I'm getting up there in years, yo.
So I turn 24 next week. Eek. One year away from a quarter of a century. Eek. Let me ask you...where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday I was playing with my Barbie dolls, and running around in pigtails like I didn't have a care in the world. And now...now my Barbies have all been sold in a yard sale, and I never wear pigtails. Nor do I run anymore, for fear I will drop dead of a heart attack (not really...I'm just out of shape and lazy).
So anyway...I can feel my biological clock ticking. Ticking away. Practically everyone I went to high school with is now married or has children, or both. But they're all just kids! No, wait...they're not kids anymore. It's so hard to think of myself (and them) as adults. It's just not possible. I mean, one of my friends from high school is 25, and she just had a baby a couple of weeks ago. But she does not seem like she is 25. I keep thinking of her as that teeny bopper girl in high school, who loved New Kids on the Block. She had a baby?! What the...?! It's so hard to believe, really. It all seems surreal. Everyone is growing up. Including me. Yet...I feel like I'm standing still. I have hardly evolved since high school. I'm not married. I haven't had a baby. I don't have a career. It's like I am frozen in time. All around me, time is ticking away. I can hear it, see it, and feel it tick on by, but I'm not doing anything. Oh look at me....I'm rambling.
Tetanus Update #...3? 4? Eh...anyway...my jaw still hurts a bit. And it's still a little stiff. But maybe it's gotten better. I'm not sure. I should knock on wood when I say that. I've never understood how knocking on wood has any significance whatsoever, but I say it all the time nonetheless. Look! I'm rambling again! I think I need to go find something to do.
