Dont Throw In the Towel... Hang Yourself with It
That's it! I'm throwing in the towel. I was about ready to call my mother today and ask to get a plane ticket home, even just for the weekend. There is just so much Missouri that I can take. Small town life is NOT for me.
This is the longest that I have ever been away from home, and every day it gets longer. I miss my parents, my sister, my dog, my fish. I want over-priced coffee, a big movie theatre with more than seven screens, traffic. I never thought that I would miss traffic, but I do. I miss having a place to go.
I was talking about my parents today with my room mate. We were just talking about how much I miss them, and she goes off on a tangent about how cool it is that she's twenty-two and lives really close to her parents. Then she starts talking about how her favorite shirts to wear in the winter are her dad's because they're warm and they still smell like him. GAAAAASP! I'm about to choke to death with longing.
I'm NOT a mommy's girl either. I like going off on my own and being independent, but it's much more fun if you have someone to look after you. Oxymoron? I think so.
And what sparked all this? My mom sent me a picture of her in her halloween costume. She was a runaway bride. The picture is currently my desktop wallpaper, and I cant stand it. She looks so happy and stuff. I wanna be happy too.
I bet I could be in Arlington. I could have my independance, and still see them more often. Maybe once a month or something. That would be cool.
It's kinda funny that I'll be seeing them in about two weeks and I'm wanting to go to Texas now. Two weeks..that's not very long. Then it'll be only five more weeks until the end of the semester, and I can go home for Christmas.
I wonder if I've changed. I wonder if the rest of the world has.
