I feel as if I'm a 50 year old stuck in a 19 year old's body.

I'd rather stay at home and watch a movie then go out and get drunk.

I'd rather have nachos and beer with a good friend/sister or 3 than go to a crowded party, get trashed, and not remember what I did the night before, or who I spoke to, or who I met.

I've only been legal for 8 months, and already drinking and partying is no fun.

I feel so old. I need something new. However, if I get into nursing (which I really want), it will just reinforce my new life-style of being swamped with work and too tired/too boring to do anything that a normal 19 year old considers to be fun.

Let me explain. This is what I find fun:
  • Stayin in and watching a movie with close friends or a lover.
  • Working out for hours on end.
  • Killing an hour or 3 at Chapter's just cruising around.
  • Sitting in a coffee shop, having breakfast by myself and writing in my journal.
  • Lying in bed reading until I fall asleep.
  • Playing pool and going swimming.
  • Rock climbing.

This is what most normal 19 year olds find fun:
  • Drinking LOTS.
  • Getting drunk LOTS.
  • Partying LOTS.

I'm having that damned "quarter life crisis" and I'M NOT EVEN 20 YET.

Am I this boring?  I thought that this was supposed to be the "wildest" times of my life, and I'm living through my university years like an old grandma in a 34-26-36 body.

When did I get this old?

Maybe I should join the circus.  Well, maybe not.  The Red Cross First Aid Provisions Team is a start.  Canada Day is an optimal day for accidents.  Maybe that will be exciting.

I think I am the most boring person I know.

So, a shout out to EVERYONE: Make me more fun.
