(no subject)
I know I never update. Mostly because I never feel the need to.
But reading about everyone and their lives made me feel inspired, and now I feel the need to reflect on things.
And by 'reflect on things', I think I really just meant to say that I miss everyone! From school!
A lot.
Summer is half over (for us university students), and I thought that I would be dying to go back to school again, but I really am just enjoying summer. I enjoy just hanging out and working and not having people around every minute of the day. It makes the time that there are people around much more enjoyable.
And I feel much more grown up. Like the other night with the barbeque. Since when did anyone care about the chicken being good and getting the recipe for it? And when did it become okay to drink margaritas on my back deck with my whole family around? I like it though. It's about damn time. I've been waiting to be a grown up my whole entire life. I was born to do it. hahahaha
The most important lesson I learned this year is that you cannot take yourself or life so seriously. You will get nothing out of worrying about bullshit that you can't control or that won't matter in 20 minutes. I think that has always been my problem. I also think that this newfound lifestyle has buried my control issues in their final resting place.
I'll just get to work on the rest of my problems now.
And I don't care about being fake or people liking me anymore. I don't try so hard. Because it's exhausting and the person I become when I'm trying to make a good impression is completely irrelevant. It's unfair to myself and the people who are in my life. It's either that, or I'm just okay with who I am now.
None of these conclusions spawned from my two months of solitude, but I think it has come with age. I'm finally out of the horrid teenage years where everything I did spun me into self-inflicted heartbreak just so I would have something to complain about, or cry about, or write bad poetry about. I hate it that my mother was right, but dammit, it WAS just a stage.
And I'm sure that all of this will change eventually, because whenever I think I've reached a conclusion about something, it always changes. But for now, I'm content with the way I'm handling things.
I do, however, need some more fun. More often. With less vomiting the next morning, and more boys. That I might like.
In other news, I will be working my last shift at Decorative Treasures, the infamous craft store that has made me into a girl that sews her own curtains and 're-upholsters' couches, on Saturday. I will then go on to my (hopefully) 'cushy' office job at Laubach Literacy commencing on the 4th of July with a part time job at Ricki's in the mall where I can indulge my slightly pricey obsession with business casual clothing and earrings.
Canada Day celebrations will begin tomorrow night after babysitting. So call me if you would like to participate. Or call Sarah as she so enjoys organizing events.

P.S- I'm sorry this entry was everywhere. I have decided to put my organization skills on vacation for the summer.
