strange ambitions.

Jan 11, 2008 13:07

i know i've talked about this before, but more and more, i feel life trapping me into a social norm and that's not what i want to be. i don't just want to travel. i don't want to go to somewhere in the US and stay there and check it off on my lists of states visited. when i say i'd love to travel the country, i mean like, practically on foot. i ( Read more... )

I totally understand how you feel. I would love, love, love to just go to Italy and spend the summer there. You know, just a small house in the countryside, but close enough to Rome to get some killer shopping done. Problem comes with money. And I doubt my parents would be thrilled with that. But, if I ever do, you are welcome to join me. We can pick up hot Italian guys and buy some amazing shoes. ^^

And the social norm thing is kinda why I want to join a sorority. I've done this geek, kinda weird, kinda outsiderish, but with amazing cool friends thing and I've never explored other lifestyles and I want to see what else is out there. I want to do something completely different and just kinda see where it takes me.

If you ever need a friend to go biking across country with, I just need to fix the flat tire on my mountain bike and I'm good to go. =D

my parents are like that. only if i am going to do something they wouldn't want me to do i just lie :\

i don't get it either. i can have dan sleep over every night at my apartment, stay out til whenever, and basically do anything, when i'm at school. but when i'm home it's like "don't come home too late" and if i asked them if dan could sleep over here, they would laugh at me. when i left to go party for new year's, they were giving me so many speeches. but they know that i party every week at school. it's so strange.

have you ever thought of studying abroad? or would they not be okay with that?

I have the same thing with my parents... problem is I really do need them for several things.. sadly money especially, for now, and to defy them (as I've found out over the past year) has pretty nasty consequences...

However... if you and I lived off the land together... I'm sure I wouldn't mind checking out of the home for a while :P

I love you!

first i gotta say...offroading!! damnnn haha!!

ok now about your parents. you remember my parents were pretty damn strict too...they still were up until actually a few months ago...actually about oct. or so...when rich got his own place [long story] in aug. i basically kinda moved in. they didn't like it at first, but i actually sat them down and told them i am 20 years old i am getting older...it's not like i don't love you guys and i am not going to leave you guys. your still my family. i told them i am not going to do anything stupid, and if they think i am going to do something stupid that what makes them think i will when i never did to much to defy them...ya kno?! so maybe sit down and talk to your parents. i meantioned to them also that whenever i was at rich's i was up/out until 4 or so in the morning also...and if i was away at college they couldnt control me...they actually lightened up on me a bit...try it...
