(no subject)
Sometimes I think I'm too juvenile. I mean, how many guys my age get really excited about watching The Great Muppet Caper? I still giggle at stupid jokes and random high-school level thoughts or phrases that come into my head (and guys aren't supposed to giggle at all, are they?)
I feel like a lot of my personality either stopped at or has reverted to eight years old. I honestly don't feel like an adult, no matter how many college classes I go to or how many bills I have to pay. And really, I don't want to. This isn't saying that I don't feel that I'm ready for adult responsibilities. I have a lease and a decent job, after all, and I've been in successful long-term relationships. But I don't feel like I'll every be "completely" adult, and I can't think of that as a bad thing. I think that that's what makes people frustrated and unhappy in their lives. I know people my age who have the same responsibilities as me but seem like they're so much older than they are. I guess they just take things differently.
The day I see a Muppet and not feel giddy; the day I walk out into the snow and not smile; the day I hear the word "shoehorn" and not laugh a little (old high school running joke:) that's the day I know I'm completely grown up, and that all hope is lost. I hope it never comes.
