So Morgan had baby number deux this morning. Cameron Brock (it's a family name) Volion. I can't wait to meet the little feller, but sadly it'll have to wait until after I get back from Florida. I really can't believe how grown up we're all getting. I mean, I'm twice an aunt, and soon to be twice a sister-in-law. The more all this familial prolificacy shit goes on, the more sure I become that I could never possibly maintain that kind of life. Which I don't think is necessarily a bad thing; in fact, I think it's a good thing that I'm embracing my probable future lifestyle now so I can more easily roll with it later.
I went to On the Other Hand on Oak St. last week...wow. If you enjoy digging through lots of shit to find a golden nugget, you should go there. I mean, they had fucking 90% of half of the stuff in the store. I got what is, in my opinion, a gorgeous vintage dress that initially cost $150ish for $25, which makes it even more enjoyable to wear. And speaking of, I'm going to wear it on this week's vacation. Once a year my entire family, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents included, take a trip somewhere nice at the expense of my ridiculous grandparents. What I love most about it is that I get to play dress up every night and drink champagne with my family and now that I'm 18 I get to go to our sweet family meetings (maybe not sweet, but it's nice to feel included). It's about as close to The Hills as I'll ever get.
I feel like there's more I could be doing to keep life a little spicy. I've just let everything get too stagnant. I need to meet some people, go new places, blahblahblah because the small instances where I've done that this summer have made me feel nice. And why wouldn't I want to feel nice?
So Will (from BC) is coming in town in two weeks and it looks like Liz is coming in too, at least eventually. I really can't wait to see both of them and I really really can't wait to go back to Boston whenever it is I end up going. I've reached the stage where all my of memories from last year (like it was so long ago) are all really positive and make me miss it and make me sad I'm not going back. But I'm also very excited to be starting up at Tulane. I just hope I don't let the fact that I already have friends there keep me from being nice to new people.
