She said yes.
After all this time, after everything that should have happened, didn't happen, and did happen, she says yes.
Resignation to the end, huh?
Just like the Vietnamese soldier who kept on walking down the trail into the mist, headed to a village called 'My Khe'.

Carpe Diem
I've been ignoring the blog for a while. I logged into it randomly today to find that I've been getting hits, but no comments. Who the hell is reading this? Probably just random people, passing by. The internet it a big place, you know.
Anyways, I probably should have never stopped in the first place. I like to have a place to spill out all my useless thoughts. Facebook/Twitter just don't cut it..
Carpe Diem. If there is anything I can say has had a true impact on me from AP Literature, it is this concept. It's a Latin phrase that roughly translates to 'Seize the Day'. It's a theme that was at the core of a lot of Romantic Era Literature. It's pretty simple. I love it.
Unfortunately, I haven't been seizing my days very much till recently. And even then, I've only begun to take baby steps. Whether is is regarding my school, hobbies, health, or relationships, I'm ready to make the most out of it. I'm sick of seeing opportunities pass by because I've involved my self in the wrong stuff. From today, I'm kicking out all the junk. I'm glad to say I've already started the process.
Still, the only thing that hurts is that every day, I have to have a banner of missed opportunity waved in front of me. I guess it's for the better. Anger is a strong emotion that can motivate people to do great things.
I could write so much more about this. Right now I feel like spilling out my soul somwhere, like Tim O'Brien did at the river on the border of Canada and the US, (speaking of which, you should all read 'The Things They Carried' by O'Brian.), I want to get rid of this weight that's been sitting on my mind for months. But right now I'm too tired. I suppose that the fact that I came back to this blog is good enough for tonight. Baby steps. Plus, I have lot's for deficit homework to do :P.
