yay for being delirious

Sometimes I feel like I am living a double life, where half the time I know what I am doing while the other half I kinda just..go. I'm not trying to be melodramatic, simply wanting to make sense of it all. My job requires me to act with the maturity of a 30 year old, while being with family or friends I am so dumb... I feel confident driving alone, but I still don't have my own car. I love where I am at right now, but I can't wait to be legal. I think I should take up psychology so I could analyze other people's mental states other than my own.

I feel like I have taken a break from life and am currently re-entering it. Being away from the people and things that you are so used to really gives you a new perspective on things. It's like watching a movie and suddenly realizing that you have become part of it. To everyone else, YOUR life IS a movie. How much could a simple anecdote about "what somebody did" possibly mean anything unless they had been there to experience it too? There's always that glassy-eyed stare that tells you that you are not getting through. Life could be so much easier if a full film crew followed you around to put your life into a movie. There would be no misunderstandings of how you got car jacked, who flirted with you, and at what time you called Bob. Yeah, so we've got MTV's Real World, but who cares about self absorbed, mentally unstable, midwestern undergrads? There's one of those in all of us. ;)
