Lack of Inspiration Produces Exceedingly Dull Bloggings

Today isn’t a day for blogging. I feel as if my blogging inspiration won’t come back until during or after winter break. Because there is only one week left, I am beginning to feel ever so slightly restless. I am very ready for a break.

I’m excited to make a to-do list for the break, and then check everything off. I plan to finish the book I’m reading, The Stranger by Albert Camus. I checked it out from the school library for a project, and its just about the coolest book I’ve ever had my hands on besides my Natural History illustrated textbook type thing from 1952 and my 1893 edition of Alice in Wonderland (that I got for a steal at 27 bucks plus tax on eBay, and that I have yet to finish reading, which I will also do over the break).

Anyway, this book has been checked out from Clark High School’s library since 1967, which is incredible in itself. Just imagine how many hands it has passed through… and it has that genuine old-book smell, which is nice. The cover is a lovely limeish green with a sixties kind of pattern. It contains twisted annotations that would send any AP Lang/Comp teacher into cardiac arrest: crossed out words because the reader felt their word choices were more appropriate, and other thoughts containing one “April Butterfield” and a statement about her physical attractiveness to the wielder of the writing utensil. I wonder where April Butterfield is now, how old she is, and the like. Is it possible that the anonymous admirer and Ms. Butterfield have consequently married? Who knows.

I also plan to do more art-related stuff because I haven’t drawn a picture in what feels like a long time. I’ve been too busy lately to be creative, so hopefully that will change this winter break. I would also like to make more bracelets because my favorite hemp bracelet broke recently, so I need to make another one to replace it.

My family and I are attending a Manheim Steamroller Christmas concert thing tonight, which is pretty cool… I’m curious to see how they operate live, because I’ve always been particularly fond of their Christmas songs. I should probably be getting ready to go to that at this very moment. But who wants to read about that, really?

I dislike writing about whatever I would like to do because I find it to be hopelessly boring and completely pointless to any reader. However, I could be wrong. Maybe I have thousands of dedicated fans out there somewhere that are just dying to know my Winter Break to do list is. Until my blog inspiration comes back, these lackluster musings will have to do.
