HoneyBeeManor: I guess this is growing up

I guess this is growing up
June 04, 2005

When I moved out of my parents' house, I always thought it wasn't a big milestone.
I mean, I knew I had to get out of there, but I was never one for celebratory moments.
I was so bored during my high school graduation, my family thought I was ill.
My high school was so small that we all fit on the stage of our auditorium and the audience faced us. Being that my wonderful last name is near the beginning at the alphabet (great for lining up for stuff, bad for giving presentations in class), I sat in the front row, and I guess everyone in the audience could see my eyes rolling practically out of my head during the boring-ass speeches and accolades of my former classmates.

My college graduation was pretty boring as well. I assume. I played Game Boy and read a copy of Maxim throughout the duration. I'm sure I missed a wonderful speech using some metaphor for going into the world and being leaders of the future, blah blah blah. I'm glad I didn't listen now, because it would have rang through my ears back when I was a waitress and the tears may have saturated my customers' food.

So after college, I obviously moved back home for a few years, which turned out to be smart financially, because I was able to buy my own car. And when I moved out, I never thought it would be a big deal, since I was moving all of 20 minutes away, even though I teared up a bit driving away. Until I remembered I'd be coming back before the week's end to do my laundry.

But it did turn out to be a big deal. Even when I lived off-campus at school, I still just paid my rent to Sean when he asked me. Being older than Felicia, I automatically assumed the role of Bill Payer and teacher of a few other things like How To Boil Water and Why You Should Always Listen To Me And Other Ways To Avoid Being Punched In The Face. We have a great time together.

I somehow started cooking and I love to do it, even though just last night I made Crabmeat Casserole and forgot to add the creabmeat.
I started knitting and I also love to do it, even though I've been working on the front half of a tank top for over a month.
I started cleaning without being asked, and I actually cared if someone came over to visit a messy apartment, even though I always told my mom after refusing to let me have a sleepover that "if my friends really liked me, they wouldn't care what our house looked like." But that was just my sly attempt at getting out of cleaning the toilets that my brother apparently used while drunk, blindfolded, with a severe case of vertigo, and after drinking a Big Gulp.
Now I clean my own bathrooms, even if nobody's coming over!

Somewhere along the line, I also took to being The One who calls up Comcast and demands a refund when our cable goes out for days and who writes rude letters to ReplayTV when they decline to give me my $100 rebate regardless of the fact that I obeyed all the rules. The letter was actually a joke, sort of, written in such a condescending manner that I only wrote because I had already considered the rebate gone and figured I had nothing to lose.
I just got the rebate a few days ago, so someone there has a sense of humor.

I've also done a bunch of things I swore I'd never do, but somewhere along the line I started actually reading the parts of the newspapers that weren't the comics and visiting cnn.com on an increasing basis.
I accepted an Xbox from my younger brother in exchange for my iPod, and I actually enjoy the games I have for it.
I...I started playing an MMORPG. I'm sorry, guys. I started and I can't stop.
I'm not going to tell you which one it is, but WoW do I like it.

Okay, so a lot of these things aren't about growing up specifically, but they are in the way that I've accepted allowing myself to do things I forbade myself to do or hadn't ever desired to do before.
I guess it gives me a little bit of hope, because I'm about to be faced with a few daunting tasks including but not limited to moving to a state where I know almost no one or anything about it, getting a transfer to a job, finding my own apartment, and moving all my stuff.

You just always expect yourself to wake up one day and be an Adult, and then one day you wake up and you're almost 25 and you still feel like an 18 year old. It's sometimes a neat realization, like the day almost a year ago when Felicia off-handedly suggested that we go to New York, and suddenly we were just there, without our moms or dads or anyone approving or telling us what to do and where to go and if we needed to be careful.

That's just the stuff I've been thinking about.
I'd love to keep telling you about how much I've grown, but my level 11 night elf hunter needs to kill some Deadwood Avengers, and my pet nightsaber, ChairmanMeow, is none too happy that I'm sitting here typing this instead of feeding him a delicious mackerel.

When honesty becomes more important than a little white lie. Yeah I know how your feeling, I feel it to.

Id ask what server you play on, but im sure you dont want me chasing you down or begging you to play on my server (if Im wrong send me an email).

Dont worry about growing up to much, it just means the growing pains are gone and the living pains can start.

