What do all these things have in common?
They are all things I still enjoy at the age of 20 and things I enjoyed at the age of 2 as well (except for the fact that Dora the Explorer didn't exist yet, but you get my point). What I'm trying to say with this post is that... I still want to enjoy my "childhood" or whatever you want to call it. I may be past my "teen years," but that doesn't mean I am completely ready to be fully responsible. I am in no way, shape, or form ready to get married and/or have little demon children of my own to take care of.
I think a couple of things about this matter:
1. Sex makes babies. Unless you want babies, don't have sex. And if you do have sex (which you shouldn't) BE CAREFUL about it. Use protection. Don't be an idiot.
2. If you're my age and you're married... you are crazy. Seriously how are you ready to be married at this age? For real?
3. If you're my age and married and already have a kid (or one on the way or a kid AND one on the way) then you have got to be completely insane! Motherhood and I are just simply not ready to be used in a sentence together, unless that sentence is "Motherhood and I are not ready to be acquaintances, friends, or even come in contact with each other yet."
Instead of doing these things I am going to ENJOY my YOUTH! (That's a better word than childhood). I like to wear my footie pajamas. I like to color in my Dora the Explorer coloring book (Thanks Katie Matheson) and I like to watch animated movies. (Yes, I know the third one is weak... but I couldn't think of anything else that was relatable to future topics to be discussed).
During my Christmas break, I did:
1. Peter Pan Cast Reunion. I never knew everything that "It's so fluffy I'm going to die" could mean. This party was a hoot and a half, even though every other person hated every other person. Except, it seems, for me and Quartney.
2. Had a footie pajama party with Katie and Courtney, complete with a pajama clad trip to Jack in the Box at 2 am (where they forgot Courtney's tacos) and a a tiny bit of sleep. We also had pancakes! Yum!
3. Katie and I went to visit our dearest Steven. :) This made us happy. We went shoppin', went to starbucks... and whatever it is that Katie got for me... was YUMMY, watched a movie about a horse, ate pizza, and PARTIED. TWAS great fun. <3
4. Got introduced to Just Dance 2. I am now obsessed with this ridiculously fun game. "Ra-ra-Rasputin Russia's greatest love machine" is probably one of the best songs I have ever heard.
5. Glee Karaoke Revolution. According to this game, together my beloved Courtney and I, despite our epic whiteness, make up 2 halves of Mercedes. We sang all her songs together, and both got 50%. We are incredibly gifted. No one else can compete with us (except for maybe Mercedes herself). I am so proud. :)
6. French Fries and Mushrooms. This is a tradition that started oh so long ago (Okay maybe like... 2 years ago really). Katie and I always get an appetizer sampler from Perkins. And a side of fries. And a side of sauteed mushrooms. Fries + Mushrooms = Heaven. Try it. This is one of favorite times together. And this time we saw GINA! :) Which made it even better.
I think those are pretty much the highlights of my Christmas break.
Now I'm in Provo. I start school tomorrow. Again. YUCK. I'm not really very excited to be honest. But alas, it's part of the VERY slow process of growing old...
CIAO.
GASP. You saw GINA?! And I DIDN'T?! CURSE YOU!!!!
