Nearing the End

It seems the New Year is nearly here... 16 Days to go!!
It's weird in a way. It feels like nothing's really happened, like nothing has actually changed. When I was younger, I always thought a New Year meant at Fresh Start, but it really isn't so. Time just doesn't get set back every New Year. Life doesn't re-start either. All our messes, and issues are still there.
I can look back on this last year and tell you how it has been better/worse than the previous years. This year I've been lonelier. I don't exactly have friends in school, and the friends I do have I talk to online, mostly. (I love you guys!!). Also, I dislike school a lot more. Yesterday, for instance, I was walking Home with my Nina ( a girl with whom I am working on an Algebra project) and we were discussing how our school is anything but the place you get excited about. i don't think I have been remotely excited for high school. in fact, I dread it. I dread class. I dread lunch time. I dread having to sit there surrounded by complete morons. Most of all, I dread math class, because I have got the worst teacher ever.
However, this year has been better than others in the sense that I have a clearer understanding of a lot of things. I have discovered a lot of things I had never known existed, and I love them. I discovered HelloGiggles.com which is a really easy, quirky site for "strong, independent females". I discovered Rookie (rookiemag.com) which is another site aimed mainly at women, although it focuses more on teen-aged girls. I have discovered awesome people like Tavi Gevinson, Editor-in-chief of Rookie, and Carole King, and M. Ward and Frank Sinatra. I have discovered the joys of Tumblr. And most recently actual blogs.
As we near the end of this odd year, 2011, I would like to get this blog going. It will obviously be about Books, who are often my best friends, Bones, which is more than a 'weird' TV show, because it is a source of inspiration (both fanfic-wise as well as life-wise), and the Scattered thouughts that litter my head on a daily basis.
