Right now I'm listening to Granian. I heard them/him (it used to be a them, now it's just a him) first a while ago while I was at northern lights for another concert. They played a grainian album in between sets. Afterward I asked the sound guy who it was, but owing to relative loudness of the place, I thought he had said, "Radian", and therefore I had no luck in finding any of their music. But last week I was reading metroland and Granian was mentioned. For some reason I immediately knew that it was the group I had been looking for. Today I downloaded some of their songs and I'm listening to them now. Exciting stuff.

Perhaps i should say why i feel that precipice is a fitting title for this little gem of a blog. The end of senior year is a precipice of sorts, going off to college, sink or swim, fly or fall. There is danger and opportunity. Which will win out? Will the coming months and years bring happiness or sorrow? The cliff is in front of me, and it's my turn to jump. I wish I could back away and run back home, but I cannot, I have to do this whether I like it or not, It's just that I'm not so sure if I even want it to go well...

There are certain people whom i just can't bear to leave. We are all going in different directions and it saddens me immensely. As much as I yearn for the day when i am free of my torture-chamber of a school, I wish those days could last forever so i wouldn't have to give up all the people I love for an uncertain unknown that I have very mixed feelings concerning. On the one hand, I think it will be a great adventure with lots of chances to meet new people and make new friends, but on the other hand, i don't want to betray my old friends. I know we will always remember each other and we will always keep in touch, but will we always be this close? That is what scares me silly. I like what i have now and i don't want it to change. I couldn't imagine friends better than the ones i have and I don't want to. But there it is.

I just wrote a quite long and involved entry about philosophy and religion and many other things. I thought it was quite good. The internet mosntser ate it and laughed, at which point i was quite dissapointed. Now I am lacking in the morale to write again as my next attempt would doubtless be not as good as the last...ugh.

According to Websters New Universal Unabridged Dictionary, which i keep at my beside for light reading, precipice is defined in the following way:
1. a cliff with a vertical, near vertical or overhanging face.
2. a situation of great peril
derived from the latin, praecipitium, for steep place
