This journal thing... I never post in... so for once, I'm going to use it!!!
Beware, this could get philosophical/strange/serious and all of the above.

It's quiet this evening. I'm kinda tired... kinda bored. I know I have to decide how I'm going to do my hair tomorrow for prom but I'm still procrastinating. I really don't want to wake up tomorrow morning either. I have an SAT that I'm completely unprepared for. And all I'm worried about is having to wake up early for it. Silly aren't I? I suppose that's the way things go sometimes.
It's so quiet in the house though. It's raining outside. I can hear it on the roof. I've always loved the rain. Do you think it's strange to love those days where the world looks so bleak beneath dark stormy clouds? Those days that you should just curl up in bed and sleep, so warm nestled beneath the blankets? Those days that you should just cancel all your plans and read a good book?
Yeah... Well, I think those kinds of days are perfect. They offer you some time to slow down and relax. Although they come few and far between.
However, I ought to be cleaning. I ought to be doing something in preparation for my day tomorrow. But instead I'm sitting here listening to the parakeets fuss at each other, watching the rain come down, and typing my thoughts out in a journal online.
What would you be doing? Where would you be and what would you do right now if you had the chance? Would you be making memories with friends, family maybe? Would you be hoping on a plane to some foreign country? Would you be on a roller coaster in an amusement park having so much fun feeling like you're going to puke? Or would you be sitting here at a desk...? Thinking about life and what you are going to do tomorrow.
What I guess I'm trying to express is that time to enjoy yourself and de-stress is important but, don't let consume your every day. Don't let the world just go by you. Go out and do something important tonight. Do something crazy/fun/life changing/special/that makes you happy. Don't let the quiet nights be wasted. Cherish what time you have.

Life is a series of moments. Make them worth something.
