What note do I end on, again...?

Journal Entry: Thu May 15, 2008, 3:23 PM
Hello.

I just had one of those experiences, where you're just moseying along, nothing to it and all that and in the middle of a conversation you suddenly just want to lean on something and remind yourself where you are and what you're doing.

Does that make any sense? I can't really describe it, but I feel like a pompous ass saying "Lookit me! I just had a life-changing revelation! Wheee!"

I was just walking back from dinner and I found myself saying goodbye to Scott, since he's leaving tomorrow.

Who the hell is Scott, anyway? He lives a few floors up and eats dinner with us, still not really sure how to pronounce his German-ish last name the way he does, and he's oddly endearingly mysterious. But he's always lived a few floors up, and he's always been there at dinner, and he's always being cynical with the rest of us when the fire drill goes off.

I don't know why it hit me as I was walking down that awkward little half-stairway from Ross proper into Hadley and he was going to the real stairwell, but we just kind of shot off a casual goodbye and good summer, then my face pinched up (probably really unattractive, that) and it dawned on me, "Wait...see you... Senior year?!"

It was different from all my fellow Japanese majors etc. since, in the words of the Great and Powerful Zack "You'll all be in the same country! And it's a small country! Stop complaining!" and we've been excited about this together all year. It was different from my freshman buddies because I know they'll have an awesome time together and they'll be off to Japan the year after us and we're definitely going to stay in touch.

But what about the Scotts in my life? The people I see all the time, but don't really keep up with? The ones who share no part in this experience, and who I likely as not won't stay in touch with? Will he still live a few floors up and show up to dinner and wear shorts during fire alarms when I get back? Will he even be here, and if he is, will it matter?

It's not like graduating high school, where you leave and you know you won't see most of these people ever again. It's going away knowing you're going to come back and not be the same person, re-meet people who won't be the same people, and maybe one or two Scotts will just get forgotten altogether.

It's kind of sad, really. I'm going to try to keep track of the Scotts in my life. But I don't know how much it'll change.

I suppose the same can be said for Middlebury. I love this place, and I'm sad to be leaving it for a year. And I know I won't be the same when I come back; I'll be a Senior, I'll have seen Tokyo at New Year, and spent my first birthday without seeing my family at all.

Funny how things can sneak by you when they haven't even happened yet.

I love reading, and since being introduced to Transformers about a year and a half ago, I've thrown myself headlong into the deep end. The one problem there is with having so much to read is that I don't sleep. The only thing that stopped me from reading it all in one go was looking at my watch and going 'Three in the morning already? I really should sleep. Hmm...one more chapter...'.

More!
~OblivionMasquerade:iconOblivionMasquerade: Jan 17, 2008, 2:43:43 PM
Awesome! Thanks for watching, O Mighty Hatted One. It's always great to nab some TF fans over here too. :boogie:
~almightyhat:iconalmightyhat: Jan 17, 2008, 2:06:26 AM
Wandered over from ff.net, and I'll be adding you to my watch list as soon as DevArt sees fit to cooperate. Hi!
~OblivionMasquerade:iconOblivionMasquerade: Jan 16, 2008, 11:12:22 AM
Oh good! I'm glad you like it. :dance:

And thanks for popping over! I'm really new on DevArt, so it's always nice to hear from an FF reader.

Catching up 54 chapters in must have been intense! Finding 80,000 word fics in other authors' Favs is always good for some late-night reading in my book.

I hope you're strapped in tight and ready for more, because TB isn't even halfway done! :hungry:

Hello. I followed over from your FF.net page. Found Transmission Breakdown about two weeks ago (linking through favourites of favourites of favourites of some other people whose stuff I read), and I am greatly enjoying it.

Good thing Unicron doesn't have saliva. You'd have oceans! XD :giggle:

OKay, okay, I promise I won't mention brownies, cake, donuts or truffles anymore :innocent:

Drooling is so undignified... :drool:

Unicron: Your gifts please me.


HAHA! Yes, you figured out that oil is a chocolate equivalent! ^_________^; Rust is kinda like powdered sugar, that white stuff on donuts that kinda melts in your mouth, yummmmmm. I tried to think textures while my mind was adding in the flavor equivalents.

*is making herself hungry* :P
