"I wish my lawn were emo 'cause then it would just cut itself"
"Five days of Hell left. Just think about all the beer you can buy once you sell your books back..."--DC++
"i dont care who you are. everyone has atleast ONE Ace of Base song on their computer or in their CD collection"-Brian
Tonight i downloaded Justin Timberlake's album FutureSex/LoveSounds and Ace of Base's album I Saw the Sign--
I'm suddenly 8 years old again, lying in my daybed filled with stuffed animals and my tape player that is wedged against the bars, trying to fall asleep.
And, it doesn't matter how much time has passed or how many times we've told our own stories, but tonight my roommates and i shared stories from the '94 Northridge 'quake. It happened a long time ago, and yet i remember every detail vividly.
It's odd to think about how long ago my childhood was. When did it end? When did i lose my innocence, at least in part? I'm going to say twelve, because 1)i "hit puberty" and stopped growing 2) i gained vanity by beginning to wear make-up, pluck my eyebrows, dye my hair, and care what clothes i wore, 3) i stopped doing things i loved like rollerblading, playing with dolls, listening to showtunes, because it was "uncool".
Alex said he was graduating this year. A lot of my friends at Cal Poly are graduating this year as well. The future doth approacheth at warp-speed, and i'm more than a little frightened. I am giving myself at least two options after i graduate: 1)grad school. this will require extensive research into schools in the next six months, and finding out what qualifications i need to apply. 2) joining the Peace Corps. i'm currently leaning towards this, because i really really really want to get out and travel through different regions of the world, see how much i myself can deal with as a human. I want to "make a difference" to someone, somwhere, however small that may be. This is probably naive, and a bit foolish to think, but what other reasons should i have to join the Peace Corps? Anyone? I've been mulling this over in my head since May; what other time in my life would i be able to pick up and leave at the drop-of-a-hat after getting my BA? I'd most likely end up teaching English in the classroom among other things, which i would be perfectly content with.
more signs that i'm getting older:
-Emo music is beginning to annoy me. If scene haircuts and Uggs could be obliterated in this dimension, i would be sooo happy.
-I cook my own meals. They tend to be well-balanced AND taste good.
-I've studied more this quarter than i have in all of my sophomore year.
-I'm not online that much. (AIM, lj)
enough tangents.
