Plans and recent legislation

In all honesty, I can't wait for high school to end. It could be the promise of freedom, the escape into a new setting, or simply the want of a decent night's sleep for once, but I've grown to have a severe distaste for high school. It's probably just the ignorance.

Rant aside, I'm planning on going somewhere in-state, preferably upstate, though my chances are slim. I'd love to explore the world, but not until I've explored whats already so close first(and also not until I've become a lot more worldly, meaning a few more languages). Difficulty is majoring in a somewhat safe bet, biology, or pursuing something I'd really much rather like to spend time with. I'm also contemplating journalism.

On to another topic.

I've found it amazing how a state had been banning "cheery: bright and pleasant; promoting a feeling of cheer" marriages for so long. I don't see the problem honestly. Two living people of the same species are usually subject to that odd, abstract and horribly inexplicable idea of love, so why restrict it? We're all somewhat punished for falling into it, so why keep one of the few joys of love restricted. It was simply a matter of equal rights, no longer of race but of mind.

And this shouldn't be hard at all:
"And the news reports on the radio
said it was getting worse
cause the ocean air found the flame.
but I couldn't think there was anywhere
I would have rather been
to watch it all burn away."

a ta santé mon brave

"Life without absinthe? I cannot imagine it! For me it would be impossible! I should hang, drown or shoot myself into infinitude, out of sheer rage at the continued cruelty and injustice of the world — but with the divine nectar of Olympus I can defy misfortune and laugh at poverty, as though they were the merest bagatelles! Come! — to your health, mon brave! Drink with me! "
— Marie Corelli
