. What do you say?
Sincerely, Me

I... agree?? Worthy topics of conversation, I suppose. Why do most of your childhood memories seem like hallucinations?

Sounds great! Haha.
I haven't started on my homework, either...
* wave of shame *

Ah hah! I just started on it! Typical of me, it took a while to find the packet. I wrote one out of five paragraphs! I think I'll need the course of possibly a week to finish this... my attention span seems to have drastically deteriorated since the end of school.

Miles-- I honestly don't know. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I never once felt my actual age throughout my childhood, and when I was an infant, I could've sworn I was an adolescent. Maybe my brain got caught in it's own time warp. :)
Casey-- I should probably go do that now, huh? :D
Autumn-- Thank you! I just kind of spew words onto paper (or in this instance, a blank text box) and hope they sound as eloquent as they did in my thoughts. Or something as equally mundane, so as not to let anyone catch on. I don't know, I'm crazy.

Nothing wrong with being crazy, let me tell ya.

I do beleive that the rubber ducky was indeed eavesdropping, Sam. And that the zebras knew who I was and that we weren't listening to the radio, but the radio was listening to us. And we must have an adventure that I will actually remember five minutes later. But I'm still pondering whether or not behind is behind. Hey, did you ever notice that when you look behind yourself too fast, you hurt your neck and you close your eyes for a moment until behind is there? Maybe it's because behind wasn't ready for you to look at it yet. * waits to add dramatic emphasis * We'll continue this conversation...later, for lack of a better word.

Miles-- Oh, man, do I ever know. :)
Lexi-- Yes, that radio was intuitive, and your phrasing made me smile. We will indeed continue the conversation soon.