"...then one day you wake up and you're almost 25 and you still feel like an 18 year old."
quoted for great truth.

i rolled into my 29th year of life back in March, and i still have people ask me what highschool/college i'm attending in the fall. i suppose it's the TPCD shirt, or maybe the Spawn toys and Transformers on my desk at work, or my BMW with the BAKA^2 and other various webcomic logos on the back window...

...like the one that says WTS [purple]WANG[/purple] x 1 PST. ^_~

Heh, its funny how true this rang for me. I remember moving out and being all like wow milestone... now what? It just didn't make an impact on me, but then it was during one of the first grocery shopping trips and I was like man I want some cookies or ice cream or just something stupid that normally mom would just say no and move on but then it hit me... I could buy that ice cream I COULD buy those cookies... Hell I could buy them BOTH. I think I then wet myself a little at the prospect of all that freedom, then bought my milk and went home.

Good blog, personaly at 22 (soon to be 23) I feel like I'm going throu a mid mid-life crisis. Its like wow, I'm a adult, why havn't I found anything to go after yet? Then I feel bad about not helping others around me more then I am, right now I have the free time and fiscally sound enough (enough) that I could afford to help family get better on thier feet. I mean really, do I need $15/hour? I don't need to eat out all the time, I don't need new gagets, or WoW. I should take a large pay cut, help my brother-in-law/boss to get off to a good start with his new business. I should help my dad around the farm more, work the fields/make repairs ect. God knows he could use some help working two jobs (Farmer/Iron worker), has had a blown back and it just happend again. RIght now when ever I see him he is no joke, crawling on the ground in pain, that will continue intill they can set a date for surgery. And now they are saying he needs a new shoulder too. I have been helping him more right now, but not near what I should. :( My mom is spiraling into debt (thou my dad has hefty debt as well) and has become more and more mentaly unstable over the last 8 years... (my parents divorce has been going on for again no joke 8 years). Really, at what point does a man stop and devote a few years of his life to help his family? Its not like I have a goal I'm working towards anyway. Why be so selfish? At 22 I feel my prioritys are completly out of wack. I guess thats growing up.

anyway, speaking of WoW

Sadly I think I'm going to cancle my account (Icecrown server), love the game, but summer is here and I just havn't been playing it. I'll probably continue when fall comes but for now the lake, mountains, markers and tennis courts* are a callin.

*Just started and hoooo boy... I suck real bad.

Yeah, Growing up is painful. Especially when you're only 21. I know people who are 25, and 29 who don't know what they want to do with their lives, or have done nothing to change that. I've been blessed with a wicked apartment, a freezy in my mouth and $16.25/hour sitting on my ass. I don't care about a modded ps2, I'm actually dedicating time to learning guitar. I care when people come over and have a great time because my place is not only clean, but it's fun. I'm even thinking about selling my comics. What does it mean to be an adult though? To me, it just means succeeding where the youth of the world can't. It's responsibilty that comes before fun. I've still got parts of me who want to "Stick it to the man", but I'm slowly becoming the man too quick. That is the irony.

Yeah, I like being a young pup, and about WoW, I'm getting it in about a week. It'll be my first too, and I'm horrified of getting addicted.

WoW! It's great for you to join the fold. Now you don't have to worry about all that pesky free time you used to have.

I'm living in my 3rd place away from my parents, 2nd on my own. Adulthood? whatev. then it hit me -- when i was shopping at Sam's Club by myself.

i had to call my mom and say "MOM, GUESS WHERE I AM!" she didn't know and laughed when i told her. and then i told her i was buying the same stupid shit we'd buy when i'd go to Sam's with her. but the difference now is the Sam's here in Austin has a huge wine department...

30 is fun. i still feel 23 but i take the world a lot less seriously than i did back then.

A newspaper in Iran is now holding a cartoon contest called Iran Holocaust Cartoon. Iran made Holocaust denial government policy when Iran foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki said in December that remarks made by the Iran president that the Nazi mass murder of Jews during World War II was a myth. It's time we used SEO Internet marketing against Islamic terrorists. The SEO contestants will wrap these keywords around their comments engagement settings of how Iran has sponsored Islam suicide bombing terror attacks against innocent men, women and children in Israel. Iran directly funds the activities of the terrorist groups Hamas and Hizbullah. yellow gold wedding rings http://www.natalia-diamonds.com/
