i always worry when people say things like "when you're young the world looks bright and full of possibilities." i'm young, and the world looks to me like it just wants to suck the youth out of me and pressure me into becoming some template so that things stay just as they are. this is supposed to be "the time of my life," and i can't really find anything better to do than sit by myself and read. i probably just need to get laid.
still, though, i'm part of a generation where even "it's all been done before" has become a cliche. is all we have to look forward to the slow decay of our bodies? bah, i'd rather do something stupid and reckless with my life.
