my niece. rather, my sister and her children

Dec 27, 2003 18:59

I don't consider myself the smartest person in the world, but I do think growing up I was a lot smarter than most of the other kids my age, and it was because of my sister.

(Yes, joyous occasions of joys for you, I made a crappy little journal thingy. There will be no enteries, however, at least for a long while.)

I understand what you mean, craving stability. Sometimes it seems like it would be so nice to just skip the bullshit and go straight for the things that matter. But really, when you're twenty, most are hitting the frats, trying to get laid. Sometimes you just want to write a little summary of all the things you've been through to distribute upon introduction. It's easier than reliving everything over, stringing together the long lines of incessant sob stories that've made you who you are presently. And all this for some future ideal, which nothing really keeps from you now, but it's just not a socially popular enough option to have much credit. People are strange like that.

strange indeed. i actually have thought about that. writing a ....autobiography? biography? the biography is the one you write yourself, right? or auto. whatever.

pamphlet of the trauma in my life.

its really not necessary though. what has happened to make you who you are isnt important, all that matters is that you ARE. so i just forget. the strings of sob stories are just distant memories. even everything that has happened this past month is fading from my memory, because I WANT to forget. its pointless, self serving drama, and i refuse to support it. i stand alone again, but with a much better outlook on things. just waiting for that day to come.

everyone that is older seems to say "you're young! have fun!" sure, i'm young, but having fun is tiring. i think romantic comedies have jaded me into finding the perfect guy when he doesn't exist. maybe that's why i hate romantic comedies (well, most of them- when harry met sally is probably the best one).

anyway, i got a ton of DVDs for christmas. we should get together and watch them like the old days. :)

Aren't smart kids great!? It's almost scary because you can't quite figure out how much knowledge they hide behind their ever-seeking innocent eyes.

Jonny doesnt hide how smart he is, he almost brags about it. Its really cute when you tell him "oh, youre so SMART!!!"

He blushes and turns his head a little to the side and says "yeah...."

In fact that was his big thing the other night. His favorite phrase was "yeah". It felt nice to have osmebody agreeing with me all the time ^_^
