Hey all. So, I'm noticing that
I'm turning into a once a month poster, which sucks, but when
you don't have anything to say, you just don't. It's my first
Saturday in about nine years that I have absolutely nothing
to do (in the day, anyway). And it's kind of nice. This is
not to say that my last million Saturdays haven't been great
because they have been, but it's definitely a healthy feeling
when you have nothing to do but do whatever you want, even
if it's just nothing. I'm cleaning up my apartment, I'm going
to get my LONG overdue manicure and pedicure, then I'm going
to go have dinner with one my old high school friends that
I haven't sat down and talked to in something like two to
three years. Wow. I mean, where do you even begin to update?
It's strange when there is almost too much to say. You just
give the highlights, and then there's nothing else to talk
about. It's as if your life has been simple and boring, when
so much has happened that there's no way to even talk about
it. I'm not too worried though. It's nice to have a conversation
with someone who knew you before you became the new you. (Are
we ever really that new?)
I went to my first wedding of a high school friend. My first
high school friend to get married. It was two weekends ago.
I thought it would be weird, and I guess it was, but not for
the reasons that I thought. It was weird to me that it wasn't
weird at all. I mean, she's the same person. And her new husband
is the same guy. And I'm so happy for these two that I can
hardly even stand it. Sure, you never know what a relationship
is really like unless you're in it. Doesn't matter how much
you know, how much you hear, how often you spend time with
them. Only those two people can ever really understand it,
however, I still truly believe that these are two great people
who deserve to be together. And I haven't felt so purely happy
for two other people as I do for them. Shit, that reminds
me. I NEED to send them their wedding present.
Unrelated to everything, I can't believe it's been MONTHS
that I've had up there in the announcement box that my "concact"
information was what it was. No, not "contact" but
"concact." I'm an idiot.
What else. New apartment is going really well. Turns out I'm
not too good at taking out the garbage, and I definitely need
to do that because it seems as though bugs really do enjoy
that shit, and it shouldn't be in my living space. Gross.
I love living where I live. I love my location. My apartment
loves me. And I have to tell you, there is absolutely NOTHING
like having a happy home to return to. It affects everything.
If you don't feel good about your homebase, you can hardly
focus on anything else.
Not too much else is happening. Work is work, and it's good.
I'm not the best person who has ever had my job, but I'm certainly
not the worst, so that feels good. But again, not too much
to say about it.
Oh, I'm obsessed with Laguna Beach. It's just SO high school,
it's great. But what scares me is that those types of conflicts
and bullshit really still do exist in adulthood (am I IN adulthood??).
I mean, the pettiness, the insecurity, the games, the shit-talking,
the peer pressure. It's all there later too, but you just
tack on a few more responsibilities that help distract you
from all of that. There isn't a 100% focus on the bullshit,
but it's absolutely there. I mean, kids are not the only people
to watch shows like that. High school drama (real or fictional)
appeals to young adults because we can still relate to it.
Maybe I shouldn't speak for all young adults. I like it though.
Okay, I'm going to go bike ride over to the nail place. I'll
try to write more, especially if I have anything remotely
interesting to say.
