you can save it for the birds and the bees...
I went home this weekend for no real reason - mainly because I had a free ride with Colin, lol. I kind of wanted to go out but that fell through because it was too last minute, but I knew that was a serious possibility so it wasn't too upsetting. I also really wanted to see Molson, the dog we always watch for some family friends who travel a lot, because he's getting old and I'm afraid I might not get to see him a lot more. That makes me sad. But he gave me such a happy welcome when I got home, and that made me happy. I ended up hanging out with my parents - having a drink on the deck in the backyard, having dinner, walking Molson, and then watching a movie (27 Dresses - so cute!). It was nice, but weird.
I can't remember exactly when my parents started treating me like an adult; like I was someone they could spend time with, rather than someone they had to pay attention to. Not to mention the jokes that my father feels are appropriate in my presence now, which I find rather amusing. I came to terms with the fact that my parents had sex a long time ago, so it really doesn't bother me when my dad jokes about it now. But it's weird to me, that it's so easy to get along with them, and carry on conversations and everything. I know they're still my parents, and there are certainly still some very clear boundaries, but even so... it's different. And it's especially funny to think about, since the last time I saw them I got sick, and suddenly everything was "I want my mommy" and "stay, let mommy take care of you tonight". The speed we moved from mommy/baby to mother/daughter was almost eerie, in retrospect. But I really do enjoy their presence, and I hope they enjoy mine. I really like my parents :).
I also played a lot of piano while I was there. I miss having it. Trevor kept dangling the possibility of a keyboard in front of me, but that hasn't come through yet, and I'm not sure if it will anymore, what with him going home for the summer, and all. I'd really like it though - there's something very nice and calming about being able to just sit down and play something, and piano is all I'm semi-decent at, lol. Also, it's easy, and pretty. I was kind of hoping my parents were serious when they said we could have theirs, lol, but that was very obviously a joke. I am le sad.
It was nice to be able to just escape to home now that I'm done with school. Now I have to worry about finding a summer job and I just don't know where to start, so it's going to get a little overwhelming very quickly. I'm not looking forward to it. I'm fine once I actually start something, but I can never seem to get completely used to looking for things. It was the same last year, the same with the apartment, and everything. I wish there was some sort of service for university students, where we can just say what kind of thing we're looking for, and companies will line up saying "Here we are! Work for us!". That would be nice.
But Nat and I are planning on going to a movie tonight, which is going to be awesome. I haven't been to the movies for a while, so I'm looking forward to it. Forgetting Sara Marshall - I'll let you know how it is :).
Peace out!
