"is your life mellow?" she asks me.
"no it's not", i say with an awkward chuckle. "well, actually, i guess it kind of is... if you discount all the homework i have, i guess it is pretty mellow".
mellow: –adjective
1. soft, sweet, and full-flavored from ripeness, as fruit.
2. well-matured, as wines.
3. soft and rich, as sound, tones, color, or light.
5. friable or loamy, as soil.
6. mildly and pleasantly intoxicated or high.
ya know what is interesting? none of those definitions fit the connotation of "sufer dude, going with the flow, lacking of excitment" that mellow has come to mean.
so.... is my life sweet? full-flavored? yes! i'm finally coming to the point in my life when my dreams are starting to come true! my life is ripe! ready to burst!
is my life well-matured? well... that's to be debated but us christison's aren't exactly known for our maturity :)
is my life soft and rich? rich, i would say definitely. not in the money sort of way, but in the fulfilling "i've got so much going on" sort of way. my life is full of friends, good books, good causes, and slim fast! that is about as rich as you can get i think!
is my life friable or loamy? well... i dont know....i dont think i quite know what those words mean (oh! don't you love it when you need to look up the words in the definition of a word you are looking to define? hehehe oh life!)
and last but not least, is my life mildly intoxicated? well..... some people will say i get a little loopy when im running off a lack of sleep. and in high school, i used to always say: "heck yes i'm high, high on LIFE!" clever i know!
so for the first time, in what is probably forever, i would say my life is mellow. and im quite content with that.
