My Twenty-Something Quasi-Soap

growing up sucks. really, it does. i just got back from lunch with rena, one of my best friends from high school. she's moving to virginia next week with her 1 1/2 year old daughter and her sister who's going to start college. i'm hoping everything works out well for her and the baby...i know it's going to be ok, but i can't help worrying. i didn't realize how hard it was going to be to say goodbye to rena...but i guess it makes sense that it was. she was the first person at my new high school to really welcome me and make me feel a little better about moving halfway across the country. that was 5 years ago. holy crap, 5 years...it doesn't feel like it's been that long. but i guess that's a part of growing up, realizing that people grow up and move away. i mean, you can't stay home forever. well, you can, but you really wouldn't experience life that way. at least move across town or something. or maybe i just feel that way because i'm no

Of course, my parents don't know this yet. But I don't care because I'm old enough to not have to ask if I can go somewhere. I just get in the car and go. Plus, I'm still not speaking to my mother. Anyway, this weekend is going to be a whole lot of fun because we're going clubbing tonight and then we're headed for the beach tomorrow. Tomorrow night we'll come back up to NB to hang out at the house and celebrate both the 4t
