must everyone decide to get married at the same time? first two of my closest friends from high school (20 year olds! ahhh), then two other friends i knew from church, and now my brother is engaged. this is insane. i am so sick of weddings and i've only been to one so far, but the others aren't far behind. i'm also sort of getting sick of couples and people that are "in love." ok, i may be cynical, but not enough to say that love doesn't exist. i just have my doubts about some people. being around them annoys me, and yet i wish i had someone i could be that close and intimate with.
now that i'm home again, my limited art abilities are being whored out once again. i did a sketch for a book that my brother is writing and he loved it and now he comes back and wants me to add some stuff to it and then do another drawing too. he also mentioned that his mom would like me to paint some clouds on her bathroom ceiling. i told him i wasn't very confident that i could do that well since i don't have a lot of experience with painting, even though i do love it. he insisted though, saying i could do much better than him. it's not that i mind using what skills i have to help people, i love doing stuff for people and i'm flattered to be asked. it just seems like if anything somehow related to art needs to be done, even the simplest thing, everyone comes to me like i'm some great talent. it's a bit overwhelming and it almost makes me wish i sucked at art.
i've been reading this book, the rules of attraction. despite some awkward sections, i really like it. it's a lot about misunderstandings in friendhships/relationships and how two people can perceive the same situation or conversation in two completely different ways. i was talking to one of my friends last night and i realized that it is so much like a past situation that me, her, and another friend were in last year. not the events of the books of course, but the concept. it's kinda eerie. that led to talking about old times and i got kinda nostalgic. i realized that what i'd loved to do is just have this big living room kind of place with my suite from last year and some of my other friends and we just all hang out there and talk all night and not have to go to class or do work or anything. haha i know it's rediculous, but it would be awesome and it made me really peaceful thinking about it in a strange sort of way.
tomorrow should be fun, i'm supposed to go out to eat with elene, david, becki, and some of her friends. right now i am exceptionally tired though. i didn't get to bed until about 5 last night and then i couldn't sleep. i'm not sure i ever fell asleep, but i do know there were a few hours i don't remember. haha then after that i decided to wash my car, which was in very bad need. so now i am not only tired, but very hot.
