realization

Top indicators I am old.

-asked for a plane ticket for my birthday (to a wedding, nonetheless. weddings are for old people.)

But, really- let me focus on this for a minute. A plane ticket? Aren't birthdays time for fluffy gifts that you forget about after a week like polly pockets or a set of Lisa Frank stationary or a pony (we all know we would never get one, and yet we still asked)? Where's my pink barbie cake with the yellow frosting and the 7 candles? Where are all my friends who have to be home by 8?

-my idea of 'solitude' is a 30 minute hot bath.

-Scenario:

It's saturday day night and The Boy and I flirted with ideas such as seeing a movie, going downtown, or shopping. And then somehow found ourselves taking a nap.

-Scenario:

Youth- procrastinate. don't accomplish. talk your way out of the mess. bystanders blame your actions on your youth and forgive you.

Now- procrastinate. hope to accomplish at last possible minute. no one to blame anything on.

-i understand my parent's rules.

-i apologize first because i realize life is too short to be stubborn.

-i'm listening to country. NOOO!!!! NOT THE CUHHH-NNN-TREEEE!!

-August 14th is next week.
