Procrastination? My middle name.

Here's something that is way past due. Like many things I've put it on the bottom of my list of things to do and left it waiting. Now finally, due to some inspiration, I've decided to take it upon myself and write a little something, as "Ms. Matthews" has probably been waiting for.
 The purpose of creating this blog spot was mainly from instructions of a teacher, so that she would be able to take a look at my writing. Now I'm not going to sit here and look at this as a schoolwork assignment (because than it will never get done), but more of an opportunity to share a few things on my mind, regardless of if anyone really gets anything out of it or even looks at it at all.
The other day while I was in a whole other world so to speak, and in a completely different state of mind than that of the usual I realized a few things. This particular state of mind usually occurs after a certain  event comes into action, making things come to my attention that normally wouldn't. I almost always seem to notice something new or unique about each person I am with when in this state of mind. 
One person that popped out to my attention was a boy named Justin, everything he was doing was strange and engaging to me, this probably being because it was the first time I had ever noticed it. Everything he did reminded me of an old man, in my eyes he seemed so mature and wise while only being 2 years older than me. He was different than all the other boys in the room, he seemed to have a very protective way about him. He would call me over to simply pull down my shirt so that my stomach wouldn't show, continuously sort of being my conscience when I was doing something inappropriate or stupid. He would always be the one to stop a childish fight, and explain to us something we didn't understand, in such a cool, calm and collected way. Now I can't recall if he always acts like this and I simply never noticed before, or if it was just my state of mind that seemed to emphasis these traits in him that were indeed in everyone else as well. But it was like I could see something pop out for everyone, like what they most wanted in life or how they most wanted to be viewed by others, simply in the ways that they would act with others around them.
 We all, that day, as a group formed a whole, but each person in the group contributing something different. Something like a band, with the singer, drummer, guitarist, etc. different roles making one song.
 I don't know if what I'm saying makes any sense, or maybe it in fact it happens to make complete sense. Maybe this sort of state of mind has been experienced by many others or  it could actually be totally crazy, but crazy as it might be it is also just as fascinating to see things in a different light. This creating so much more to observe and wonder while in my regular state of mind.
