I had to babysit my cousins for my grandmother this morning. Early as all freaking hell too. 5:30 AM. It wasn’t so bad though, I just got up and went over in my pajamas. (My grandma lives two seconds away, a mile exactly, driveway to driveway.) It was comforting though, I walked in, still really sleepy and drugged up from the nyquil (I’m illin) and walked back to her room and just crawled into bed again. She came and tucked me in and I stared at the painted plates with children on them on the wall. It reminded me of my childhood, incredibly comforting. My other cousins, the older ones, and I used to fight over who would get to sleep in Grandma’s bed with her. None of us wanted to sleep on the floor. lol

I miss those times. My cousins used to live in Joppatown, not too far from us. Now they live all the way in Richmond. I miss hanging out with them. And telling them things. We’re still really close, it’s just difficult to see each other. Especially now that Jen is out of college, Candice soon will be too and I’m getting ready to go back. Brad just graduated high school (which was why I was watching the kids today. So Grandma and Pop could go to his graduation.) I dunno. Growing up isn’t something I’m really enjoying. I miss all those carefree times. I actually miss going to school, seeing my friends. Or those I thought were friends. I barely talk to anyone anymore. And what bothers me more, I actually like it that way. I’ve become some kind of hermit almost. I don’t like going out. I don’t like people just showing up at my house. I screen my phone calls. I really don’t like anyone outside of my close group. I still care about the people who were my friends, and if they called me and needed me, I would be there. I just don’t really want to hang out with them. Is that totally messed up?

I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I’m focusing on getting my ass into gear and getting myself on the right path. For the past few months I’ve felt pretty worthless. Here I am, nineteen, dropped out of college, working at CVS. Don’t get me wrong, I like my job, I hated college (my major actually) but this is NOT where I wanted to be at this age. I should be halfway through college, on the way to getting a career and moving out. Instead I feel stagnet. I finally have some direction though. A goal. And I am going to make myself feel like I am something worthwhile again. Because I’m tired of being like this. I’m tired of being this person I’ve become. So I’m going to change.

On another note, I have an interview at Blockbuster Friday for a second job. -does dance- I really need it. I’m totally not making enough money. I have expensive tastes and I’m trying to get a new car.

I’m the same way when it comes to my grandmothers bed. There’s always something comforting about it, I don’t know. Childhood memories I guess.

I wish you luck on your interview hon!

I used to work at Eckerd, which is also a drugstore, and the pay was nothing near substantial. So good luck with Blockbuster! I would LOVE to work there (provided I got good a discount on movies because I buy stuff from there ALL the time)!

You know, speaking from the perspective of being halfway through college, the whole upset about growing up thing doesn’t change. The further you get through college, the more you start to have the growing realization that once you’re done, you’re done. You go to work, and you have no life EVER AGAIN! I remember playing outside in my backyard with my friends, running around barefoot with our feet completely black and green from the grass and driveway, and driving up to the snowball stand in the evenings. what happened to those days??? i want them back. now. when do i ever have the opportunity anymore to go outside at 10am and not come in until 9pm? ugh. sorry ash. im going through the same thing :/

good luck with getting back on track, im sure you’ll figure it out. once you get it all straightened out and set up, it’s smooth sailing from there. it’s just taking that first step.

I have good memories playing with my cousins when we were younger. None of us speak anymore though.. It’s really sort of sad. :( Growing up one of my cousins and I were best friends.. All the way up until late teens and then she kicked me out of her wedding for dating a guy that she didn’t like and well.. We haven’t spoken since. :( You think you’re close with someone and then they grow horns………

OH.. Hi by the way. Ha. I’ve missed you!! When did you get your own fanlisting dahling?! I’ve missed so much! Yah.. yah.. I know, I suck. /sigh. I just joined.. :p I mean.. It’s only right since I AM your biggest fan!

Aww… I remember being at my grandma’s house to, it’s funny how you can look at just stuff on the wall and on tables etc. and remember your childhood. I remember my grandpa when I go to her house, he past away when I was 6 so it’s kinda nice to have those memories.

That would be awesome! Maybe when could go do something, I’ll prob be going back in mid Aug. so whenever you get around there just send me a message if you want and we can go do something….

Talk to ya later

Don’t feel too bad about not being on the straight and narrow path to the future, many many people in our age range (I’m almost 21) are just starting to figure out what they want to do. I’m only starting to get an inkling of mine.

Loving the new layout. I’m always lurking around even if I don’t comment, but I make a special point to sometimes. That makes me sound really odd doesn’t it?

I brought ueORG back for a while, so at least I have something to update now xD

Deciding you’re going to do something about the way you’re feeling by getting out there is great, a lot of people would just forget it and stay as they are, and the fact you’re going to grab what you want by the balls shows just what a strong person you are *hugs*

Hey, I doubt that anyone is happy where they are at 19, even those rich celebrities you hear about all the time. Happiness is a state of mind. You’re not there unless you think you are. I’d say go back to college under a different major. It’s not too late. =)
