la vie en rose...
so hmm... since hannah left life has been pretty dull. i got new glasses and i've been running a lot of errands and that's been pretty much my life. i haven't really been hanging out with people, i guess partially because no one is around and also because i haven't been really talking to the ellis crew that much. i have been watching non-stop reruns of america's next top model on vh1. there were two days of marathons and i was truly addicted to it. i almost didn't go pick up my glasses tonight because i wanted to keep watching, but i did get my glasses and it was ok cuz i know that adrianne wins in the end.
other than that i've been packing... lots of packing. i bought everything i need and i've been narrowing things down as to what to bring. tho to be honest, i have too many shirts... but i'm the kind of person who changes shirts a lot and i like to have too many shirts. i asked leah mauer if overpacking is ok and she said that she overpacks for camp, so i don't feel too bad about overpacking.
honestly, i am nervous for camp... but on the brightside, it's exciting. it's exciting because i'm the responsible one now, not the camper but the counselor. it's exciting because i'm leaving home! it's the beginning of my new life...of MY LIFE! i've always had issues with my parents taking over what was mine. when i brought home my first beanie baby and started collecting them, my parents immediately went out and bought every book and started collecting them in fives, and then putting them in baggies and in bins... so i couldn't even play with them. when i brought home the first harry potter book and read it, my parents went out right away and bought the first three books and read the rest themselves before i could read them, while i waited on the list in the school library to get to read the second one. there are tons of examples of this and of my parents trying to control my life, my mum especially. and now that i'm 18 and that i am leaving, they are trying to get their death grip and it won't work. i will be free in 3 days and even better is that i am going to cleveland for one of those days! WOOT!
other than that, the plans for this weekend in toronto seem to be fun too. i'm very excited to get away. you know i thought i'd be sad to leave pittsburgh, but really i'm more excited to be out on my own... no stupid rules or anything of the sort. I CAN WEAR TANK TOPS, FLIP FLOPS, OR BRIGHT COLORED SNEAKERS AND NO ONE WILL CARE!
ps- driving down the highway, heavy metal on the radio, windows open and speeding is the shit!
