Random Thoughts
May. 7th, 2003 05:09 pmIt's nice to see, in this day and age, that graciousness and gratitude still exist. Warms my heart, it does.
Things I am envious of this week include:
1-Everyone with a partner and a child. I know, it's dorky, but there it is. My three college roommates are all married with children or trying to get pregnant. In fact, almost everyone I know who is my age has a family. I don't even have a family of origin, much less one of my own. I'm no where near getting there, and I'm beginning to really think it just isn't going to happen. So here I am, having backed into exactly the life I never quite wanted to have. I always wanted to be a stay-at-home mom, but that wasn't a very PC goal for a Cliffie. So yeah, listening to Heidi talk about her renovations makes me pretty damn green. CC just makes fun of me for it, though.
2-Everyone nominated for an award. Yes, it's yet another opportunity for me to be petty about being eligible for something and knowing that I won't even be considered. Kinda takes the steam out of the sequel. Though, I did have a bit of it in my head today, hence the icon.
3-Everyone wandering off to another fandom. I'm not the fandom type; HP is my one and only. But I'm getting the feeling that everyone is going to sort of float away and it will be, "Clio, can you turn the lights out when you leave?"
I am not envious of people who have a job that they love. I used to love this job. I don't anymore, but I am doing things to get one that I will, and I know that will happen.
In other news, I am doing pretty well on my pledge to not give advice anymore. It's really helping my attitude, a ton.
