Rules

1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about their self on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people and post their icons on the same journal.
4. Go to their pages and send a message saying you tagged them.
5. No tag-backs.

Here we go...

1) I am the classic example of a first born (if you've taken sociology or talked with Ben Hafner you will know what I'm saying)for I am constantly making lists of absolutely everything. I'm not kidding. Look at any piece of paper I've had in my possession for over 15 minutes.
2) I have an affinity for British people and things ( the kooks, the wombats, the feeling, mini coopers, Ewan McGregor <- is he scottish?) regardless british accents are frelling amazing!)
3) I get depressed if I don't do what I should and then try to sleep which leads to me constantly being depressed and sleeping more to make up for the fact I still haven't gotten what-ever-it-is finished.
4) I want to do everything and I have a stupid notion in the back of my head that I can do anything anyone else can and that I can do it better. It sounds like a ridiculously egotistical Nike commercial - or was it Gatorade? "Anything you can do I can do better..." - but it makes me try to be as humble and nonself confident as possible. Wow I can't believe I never realized it before this. Thank you to who ever came up with this survey thing.
5) When I was younger I made up names for all of my Breyer horses and stuffed animals ( Almost all being beanie buddies), yeah and I made a list of that too.
6) I cry whenever I think of money and my future. It is largely due to the fact that my parents drilled how important it is to be a kiss ass and do well in school into my head for so long that I would have a good shot at college. Yet when college came around no one had put away a dime and my only parent able to help pay for school wouldn't. Maybe other people cry when they think about their financial status and 'after college' but I don't think it is a good sign.
7)Whenever I pass a guy I think, "does he like me?", not so much because I think he's cute but because I want to know what he thinks. I suck at reading body language and I just wish people would tell you what they actually think once and awhile. It drives me nuts!! I'm going to be doomed as the bird/cat/dog/romance novel reading/shawl wearing/van driving fish lady. DAMN IT!
8) I yell at myself a lot. I also insult myself and cut myself down. Yet, I reason with myself that I'm only doing it because I care and it is truly constructive criticism after all. Which leads to me guilt tripping myself into forgiving myself. Maybe I should see someone...

So last night I hung with some old friends from highschool. Sure I'm only a Freshman in college and I didn't take a year off but in just 1 summer, a fall and 3/4s of a winter have really put things into perspective.

For one, none of us are getting any younger. It seems as if we are all aging at an astonishing rate that is judged more in terms of experience than actual days.

I never realized it but the last time I'd played 'Never Have I Ever' I was the metaphorical unicorn. Last night I was ranking with the the more outgoing in the group. How is it that a few seasons could make that much of an impact. Was I simply stalling all through high school - hell, my life! - waiting until college to try things and start asking the difficult questions.

Until a few months ago I thought I knew who I was. I thought my quirks were me and that my opinions and beliefs were fairly obvious. Yet I met this guy who challenged all of that.

Maybe he didn't mean to start a snowball effect or initiate any dramatic changes but he did. I have been pretty much obsessed with 'who am' and 'why do I think the way I do'.

If you ask me how my progress is I wouldn't be able to tell you. My last journal entry was of a friend's ponderings in which he stated all the things I hadn't been able to name. I was trying the whole inward searching route but with no luck. Why would I really? If I don't know the answer to begin with why would obsessing about it suddenly imbue me with the knowledge?

Yesterday was a good day. I got to see my friends and I got to see how they all reacted to life after high school. All of their lives have been vastly different from mine but they all have to go through similar situations. Sure some of us are more experienced or mature and some of us think we understand, yet soo much can be learned from the 'innocent' ones.

No there were no sudden realizations from playing mini golf and playing 'would you rather'. I still don't know what they think of me or if what they said was true. I really hope it is.

I guess yesterday game me a little bit of optimism in that no one has it figured. No one knows all the answers and for that reason there is only so much preparation you can do.

My friends are all wonderful people that I finally feel I can trust. It was never that I thought they would betray me, I just never felt that they could understand my worries. I was alienating myself for no reason. We all go through the same crap!! Man! If any of you are crazed enough to read this I want to let you know that I am soo ridiculously thankful for your patience and the wholly undeserved kindness you've given me.

I'm just as confused (if not a little more so) as everyone else but I feel that if we all have friends we can be honest with then we can learn to enjoy life.

And all this from a Dane Cook movie. I really need to work on my lifedrawing.

If you're censoring yourself out of fear, don't.
There's a good chance a lot of people feel the same way.

If you're censoring yourself out of love, don't.
No one will ever love you for you,
but someone might appreciate that you're willing to be yourself around him or her.






I'm sure the ending's terrible,
but endings always are.

So let's just enjoy this story
and pray we fall into a plot hole

and never find our way out.
