@achewood I haven't had a haircut since July. I'm hoping to, "wait it out."

I got home from work at 5 and my last friend who is still in college came over. We hung out and talked until 7 or 8, then more friends came over to play a board game. We stayed up pretty late playing. It was really nice. I often get pretty distracted during games, if you can imagine, so people get REALLY MAD when I win or almost-win. That is always satisfying in a strange way.

Also, a girl who previously kind of blew me off dating-wise got in touch inviting me to a dinner party. On the one hand, New Inev wants to say "you had your chance." On the other hand, I am an adult and she is an adult and people date people. Who cares. New friends are good, dinner is good, and it's my night off.

Yesterday I finished talking to my reference letter people for grad school apps. GREs in 2 weeks. So: 30 minutes to an hour of GRE problems a day on my workdays, practice tests on days off. 2.5 months until the first applications are due, need to write cover letters and fill out forms and do financial aid stuff. This is doable. I can do this. And then when I realize I planned poorly and every option involves 40k+ in student debt, I can go to Chile instead. Or, maybe, I will get into a school that offers me aid/graduate assistant positions and have an exciting academic adventure for a few years in New Jersey or Boston or California or Chicago. If that happens maybe I could go to Chile in the spring/summer before school.

This all sounds reasonable and well thought out... except the connection between "exciting" and "New Jersey."

well, talking to my friend, he said a lot of people who are in the program at Rutgers seem to do internships and jobs in NYC during the summers. That would be cool. But also Camden and Philadelphia seem like cities with stuff going on, urban planning wise. He also said "don't go to Rutgers" but did not express details. Will get in touch with him.

Yesterday I went to my parents' house to pick up some of my stuff. On Friday they found out dad's company needs him to move to NC for some big construction projects. He might have to go down there in a month or two and mom and grandma will likely follow in the spring. This is going to make holidays and such much less convenient for me.

Yes, but if you're in central NC for holidays you can stop in and visit me!

Saturday night I had a friend over and we got drunk and talked about boys. Which sounds like a fun girl's night in except that my friend is a gay dude.

Today one of my best friends told me that she is getting married. The guy is nice. I am feeling kind of weird about it. Aren't grownups supposed to get married? She's just a kid!

The last experience I had with the two of them was that he drunkenly punched out the glass on a fire extinguisher box and was bleeding everywhere, and she said "THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE KIDS-- THEY'D BE fuck*ng IDIOTS."

Here in NJ we see NC as the promised land. Everyone talks about bailing to NC. I prefer DC/NoVA, but that's because I'm young.

That's what I thought about the first time or two friends of mine got married. I thought we were all way too young for that scene.

You know you've reached a certain age when your friends start having babies on purpose.

That happened to me a few weeks ago, though that friend is five years older than me.  So, yeah, I don't have to have a breakdown, but fuck, what are we doing here.

Most of my good friends are around 5 years older or younger than me.  I have like three really close friends that are my age, and everyone else is either 22 or 32.  It is weird.
