signs of adulthood
just this week i got news of 4 of my friends' (disassociated friends - meaning friends that don't belong in the same social circle) weddings or plans for a wedding. good heavens i also just realized i've gone to a wedding every labor day weekend since 2000. (exbf's and my anniversary happens to fall on labor day as well). but anyway...i always take note of people who like to say "i feel old". well i won't say old but damn....i'd like to claim the gateway to adulthood here. you know instead of wild weekends in vegas i'll be attending numerous showers, weddings, baptisms, and children's birthday parites instead. i'm reminded of Carrie's (on Sex and the City - it's real to me) gripes about being single amidst all her domesticated friends and all the while she's been attending their milestones, she has none yet but herself to celebrate. thats not exactly me but i always say i got the headstart but it seems for sure i won't win the race. don't get me wrong - i love all those wonderful family-oriented obligations and special occassions but its different when you're one in the crowd as opposed to belonging to a circle of adults who may lose their taste for adolesence or perhaps youth entirely. basically this is a warning to all of you living your comfortable and "happily ever after" lives....don't forget to have fun in spite of the new worlds you've built in your perfect marriage, perfect home, and cute cuddly kids. i toast those who can have a drink and hang out at a party or even just see a movie instead of refuse to participate or associate with the rest of the world. i don't know anyone like this right now but i sure do hope that one day it won't be you, or me . i'm just a scaredy-cat girl who doesn't wanna grow up and be old or boring and say "remember the good ol' days".....and instead say "good times are still here". word bitches.
