hi,
it's been a really long time since i've made a post here. the majority of this blog was written during my sophomore year while i attended raleigh charter high school. the posts directly below this one were made over the following summer, and during the beginning of my junior year when i began attending the north carolina school of science and math. it's been almost two years since my last post.
i have changed a lot in the interim. i'm now a senior about to graduate from high school. i've got a slightly improved handle on puncutation these days. i'm suddenly (hah) queer. i generally (try to) take myself a lot less seriously. i think i'm a bit happier than i once was--or more willing to admit it.
it's really quite strange, though. as i look back on these blog entries and think about who i am now, it would seem that i've become a lot like that person who i wanted so badly to be two years ago. i listen to the obscure music. i watch the obscure films. i read the "great" books. i delight in kitsch with appropriate levels of irony and earnestness. i have lots of wonderful, interesting friends. i've learned lots of wonderful, interesting things. and i'm on my way to columbia university in the city of new york next fall.
i guess that gives me hope for the future.
it also makes me wonder about the things that i want, and the ways in which i want them. my whole life i've worked very hard at constructing the person that i am, but, ultimately, getting to where i am now hasn't been very hard. and even though i like who i am a lot, i don't know if the pursuit is very fulfilling.
but that's okay. i'm at a point of transition, just as i was when i stopped making posts here. i don't really know what brought me back. i've read through the archives a few times in the past two years, but i've never felt the need to make another entry before now.
anyway, feel free to take a look around. there was a time when i couldn't have said that. there was a time when this place was a lot more than just my drawing board. i don't want to apologize for it, even if 10th grade robert embarrasses the hell out of 12th grade robert. it's nice to see how i've grown. it's nice to know that i've always got room to grow. and it's nice to know that, years from now, a different robert will have a picture of himself at two periods of his growth rather than one. so try not to laugh too hard at the bad poetry, please.
anyway, here's looking at you, kid.
