I’m in class right now, but Dante and I are chatting on Google Docs (as usual), and he summed life up pretty fantastically just now, so I thought I’d share the conversation:
Me: So how are you?
Dante: lol hehehe. I am er bored on a grand scale?
Me: I agree. Class needs to start so I can leave. At least you get to go home soon. 
… oh dear. Ok.
Dante: I meant bored with life as a whole. I’m almost always bored generally.
Me: Ah. Well, there is that, too. I… yeah, let’s just go with I know what you mean.
Dante: I hate the internet here, it keeps kicking me off and having me restart this computer over and over and over and over. Anyways yea, bored.:/
Me: yeah. I know. I don’t know why I haven’t dropped out of school yet. I really don’t.
Dante: Well your about done with a portion of it. No point stopping now at least.
Me: I know. That’s what I keep telling myself.
Dante: Besides its not THAT bad. . . .
Me: It IS.
Dante: lol I know. In my purest pessimistic form its a waste of time, energy, money and patience. The mere fact that you seem to be forced to do this to get anywhere in life, generally, is a good example of why I am so bored with this life, world in fact. Unless you are a genius, a prodigy, luck the fuck out or are born into riches you are a college student. For the general populous its college or dead end. YOUR saving grace is that if you had not gone to college you would probably never have met [the Boychik], I however have no such saving grace. College sucks.
Amen, and preach it!

I’m not bored, like, ever. It’s called an anxiety disorder. Do you guys want some? ;o) P.S. Out of curiosity: what are you planning to do after you graduate?
If you can believe it, I’m bored right THROUGH anxiety. Not the disorder-variety, but… I am stressing out like crazy. Constantly. And I am still so BORED with what I’m doing. It’s contradictory but I don’t know how else to explain it.
After graduation… I’m going to at least apply to graduate school for journalism. The last thing I want is more school, but having a master’s degree would be nice, and I understand it’s easier to get one while I’m still in school mode than to go back later and get it. If I don’t get in… I’ll be job-searching, really. I would LOVE to write for a magazine like Wired, Animerica, Alternative Press, Rolling Stone… I’d love to do feature writing. So hopefully there’s that in my future.
For what it’s worth, I think you’d make a great writer. Your posts are smart, eloquent, vibrant and insightful, what more could Rolling Stone ask for?
