The weather outside is nice. I want to get a tent and go trespass in somebody's woods and spend a night there. I'd set a fire, read a book, make wieners. It'd be great.
When I used to work I would've been in bed by now. 9:30 pm...and some days, when I could do it, earlier.
I think the biggest thing I've learned since High School is how important sleep is for the human body, and mind for that matter. You can get pretty down on not enough Z's.
I was at a party on friday, last friday, and all of the people there didn't like dancing. It was crazy, they had techno and rap blaring, but I was the only fool up in the place cutting the rug. Everyone else just sort of looked at me stupid, like "Don't spill my beer."
I guess it goes to show that some people are truly different. I'm not one for Ego's, and I think that's what I encountered that night. A room of one huge non-dancing EGO.
Tomorrow I am in search of some part-time work at an old employer. I worked for this country club two summers in a row, and in the process I made friends with my co-workers. They are two older ladies, and they are quite nice to me. They told me all about growing up, and working at other places ( More then once on some occassions). Listening to the older folk talk about their youth is awesome. Try it sometime. They get all lit up, and it's as if they themselves are reliving a part of life they nearly forgot about. It's great. We used to sit in our lunch room for hours (payed hours) and all I do was listen to their stories (they've been friends, and in contact for a long time, so they can sort of build off of one another as far as recollection and storytelling goes.)
I notice I am a lot more comfortable around older folks. Maybe at some point we stop trying to prove ourselves, prove our manliness, prove our sex appeal, and we calm down...We let that self-worth hookup go. I feel awkward around people my age. People ten years older, or more, and I find it a lot easier to relate to them, to talk to them, and to ask them questions. Who knows?
ASK QUESTIONS. anything you are curious about. It's a good idea to ask.

I know what you mean. But for me i just get really shy around people my age, or attempt to be what they want me to be. Their judgment can be so harsh, that I don't act myself around them, and I feel that I have to put on a mask in order to be liked. If there's one thing I hate, its being something i'm not; and around other teens i find myself pretending...I don't really know how to stop it either. Adults/Older people are fun to talk to because they get the teen stuff (cause they've already lived through it) and the adult hood stuff. Its so nice to actually be ME with adults, rather then some rendition of what others my age want me to be.
I absolutely adore older people...they are so wise and understanding...I feel like you can tell them anything b/c chances are they really have been there and done that...I'm glad you made friends with them...and chances are they appreciate it too
