That was.......... interesting O_o
Well, my aunt left.......... ~pout~ Imma miss her. She won’t be back until May ~tear~
Anyway.......... ze interesting lecture.......... which actually wasn’t a lecture, but rather just an hour of talking about my upcoming plans. She took me out on the porch so we could be alone and started out by talking about me getting my license, a job, and a car. Then she started talking about something that I did not expect “You’re getting older and I think you’d probably like living in your own place. Let me tell you, when I divorced mister... weirdo and moved into my own place, it was an amazing feeling”, So I was a bit surprised about that. Though I did immediatly open up and tell her that I have already been thinking about getting an apartment. She loves that idea and she increased my enthusiasm too. “It’s a great feeling. You can eat when you want, sleep when you want, even dance naked if you want to. And what’s really great is when you come home from work and rest on the couch, then look around and say ‘Yep, it’s is all mine’. Nothing compares to the fun feeling of independence”. Though she did make sure to keep everything in perspective.
The thing is, for that hour of talking, she wasn’t just my aunt, she was my friend...... I really enjoyed talking about her. We’ve already made plans that she’ll stay with me when she visits.... well, when I get my own place. She wants us to go shopping and hang out, which is like... awesome!
Btw, I’ll most likely get a place in Boone, but if the chances come, it’ll be Ames.
Anywho, after our discussion we went back inside and did our own thing, hung around, talked with everyone else, I avoided uncle Dave, blah blah blah. They left a little after 1:00 and after they left, the rest of the family and I went back in the house and talked some more. Then close to the time when we were going to leave my grandparent’s house, my Dad suddenly out of nowhere said “So, you’re moving out?”. I just about fell to the floor in shock...... I should have known everything I said to Mindy would get back to Dad, I just didn’t think so quickly. So yeah, Dad said if I want to move out, he’ll help me find a place and help me move in. Happiness! Now everyone knows and all that is left is my license, a job, a car, and then the apartment and actually moving out.
Of course, my family finding out wasn’t all that easy, my grandmother was SO not happy with the idea. She said “You’re not moving out until you’re married” and then she kept repeating “I wouldn’t let her move out until she’s married”, “I wouldn’t let you move out until you’re married”..... I knew someone would absolutely hate the idea. But oh well, her vote doesn’t count. She called later on and told Dad “I hope Erica wasn’t upset from her conversation with Mindy”. Um.... okay, NO I wasn’t! She didn’t say anything to upset me! Nope, my grandmother did though. I don’t care if she doesn’t want me to move out, like I said, her vote doesn’t count. Plah.
Anyway, I can’t wait until May when I get to see her again. Perhaps by then I’ll finally have my black car (No preffered make or model) with customized pink flames and black interior with pink accents. Oh yeah, and maybe my own place by then :P ....... of course that depends on if I can find a freakin’ job!!!! Ugh...... I hate Boone.
Well, I should be going, I suppose. I must eat (My aunt discussed the matter of eating and not becoming an anorexic..... don’t wanna get in trouble). So goodnight everyone
Much love from me

Here's something I fell in love with that I found on allpoetry. 'Twas on an excellent poet's author page (he's such an amazing person).....
TWO WOLVES
An old Cherokee sage was teaching his grandson about life.
"A fight is going on inside of me," he told the young boy. "It is a terrible battle between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is fear, anger, resentment, envy, sorrow, self-pity, regret, arrogance, inferiority, superiority, self-satisfaction, self-loathing, and ego."
"The other wolf is good. He is joy, hope, serenity, humility, benevolence, patience, empathy, kindness, generosity, truth, and faith. This same fight wages inside of you, too, and in every other person on this earth."
The boy asked, "Which wolf will win, Grandfather?"
The old man replied, "The one you feed."
