I need to learn to vary my sentence structure.
I'm discontented. Partly because I should be sleeping right now, but have neither the willpower nor the sleepiness to follow through. My sister is home this weekend, which is nice, since I haven't seen her in 3 months. Tonight, straight after coming home from work, I went to birthday dinner and "The Importance of Being Earnest" with the family. Earlier this week I felt like being a hermit, and the habit just continued. As a result, I have not seen a single friend since Sunday. Though I have a small, can-count-on-two-hands circle of friends, this seems like an eternity. I consider myself a people person, but in actuality, I like having a whole wing of the house to myself. My room, the "back" room, and my bathroom are primarily used by me, and the blanket used for insulation of the AC has acted as a door to the realm of Megan.
At lunch with my parents today, I recounted the tales and woes of 6-12 year olds. They told me how much they liked me working where I do, because it makes me realize why they parent me and Becky the way they do. I have to act like a mom, and in doing so, apparently grow up a little bit. Well, yes, I've graduated high school, and have a job. But I'm 18, and doggoneit, I'm not going to make excuses. I feel frustrated and emotional, and for the most part immature. I don't mind complaining about working everyday. I START TOO MANY SENTENCES WITH "I."
We live in a world of hypocracy. We hate it when we are complained to, but in our times of need, we scream out for attention. Some people live in completely different worlds.
This is my mummbled jumbo for tonight: I need some human contact outside of my relations.

Top of the World Dinner Party
Today, we decided to be adventurous.
Me, Alycia, Jessica, Stephanie, and Krystyna packed up the mini van with some blankets, instruments, and snackies, and headed to the hills to watch the sunset. After two small detours, we finally [after driving for a very long time] made it to a perfect viewpoint. We could see the entire Bay Area, from San Fransisco to the South Bay. We had a nice little picnic in the dark [as we had missed the sun go down...]. On the way to the lookout spot we drove past some mountains, and for a fleeting moment, I caught the sunset between two distant hills. It was one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. And yet, I was the driver, and had to focus on the road. The driving wasn't too bad, but everyone likes to drive like crazy people in the hills. I drive the speed limit. Sorry. I don't want to get car sick or die. I'll be happy coasting in Neutral all the way home.
I want to do it again. Maybe we can catch the sun set for reals next time.
