Hello. Lately this summer I have been trying to hang around with some people my age. New friends, old friends, college kids on summer break. I have concluded this:
It is not worth it. They only want to do the things they want to do, when they want to do them, no matter who it inconveniences. I have gone to movies, the beach, and a comedy club. In these experiences I have realized that I was slowly becoming like them. Not informing people where I was, putting aside other tasks, behaving thoughtlessly, and all in the name of "having fun because I am on summer break".
Tonight I realized it when I left half way through seeing Margaret Cho at a comedy club. There was a missed opportunity. Then I got in trouble for not telling anyone where I was. Suddenly I was one of the people I make fun of.
No more I say! Work, then intelligent play and useful things. I really scared my mom tonight by not telling her where I was and I feel so stupid. I am glad I got that out of my system, but I really wish I hadn't even done it at all. It just seemed so innocent, so fun, but it was really just typical.
Anyway, that's my rant.
