I went to The Beaches today.
The Beaches is a funny place because most people who live there are moderately wealthy (this is presumptuous, but the properties/homes -assuming peeps aren't renting- can cost close to a million dollars there so...), but at the same time that place is perpetually filled with urban hicks. It's this fucked up mix of sweatpant-wearing-middle-agers and yuppies with mini backpacks. The beaches also has the best dogs!!! There are also so many teen moms in the beaches. I guess it's acceptable there since really, if you're rich you can do whatever you want- including have attractive little rich babies at a young age.
I've been thinking a lot lately about what it would be like to have children; whether or not I'd be a good parent and how my life would change. I did a memorial service at the funeral home this week that was FULL of children. It was like being back at Zodiac working as a children's party host and it made me miss working with kids. Having children is actually INSANE tho. seriously. On one hand, it seems to give life some purpose because you have to care for this... like.. crazy somehow alive from you THING, but imagine how taxing that must be. Although maybe rewarding. Thinking about all this has given me a growing respect for single parents. WORD UP SINGLE PARENTS. It must be so hard raising children, but the support from/advantage of having another person to share responsibility must make it somewhat easier.
I'm so frustrated with myself right now and I really want to go on vacation.
All i can listen to lately is those last two Avril singles. So cheesy, but so catchy.
