I just feel sometimes, that people around me are out boozing and having all of this fun that I miss out on because I'm working, schooling, etc. I do have fun, don't get me wrong, but there seems to be something soo alluring about being careless and I can't allow myself to be that way. So I justify it with a blog about being grown up ;-)fattygetsfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14839824006588569581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098613230436574188.post-15749014171670122302008-09-29T08:57:00.000-05:002008-09-29T08:57:00.000-05:00I agree with you on the growing-up thing.

My sis and I are the same age (we're part of quadruplets), yet I'm living on my own and solving my own problems, and she is continually asking other people to solve hers (and nothing is ever her fault). <BR/><BR/>She also mentioned a possibility of my parents "making" me move back in with them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098613230436574188.post-55511411907634686682008-09-29T06:50:00.000-05:002008-09-29T06:50:00.000-05:00I love being privy to your innerbrainworkings.And ...I love being privy to your innerbrainworkings.<BR/><BR/>And you are far more 'grownup' in the *good ways* than I was at 24 (there's a reason I wasn't a mom till 36)<BR/><BR/>For me, now, my only MUST for the grown up life are things that are truly musts ;)<BR/><BR/>Caring for Tornados needs (which I'd do anyway)<BR/><BR/>Paying bills.<BR/><BR/>It does shock me though when I look in the mirror, FGF.<BR/><BR/>I feel 16.<BR/>I look not16.<BR/>Cognitive dissonance (sp)<BR/><BR/>MizFitcarlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189971808958997845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098613230436574188.post-5136501248360372162008-09-29T02:00:00.000-05:002008-09-29T02:00:00.000-05:00You're 24?

The things you say on here and in comments on other blogs shine out because they're so incredibly perceptive, and it's so heartening that you're working in a field where other, less fortunate people will get to benefit from your mind. No B-S. Because you will just get better at this as you get older. That's pretty exciting.<BR/><BR/>Everybody grows older but not everybody grows up. Wisdom does not always follow with age.<BR/><BR/>Me? I'm still working on it. But then I suspect we'll always be working on it in some way, even when we're 85.<BR/><BR/>TA xPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13140441387378978556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098613230436574188.post-65671814717112434312008-09-28T15:11:00.000-05:002008-09-28T15:11:00.000-05:00i know that certain brands make semi-permanent dye...i know that certain brands make semi-permanent dyes but they last 4-6 shampoos.

Learning to suck it up instead of getting riled up.<BR/><BR/>I realized a year ago that I get 99% of my confidence from my mom. I think more and more I'm starting to accept myself separately, especially since she's super super skinny and not muscular and I'm more muscular now, so...I'm still confident? (Our mutual weights being the issue of choice).<BR/><BR/>OH. And the comp? CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so proud, and I'm betting you passed with flying colors.<BR/><BR/>Chop off all the hair or just a little bit? It's pretty hair! Don't make it go bye-bye. :(<BR/><BR/>PS: Do you know if there exists a store-bought wash that'll only dye my hair darker for like a week so I can test it out?The Bear Cub Bakeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14614363188710567315noreply@blogger.com
