DRAMALLAMA

Update: I am not just sick, I have a MAGICALLY EVOLVING SICKNESS! Over the past five days I have gone from sore throat to feeling generally zombiefied to severe sinus clogging and now I'm back at sore throat, but with a bonus cough and headache!

I guess I should be glad I haven't yet been sick enough to miss a day of uni. And I Got Stuff Done today, which is good, because my to-do list is as long as my arm. Maybe as long as Gumbi's arm, considering that it seems to have an endless ability to ELONGATE.

I am trying not to think about the fact that my little brother is turning 19 in two days, because then I'll have to think about what this means, which is that I myself am turning 22 in December. TWENTY-TWO. THAT'S PRETTY FUCKIN' PALINDROMIC.

AND ALSO OLD*.

Twenty-two, Jesus Christ. The list of things that I haven't done yet is looking pretty pathetic. Sometimes it seems like I am going to be a single, impoverished student for the rest of my life.

*Not that I am trying to insult, er, the majority of my flist by insinuating that they are grey-bearded elders, but you should realise that inside my head I only just got used to being 18.

OH GOOD, YOU SHALL BE MY MINE-CANARY. ER. IN THE DEEP DARK MINES OF BEING 22.

Don't worry, I think most of my discontentedness stems from the fact that my future career training kind of stretches off endlessly into the blue. And if I'm almost-22 NOW, HOW OLD WILL I BE THEN?? (I refuse to actually count. I will get too depressed.)

Your younger brother's contemporaries now have mortgages tying them to one spot, remember?

But you have a family and a job and all those good adult things, right? When I'm 26 I will ONLY JUST HAVE GRADUATED FROM SCHOOL.

but but... the family was very unplanned! And happened way before I was actually ready (when I was 20) XD I only graduated 2 years ago and got a job 1.5 years ago so REALLY, you have a lot of time left to do the graduating/get a steady job thing! XD

If my mom's still singing along with 'hope I die before I get old' and meaning it, YOU'RE NOT OLD.

OH MY GOD, I KNOW. From the position of being a whole day younger than you. AAAAAAAAAAAH. How is it already almost October?!

I am jealous of your achievements. My annotated bibliography for which I have to read things (in Japanese) and annotate them (in Japanese) is due in a week-- less, considering it's due next Wednesday by five-- and I haven't started! ahahaha fail.

Feel better soon!

Dude, my younger brother turned 19 earlier this year (I was still kind of in denial about his being eighteen), and I turned 22 earlier this month. So, uh, I feel you, is what I'm saying.

But seriously, that list? You've got a lot of time to work on it. And it's important to look at the list of things you have accomplished from time to time, too--which will keep getting longer and longer. :)

19 IS NOT A PROPER AGE FOR LITTLE BROTHERS. (Frankly I'm still not quite over the fact that he's taller than I am, and that happened YEARS ago.)
