This blog must be super boring to basically anyone who lays eyes on it. I feel like I'm no fun anymore! I am slowly making the switch to responsible adult, and that scares me, because I haven't learned yet how to walk the line between "responsible" (read, boring) adult and hooligan kid. It seems I'm always either one or the other. I'm either getting busted breaking curfew, or asleep before ten, before the legitimate old people quiet down.
I know I'm not a boring person by nature, at least I hope, but I need to learn to do fun stuff, without it being super childly. Like, I was just realizing today, I stopped singing in the shower! Like a long time ago! How sad is that?! It's really sad, for all of you who don't do that. You should start. I'm going to.
I don't need any help being immature--I feel like I've basically written the book--but I do sometimes need to loosen up about things, and relax. I've been reading a bunch on mylifeisaverage.com, and it's been depressing me, because I used to have oodles of stories that were worthy! But most of them were not mine, and I can't think of very many past high school, and I can think of none recently. I miss magical life! This kind of hearkens back to my "This is the day" post a while back.
Just, the Lord has made so many great things, and there are so many little ways to find a little bubble of--laughter, joy, magic, whatever--in life all the time! That's probably the cheesiest thing I've ever said, but it's true! So tomorrow, I'm maybe going to play in the leaves with my dog. Or maybe leave a "Pick me!" note in a favorite book for some future reader in the library. Or maybe just sing in the shower? Oooh, I have to pick a song! :) I miss being excited about little things...

I sympathise with ya. :-P Being adult-ish is fun, but there is that line between childlyness and adultishness that is hard to fully cross over.
And I never thought about how I never sing in the shower anymore... probably because most of my showers are at work, but that should be no excusse. Next time, I'm singing something. Thank you for opening my eyes! :-)
Wow, I was just journaling about this the other day. Freaky! But for real, I'm so with you. Just a few weeks ago I climbed a tree for the first time in maybe five years, and it felt AWESOME! It was so fun to feel that rush of excitement again!
And I still sing in the shower, just not when anyone else is around to listen. =)
At my house, there is NEVER anyone not there to listen, with Mom working from home, haha. But even so! That never used to stop me before...
And climbing a tree is a GREAT idea.
Good for you too, for singing in the shower at work even! That's impressive.
I shower when my family is around to listen, just not other people, even my friends. Sorry... =)
