I think the emotional distance that’s taking precedence in most of my family/friend relationships (including with the parents) is something that can only be alleviated by actual physical distance. It’s kind of funny, really, how a lot of the time emotional & physical distance can have a sort of inverse proportion to them: sometimes the only way to be closer is to be further away.

Something important to be gleamed from this: long distance relationships will always seem a lot better than they really are.

It seems as of late I’m only writing here when I have immeasurably more important things to be doing. For example, right now, I should be studying for my Calculas final and finishing my Poli Sci take-home final. Take-home final! One of the few things I’ll miss about community college.

Eighteen days till I’m 20 years old. Dave and I have decided to celebrate our true transition into adulthood (our birthdays are only a week apart) by having an all day party at Boomers. Previously known as Family Fun Center, or more popularly known as the “Amusement Park For The Sort Of People That Shop At The 99-Cent Store”. Minigolf and go-karts and a free arcade, baby! I may be turning 20 but I’m procrastinating maturity till age 35, for sure.
