Hello, as-yet-nonexistent blog buddies! (eesh, that could be contracted into bluddies)
It's 2:25 AM, July 29, 2009. I'm in a good mood! No wait, I'll hold that off for a little while in favor of some writing of a more official nature. I started this blog yesterday (also in the wee hours of the morning) because... well I dunno why exactly. Anyway, I've had a blogger account for... 1 2/3 years. However, I have never felt the need to impart my less-than-inspiring knowledge on the unwilling public. Then I decided, you don't have to be willing, I'll force it on you anyway! Muahaha. Then I realized, there is no "you" as of right now. I had might as well write to myself, in a diary or something. For the record, I already do that. I type faster than I write though (my record is 57 words per minute), so I figured a blog would be simpler for the slightly less personal deets. That there are more of. I like having records of just about everything (I am not exaggerating one jot. I save every email, note passed to me, memento, ticket, playbill, etc. that I can. I have a pretty good memory, but I like having memories easily accessible in case my brain does not oblige) and some things would take too long to write out solid, RL copies. So, even if no one else ever reads this, I at least can look back and recall. And maybe some day I will become famous by martyrdom, brilliance, or similar quality and this blog will be sold in it's original formatting on eBay for loads of money. For charities.
Anyway, back to my good mood! I recently discovered that Mika's second album is being released on my 16th birthday. And I have known for a bit of a while that the 2-hour Season 6 premiere of House (!) is the night before. Could it be more perfect? Well, yes. It could be a Saturday and Sunday instead of the Monday-Tuesday it is. Anyway, it promises to be terribly exciting. I have caught up my mom and sister on the end of the fifth season, so even though none of us have seen all the episodes so far we should be prepared to the return. And I am anticipating it strongly. Hopefully I won't experience one of the worst feelings known to humans - Antisappointment. (anticipation/disappointment. It sounds better out loud than it looks in writing. Say it. Means when you are looking forward to something and it ends up just sucking. Also can mean when you are looking forward to something sucking. Opposite definitions, based on context. One you feel once the event happens, the other you feel leading up to it. Subtle difference, really.) Anyway, about Mika, I saw the music video for the single for his upcoming album and it's very... interesting. I suppose. He is probably trying to get a message across... oh well. His music videos are always a little random. At least his music is wicked.
I'm not sure how my format of my bloggy blog will be in the future. Or even now. I guess I'll try to follow this order - Opening remarks, big news first, minor summarization of other news, and then random thoughts and closing remarks. This entry is a slight exception because it demanded an explanation at the beginning.
Here ends the first installment of what will likely dissolve as an un-updated blog lost to the anonymity of cyberspace after I lose interest.

{RT- (this being my first post, you are forgiven for not knowing what that stands for. On twitter it is re-tweet, but on here it is Random Thought. Since this blog is named after my RT's, there will definitely be a lot of them. They go in little thingies like these { } and may not always be labeled as "RT." (In writing I always use "< >" marks, but it screws with the html on here.) They are usually mostly off-topic and ignorable. Just read around them if you don't like off-topic rants or comments) for those concerned with my actual life but don't want to read this entry out of order, it may interest you to know that my (lovely vista) computer just decided to restart following updates without user permission. I was so worried my entry had been lost (I am not writing this the the order it should be read (like filming)) but thank the internet gods that google is so amazing it saved a draft. Not everything, but nearly all of my start}
Anyway, here, I present a blog. It is called "Cogitations of a Night Owl" (for now) because I am awfully thoughtful and just plain old "thoughts" didn't sound right, and "musings" is too overused. I wanted something closer to contemplation, but that didn't fit either. Thus, cogitations. Second part - I was born to be nocturnal and I have yet to fine a better term for "nocturnal person" than night owl. My current nickname thing is "Gr8a." My name (Greta) is not pronounced with an "eight" sound, but it was cool. Gr8 is texty talk for great, which is a perfect and simple anagram of my name, so Great-a/Gr-eight-a/Gr8a was close enough to the pronunciation of my real name to be nifty. So, that is my long rambling explanation of my new blog.Anyway, back to my good mood! I recently discovered that Mika's second album is being released on my 16th birthday.
