A New Beginning

[rootbeer2]

I've had a night of...immense impact. After posting that last entry, I went through and read every bit of this journal (comments included) from when I started it mid-Junior year at UCLA to the beginning of the summer session that year. Back then, I used to write damn-near *novels* almost every day. I cataloged dang near every little thing I did

Hey, I read this!

God, as if you haven't put a damper on my LJ day today by making me get all instrospective-y and shit. Um, it's funny because I was actually going to say "Well, soon enough, you'll be saying 'Oh! I want one!'" Which then got me to think about how much our lives have changed since that first Vanilla Vodka shot. I mean, things are changing - not necessarily for good or bad, but changing they are because we're changing and issues are changing (and in many ways, staying exactly the same). And then it dawns on me that soon, our conversations over biscuits might consist of the "M" word and talking about "wanting one" with it being an actual possibility and whatnot as much as being about TV. I don't know... it's weird. I think it's funny and fitting that I feel like we are both on the cusp on whole new eras in our lives. The tragic (?) part about it is that, you know, it won't be as easy to call you on my piece of shit phone to talk about it. Because, you know, you're my best friend and have been somewhat of an anchor the past few years. That adjustment will be tough. I mean, we'll talk, but I'll be, like, half a globe away, so... whatever. Strange times, dude, strange times.

Why am I talking like I'm going to die or something?

Haha, sorry. Needless to say, I was very introspective-y and shit (as you say) at the time myself. Spending two hours reading through UCLA-era Livejournal posts will do that. As for "I want one," though, I should point out that Kelly is very much so in my camp of "we're waaaaay too young." I don't think "I want one" will be an issue anytime soon. We're kind of of the mind where we'd like to travel and play and, you know, live our own lives together for a good long while before packing it in and having to deal with the responsibility that entails. I know you want one though...just very glad that D isn't going to be the path to that. Hah. Our issues are definitely getting to be more grown up, but you know what? Something I keep telling Kelly that I really like about her is that she's grown up and mature, yet able to totally embrace child-like entertainment (easily amused, shiny things, pleasure in immaturity) at the same time. So yeah, while the issues may change, until we have frackin mortgages or something, I think we're still the young at heart (even if our joints don't agree) college people we always were. The "M" word over biscuits, however? What a concept. This will very likely occur (if I have anything to say about it, at least) soon. May we never stop talking TV (so long as it is good, however).

But yeah, we've both always followed similar patterns, so it's only fitting we both move on to these mega-big new eras around the same time. As for the phone thing...well, what of just using a mic on AIM/YIM or something? I'm sure we can make something work (and it'd still be better than your POS phone is here). I'm glad I've been able to help over the last number of years (as you have for me) and, personally, I don't intend on not having the couch in front of the TV with biscuits on hand at all times stopping anything. 'Cause that's so going to keep happening later, one way or the other. :p Definitely strange times.

And it's fun to talk like we're going to die, 'cause melodramaticness rules. Duh.

Wow, this was like it's own entry!
