graduating high school and moving out. easily.



   

I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!

i am a little biased on this query because my parents weren't meant to have kids. they really weren't. sad, but true. they aren't nurturing the way my friend's parents are. they expect too much of me. maybe the fact that they couldn't get pregnant was a sign. they just really don't know what it means to be selfless. to put a child first, instead of yourself. and because of that, i've been grown up since i was about 7. i had to be.



i honestly think most people feel social obligation to have kids. that or the biological clock feeds them romanticized ideals about what having kids is like. it's no picnic. they're loud, messy, annoying, a liability, a responsibility, they change EVERYTHING. and it gets even harder as they get older. not easier.



you shouldn't have a baby because you're worried you're running out of time to do so, or because you love your husband/boyfriend/girlfriend/wife what have you. you should have one because your joy comes from providing for others and you are ready to take on the financial and ethical responsibilities that come with it.

monday:
puked like a little bitch for the first three hours of my day. omgosh it was AWFUL. the bike ride home surprisingly did some good. :]] i felt better and had an appetite when i got home. simon called to surprise me by saying he was coming into town on tuesday! :D



tuesday:
i hadn't seen him since the end of may. it was a well deserved visit. we went to see "don't mess with the zohan" which was really stupid, but the makeout session was amazing. :P unfortunately i'm on my preiod otherwise i might've had sex with him right then and there. ;]] then we had la salsa and we had an AMAZING adventure in walgreens!!! omgosh "bag o' socks", "fiddle faddle", and "life-like gooey toys" omgosh it was the funniest shit! and there was a tickle-me-elmo! wow. funny funny shit.



wednesday:
kinda just hung out at home... simon came over to try to help me fix my laptop. whatever my entire user is corrupt. i'd delete it, but i need the music and such. so i'll just let it sit. it was fun we went for a walk to the park and what not. it was just really chill. :]]



thursday:
saw WALL-E with my friends! so amazing! :DDD still bummed simon didn't go! he would've loved it! but it was still amazingly fun. then went to market and met simon for dinner (which he paid for! thanks babe :]]). we went to sultan's bistro. DELICIOUS!!! we had "gyros" for some reason pronounced "euros". they were salty and rich and a completely unique constellation of flavors. i could eat one everyday. mmmmmmm :]]. market was fun we roamed around and eventually met neil and tanna and jonelle. then i took jahlela and monica home with me and jahlela is currently asleep on my couch lol!



that's my week thus far. drinking, boyfriend, friends, good movies, and (to come) a national holiday. it has it all! i'm sure my july 4th will be amazing as well. we have things that go "boom!" :D will update tomrrow.
