High school friends and relationships
Aug. 9th, 2002 10:06 pmI've been thinking about writing a long entry about this summer for a while. It was a really huge growing up step. I feel like I see the whole world through independent eyes. I read in a book that a woman has $100 in cash in her pocket and I know that that is enough to feed her for a month, if she is willing to eat cheaply. I visited some old high school friends today, and I am once again shocked by how much I have changed and how much they are the same. It's like another world. We worked on a silly scrapbook thingie for Carolyn... and well... a project like that, done with people whom I am comfortable joking with, would probably be a ton of fun. But as it was I felt really uncomfortable. These people wouldn't get the joke in Dave Barry's book suggesting that people who do not believe in "Living-In-Sin" should jump directly to the chapter on sex. Okay, Carissa might think it was funny, but I don't think Sarah or Katrina would. Carissa said they "spotted" her sisters apartment after her sister got married and hid condoms all over it, but they thought Carolyn would find that offensive, so they wont do that for her. And it's good that they respect her feelings, but do they honestly think that Carolyn and her new husband aren't going to have sex? Or maybe they aren't supposed to use birth control because they are mormon or something, but I'd risk that offense to encourage a friend to not get pregnant so she could stay in school.
I think there is a reason why I left this place and these people and didn't look back for so long. The people at Mudd can get obnoxious in their liberality, but I do prefer it.
Sarah asked me, "If you had to get married tomorrow, would you marry Josh?"
I didn't really know what she meant. "You mean if somebody was forcing me to get married, but I could marry anyone I wanted?" She said yes. I resisted the urge to rudely say that of course he is my current first choice, that if he weren't I wouldn't be dating him, that I'd be practically obligated to break off the relationship. But she was asking an honest, serious, and very simple question. So I gave an honest, serious, and very simple answer. She said she felt the same way about Scott. I didn't say that I was relieved to hear it seeing as they have sort of been dating for 2 years. Where by "dating" I mean that they have been going on dates with each other for 2 years. That's an odd concept in and of itself. I mean, to me a date means getting all dressed up and feeling extremely uncomfortable and scared while you go out somewhere with some guy you hardly know and don't particularly like and this all happened because your girlfriends coerced you into it. To me, that it what the noun "date" means.
Mostly I had a very enjoyable day with them though, even if it was a little uncomfortable. I swiped a picture of the "Robbing Bros, Worlds Largest Engagement Ring Store" out of one of the bridal magazines when we were cutting out pictures for the scrapbook, but I don't think any of them got it. Have I told you guys about "Robbing Bros"? It's actually "Robbins Bros" but the "s" really looks like a "g." Josh, Alex, and I found it one day when we went to Mont Clair Plaza.
So look at that, a long entry and I still haven't hardly said anything about summer. I really want to just sit down and write about it one of these days, because I only have the rest of my life to live like I'm out in the real world.
Saw "Men in Black 2" with my parents and brother tonight. I enjoyed it. I should hunt down Christa and see if she wants to see Austin Powers 3 again. She's probably only had time to see it a few dozen times or so. Then again, I could assume she's matured a little bit and not encourage her to try to bring it to the top in the box office by herself.
I tried to take the "Romance Meter" test thing, but out of 6 questions, there was only one answer I could honestly check. Anybody want to guess what it was?
