Writer's Block: *Lightbulb Goes Off*
It was a while ago and it was a rather sad one to be sure. I realized that I once I leave home... I've left home. :( I'm very much attached to my family - it's like they're related to me. It seems odd to me to consider what the house would be like without me. What a shift in the politics, you know? If I were Alia I'd probably be worried about how things would start to play out. Either her and Alex would get along more (of the three of us we get along better when one is gone) or less. Perhaps it's an overinflated sense of responsibility and importance on my part but I hate to think mom would have to substitute me for (god forbid) Alia. Mom needs someone a little more grounded than those two. If Alex were to behave a little more considerately concerning cleaning up and not instigating Alia then I do think he would be next in line to give mom and anchor.
I wonder how often I'll be away. I certainly hope my relationship with everyone doesn't shift too drastically. While I don't think I ever really change too much (I've always been a smart ass etc) I usually am able to convince myself that I have changed and that the people I haven't seen over a period of time would be appalled to listen to me talk. This has happened before, mostly with old friends, though. People from middle school, usually. Sometimes things fall right back into place, though...
