Yes, I’m Still Here
For those of you hoping to find an amusing or deeply provocative post today, I warn you now, this is not to be. This post is dedicated to providing anyone who cares with updated information regarding the life and times of Peter. These are the kind of posts I personally avoid reading on other blogs, mainly because ‘updates’ usually translates to ‘trivial matters incessantly whined about because only people as intimate with the whiner as, say, their tape-worm, would really care to hear about.’ I will try my utmost to avoid a retelling of all my personal woes, and instead relate various occurrances in my life you might actually care about. This should be a short post.
Another semester of college down, and only three to go. It’s mildly terrifying to think that in a year and a half, I will actually have no choice but to face the real world. Facing the real world implies having a degree, getting a job, working full-time, living on my own, and-if I’m very lucky-getting married. This worries me as last time I checked, I am definitely not an adult. Anyone who knows me can vouch for this. I’m pretty sure it will take an act of God to transform me from a smelly adolescent into someone with an active idea of what the word ‘responsibility’means.
Speaking of the getting married part, I’m sure you’ve all heard by now that I’m engaged. Her name is Elizabeth, and the wedding is set for July 17th. It will be a private affair at the Light’s Hope Chapel, an EPL affiliate.
Man, I wish I could see the look on your face as you read that. I am sure it was priceless. I am, of course, very much kidding about the engagement. However, I am still dating Elizabeth, who continues to be an absolutely wonderful influence on my life. If anyone has noticed improvements in my civility or manner in general, you probably have her to thank. It’s strange…besides final exams, she is the only force on the planet that causes me to voluntarily quit playing World of Warcraft (a game to which I am hopelessly addicted). She does not even have to ask me; she just shows up at my door, and suddenly I find myself closing down my computer and heading out to be social with her. Truly a terrifying power this woman has over me. And yet, I have never been happier.
My Christmas break has been quite enjoyable. Family and friends continue to welcome me back, somehow managing to keep smiles on their faces as they greet me. Was there an acting class everyone took that I didn’t know about, because if I did not know better, I’d think you guys were happy to see me. I have even been invited to a few parties, which worries me. Actively encouraging me to join a social setting without even the requirement of a paper bag over my head calls into question the sanity of the hostess.
A final point of interest is that I have been doing some serious writing as of late. For a creative writing class I took last semester, I really went to town on an original short story. I also wrote some poetry, which was amazingly well recieved. I will be posting this work on my site. If you are curious, look for it in the pages section of the site. I am actually rather proud of the story, and I would love to know what you all think of it.
Until next time (when hopefully I will have something worthwhile to write) happy New Years to everyone. Peace.

Cousin Peter,
Glad you took my advice this week and wrote another blog. You were past due! I’m sorry you detected the fact that we’ve been taking acting lessons to try to look pleased to see you. Apparently it wasn’t all together convincing, but we need credit for trying.
Have a happy and successful new year. I will continue to seek out other musings from Peter the Great!

Don’t bash the acting lessons, they cost us big bucks. Just enjoy it before we decide to ditch the whole thing altogether.

hey, I technically caught it first. I just had to ask to make sure. I was hoping to find a deeply provocative post about burning crusade today, but no such luck. How about tomorrow?

Well Peter, the amount of information we get out of this blog is pretty pathetic. Almost as bad as mine.

This really is becoming a disgrace to bloggers everywhere.

Yes, it is somewhat sad. And remember to bring what I told you to bring back.

I’ll vouch for my brother and say he IS busy with school work. Except for the minor fact Tim told me he played 13 hours straight a couple days ago.

Peter will return in 8 days. He also told me he will write a post when he gets back, because he’s tired of writing currently. And now, since I said that and you all know, he will have to write one. Hopefully…………………… maybe
