When did we become adults?

What the hell happened to us? I don't remember it being like this. When did we start to care about interest rates and who was having babies... on purpose? It's amazing how it sneaks up on you. We are actual adults now. Like xkcd says: we get to decide what that means.

It's really awesome in some ways - that whole deciding what it means part is pretty cool. The complicatedness and the obligation and responsibility - not so cool.

I think I wanna go back for a day. Or a week. Maybe even a month. Just screw around and really enjoy it for a few days. Let's go do something stupid like drive around in a convertible going 90mph - and have a friend with a fake ID buy some booze and go get drunk in our parents basement. The most we had to worry about was our parents catching us with a six pack.

This is what you get when you make me plan a move for 4 hours in a row. *Sigh*

Good things of growing up include
- Buying stuff cause you can and have money
- Not having to take "orders" in your home life from anyone and even the orders from your boss are usually debatable. (Im sure our married friends might disagree with this one)
- Getting up and going where you want when you want.

Your post outlines the bad things. All of which are very true.

And now for the Weekend update, with your host: Tina Fay

I only wish I had the ingenuity that Tina Fay has in her writing... I'm afraid I'm a desperate lot and most often any attempts at being humorous fall flatter than the breasts in the Itty Bitty Titty Committee. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), this weekend was relatively tame. Lots of drinking -- but not that exciting. Didn't really get to meet a lot of new people. Though the highlight had to be the marriage proposal I got. Yes, that's right, a marriage proposal. While I'm waiting impatiently to get into the single stall in the ladies room -- I recieved the most amazingly wretched drunk pickup line weirdness. "Will you marry me." Me: "Excuse me are you talking to me?" Druken boy: "Yeah, will you marry me?" Me: "Um no, I don't even know you. I don't even live here." Drunken boy: "Me either." Me: "Um okay -- so I just want to pee." Drunken boy: "But will you ...

Nicest Weather EVER!

The ride to work this morning was amazing. It was some of the nicest weather that I've seen in a long time. Almost 60 deg F, sunny, just nice. I want more of this weather. Bought tickets today for BOSTON! I'm in major need of a mini-break and in major need of getting away from work for a few days. I'm so excited to go back! I miss it sooo much. It's hard living somewhere you don't like. It just makes me think of looking for another job so that I don't have to live here anymore. But I'm not even partially vested yet -- so I need to stay at least a full year to become at least partially vested. *Sigh* Work stucks today for so many reasons. I'm glad it's friday. And I'm really glad I get to go to Boston next weekend. Yeah for Boston!
