This summer has turned out a lot different than expected, and that's been great. I'm spending most of my time at work during the week, which is a new experience for me. I truly understand why people have trouble choosing a job now, it's a large part of your life. I can't complain about getting paid what I am to drive around in Vipers and go off-roading in Jeeps.
This weekend I did nothing. Well, I went to a party, played some soccer and celebrated Tracy's birthday, but mostly did nothing. Slept a lot, and played guitar until my fingers hurt (and that takes me a long time at this point...)
I can't believe Tracy is 16 years old, and driving. Things are going to change around here. I remember how I disappeared as soon as I got my license (or when Scott and Mike did), but I hope she remembers her big dorky brother likes to spend time picking on her and beating her at tennis now and then. I never thought I'd really worry about her in the older brother sort of way. She's very strong and independent, what is needed for a girl in today's society. But I have to admit, I feel this gut feeling about her driving that bugs me. She's a slow and grandma driver right now, but she'll be zooming around soon.
I saw "You, Me, and Dupree" tonight, and it is frickin' awesome. I laughed so hard. I just saw so much of my life in the movie, it was probably sad. I have to admit, I'm more like the uptight guy than Dupree. I know I'll need someone next to me to tell me to slow down a little for the rest of my life. I like 5th gear, and getting there quick. I have this drive that makes me want to juggle way too much for me to possibly handle, and I don't know why. Watching a movie about newly weds really makes me wonder when it will be my turn.
Tomorrow I get my laptop. It's the most money I've ever spent at one time. I hope it's capable of a few things this computer isn't. I need someone to tell me to stop thinking about it.
