So, first blog ever. It's kind of intimidating, but will probably help me flesh my randomn thoughts and theories out. I tend to use people for this sort of thing, but perhaps this will be less confusing for my friends:} As such, allow me a caveat: Most of the things I write here, unless stated otherwise, are merely general musings, rather than something I've decided/believe.

Anyway, something that's been occupying my mind a lot lately, and consequently some of the conversations with some friends, is the almost control I have over my own emotions. It seriously kind of freaks me out sometimes. In general, I believe it to be a good thing, but still...An example. My grandma died recently. It was sad, but oddly enough, people were more sad for me than I was for myself. I was more sad in a technical sort of way. Like I said, creepy. Heck, I joked about the corpse with my sister at the funeral. Sure, I'm not exactly proud of that, but it shows what I mean. Additionally, however, sadness is not the only emotion I have almost total control over. It runs the whole gamut. Happyness, depression, anxiety...heck, even love. Although more falling out of than falling into. But that's a whole different subject for another time. Things that I see other people get depressed about or down because of or anything of that nature...they don't touch me. It's like they're in a different world. Even crazier, I wasn't always this way. I can't pinpoint it, but I think something just happend, or clicked, or switched, or something. About two years ago or so, by my way of thinking. I can't help but wonder what triggered it. Ah well. This is getting long.

Reading: Mistborn, Brandon Sanderson
Listening: Lollipop, Mika
Mood: Contemplative

Think I've seen other people do that at the ends of blogs. I kind like it.

Yeah, what's wrong with you?
Join the emo revolution...stop denying your angst.
Actually, I never thought of you as cold or anything. Why is you thinking two years ago?

And yes, the above incorrect use of "is you" is intentional, and meant to sound "hip" and "cutesy".

Oh, I'm not cold in a mean sort of way, just...it's odd that things don't affect me. I mean, I'll get angry or sad on behalf of friends, but almost never because of my own life. Shoot, even with friends it's not to the degree that other people do. And as for two years ago...well, like I said, I can't really pin down why, but around two years or so ago something just switched, or clicked, or whatever. It's about the time I started dating a lot too. Wish I knew the reason...

You and me both... It was about two years ago for me too but I know the reason. haha. ...probably not a very good one though. ;) I'm glad to see your thoughts on... paper? It's comforting to read your words.

Hullo

This is Maddison- that random chick whom you met in Utah in the company of Ashley and Jenny.

Good to see you joining the blogosphere- I've got an even NERDIER version over at Livejournal.

Cheers.
