I just got the funniest phone call. It was my mom. She's attending this huge family reunion this weekend, and she's getting all the 'update' paperwork done. She called to ask me what exactly she should put down for my occupation. I laughed at first, then slowly realized that there isn't an easy answer to that. I don't really want "Shoe Salesman" put down.... and I'm not technially a full time "Nanny" yet. When I suggested "Artist/Writer" she nearly flipped her lid at the thought of her family knowing I was a crazy new age hippie. I have a strong feeling I'm just going to be classified as "Student"
I have a new addiction. A really really bad addiction I must say. When I was stranded in the aforementioned Montana, I stayed a couple nights in this hotel that just so happened to have HBO. I made the mistake of catching an episode of Sex and the City. I should have known better. All my girlfriends that watch it told me I'd love it.... and I DO! It's so great! So since I've returned I've made 4 yes 4 trips to the Hollywood Video renting past seasons of SATC which I watch at least twice to make sure I know all the details. If you know me, which I'm assuming you do else why the hell are you at this page and how did you find it, you know that I pride myself on being able to recall the entire plot of certain television shows by watching the first minute. For instance, give me any episode of Beverly Hills 90210, Saved By the Bell, or Dawson's Creek, and I'll give you the episode synopsis ASAP. Well that's what I hope to acheive with Sex and the City. And they also have really great clothes.
I must say though it's also really opening my mind to relationships, and singledom, and how people think about single females. I met a woman today who, during the conversation, asked me if I had a boyfriend. When I said no, this look of disbelief / disgust instantaniously popped on her faced and she asked.... 'Why'?
Why not?? Hello --- I'm only 22 years old ( 23 in less than a month quick shameless plug to remind you all that my birthday is July 24th). I'm far from Old Maid status. This issue has been bugging me for awhile, since it was also brought up by some family members while I was home. I realized they worry that I'm never going to 'settle down' and will always put myself first. Guess what, that last one is true. I will always put myself first. I look out for myself so well that I'm extremely picky as to who I spend time with, and at this point in my life there isn't anyone who fits that bill. It's not like I don't date. That is definatly a no. If you want names I'll give you names.... Hmm I didn't realize how strongly I felt about this issue. I better head to the Hollywood Video for some reinforcement!
