how crazy your life is? Like, how everything can totally fall into place? How you can get your hopes so high, and even though there is a chance that they will be crushed, you are so ecstatic at the idea of adventure that you can't imagine it not working out? You get so set on a goal, that you HAVE to make happen. You NEED it to work out, or you don't know what you'll do. If you aren't living life with goals that you sometimes imagine "to good to be true," you aren't living to your full potential, because as corny as it sounds...if you want something bad enough, you will find a way to get it.
One of the biggest things I hear quite often about myself is that I am a "do-er." That I'm a "go getter." That I "march to the beat of my own drum." That I make these "crazy plans" like deciding to move out of state, leaving my school and a well paying job, friends,family, and a month and a half later I'm on an airplane heading to Washington. Why, you ask? Why not, I say. I may be broke, and not have a car, and fall down in the snow while trying to read (see my previous post) but at least I'm enjoying my life. At least I find excitment often. At least when this year is over, I will be able to say that 2009 was the year of adventure.
So make plans, kids. GO CRAZY (well not that crazy...)!
WEELLLLL ANYWAYS, completely unrelated to this topic butttt:
Yesterday I started and finished one of the greatest books I have ever read. It's those authors who know how to make you care for and love a character, that when the book is over, you feel like you know them. You get sad at the fact that this is fiction, and that this isn't a real person. I'm not talking "Twilight" status and being in love with "omgg the amazing Edward Cullen". I enjoyed reading that book, it was entertaining...but as far as the way it was written and the depth of the characters.....SUCH A CRAPPY BOOK. Anyways, if you want to discuss Twilight with me I would be more than happy to share my opinions with you.
BACK TO THE REALLY GOOD BOOK:
Looking for Alaska by John Green. Read it. Yeah, yeah it's a book about teenagers and angst and love and hate and death and pranks and summer and boarding school. It's also about the quality of life, adventure, full of good quotes, and one of those books that makes you think about the way you live.
Easily one of the best books I've ever read.....easily. I guess that's why its won all those awards....hahaha.
That's all for now, if everything works out like we have it planned so far, in summer I'll be living in a crappy apartment, eating top ramen, while I document a video about the rats running through the building. (Just kidding about the rats....I hope). We'll see where the road of life takes us! :)
Do you sometimes ever wonder

The last line in your first paragraph is true.
As for being crazy, I say if you can do it. Before long life is going to stab you in the chest and pull you down with burdens, pain, bills, and sadness. Keep going before it is to late and you become a jaded worker bee.
As for books hmm I might have to look up this book. Thanks for the heads up. I think I am starting on Twilight soon I will be able to agree or debate with you. :P
