I am writing this on the 24th of April 2014. Liverpool are 3 games away from Premier League Victory, lead by Steven Gerrard. I have dots on my hand, helping Sophie plan her tattoo. I watched She's out of my League today with Joel and we played Table-Tennis too, he's gotten better since last time, I'm still better though. I gave Tessa a fright, using Simon's, 'Badger dying from small ants' noise. I am reading, 'The Affair', a Jack Reacher book, by Lee Child. My youngest sister (so far) isn't born yet, but only a few weeks from now will she be here. I've done a few of these things. Written my future self messages. I'm not sure why, probably because I'm scared of what will happen in the future, after school. I'm good at seeming to not be scared of future events, maybe too good. That is a bad thing, I think. But I don't know how to change it, so I guess I'll continue to be subconsciously scared. I literally have no idea what I am going to do after school. Will I do photography? Will I work on James' boat? It'd be far easier to take the latter option and do photography on the side, because really, I don't like photographing what others want me to do, I like to do my own thing, usually architectural but sometimes nature, just anything without people really... I feel people usually ruin a photo. I'm not saying I don't like a photo of a nice lady. But I'd much rather take a photo of a building, they're not awkward, they're not talkative, they don't look at you as you photograph them, they stand there, still as stone, rain or sun, ever lone. There are so many different sorts of buildings, much more than people, no matter what clothes people wear, they look relatively similar, you can always tell they're human. Some buildings look like animals, some look like squares, circles or triangles. Some look like hats, some look like hats. A building can be so simple yet complex and it sounds cliché but it's true, plain is perfect. My name is Drayden Aplin-Cowan, I am 17 and if I have figured this scheduling thing out correctly, this should be posted exactly ten years from now. Hello future self and followers.
