I need to make a to do list.

A great, big, fantastically thought-out and artfully crafted to do list to hang on my wall.

Maybe it will help me actually get things done.

Or it could just be an awesome arts and crafts project done in the name of productivity.

Yeah, so, totally failed at keeping up with the question-a-day posts. Whatevs.

In a funk. Feeling a little lonely/left-out/possibly a little betrayed?. Betrayed might not be the right word. Maybe confused is better. Maybe not.

I shouldn’t let it bother me. I’m probably the only one even thinking about it. But that kinda bothers me too.

Is it bad that my best friend’s birthday is tomorrow, but I don’t want to participate in the festivities simply because I don’t like what they are? Mostly the nightclub part. I really don’t want to go to the club. I don’t want to spend hours styling hair that will come undone after 5 minutes of dancing, putting on makeup that takes 20 minutes to apply and 30 seconds to sweat off, wearing clothes that are as uncomfortable as too-tight underwear and require twice the adjustment, and walking around in shoes that are more likely to make you twist an ankle than turn heads.

And, as the best friend of the birthday girl, I will be responsible for fending off creepy dudes, helping her stand up, making sure she doesn’t get too crazy while in view of the bouncers, and fetching water…all while sober, since I’ll be the DD as well.

I know it’s selfish, but I just don’t want to do it. I don’t mind taking care of my drunk best friend, but if I’m going to, I’d much rather do it surrounded by friends at a party than crowded by strangers on a dance floor.

Maybe I’m just in a bad mood. I may feel differently tomorrow night. I probably just need to get some sleep.

Day 04 (Your views on religion): I don’t like how it separates people. People are entitled to believe what they want, and I’m not against having traditions or rules that set you apart from other people, except for when people become arrogant because they think their beliefs are the only right ones, or their rules are the best. Personally, I believe in God and go to church sometimes, but I wouldn’t call myself a “Christian.” I think the world would be a better place if people stopped caring so much about who follows what religion, and just started caring about each other.

It’s a day late…finals are too blame. Better late than never, right? Day 03 - Your views on drugs and alcohol: Eh, I guess it kinda depends on the type of substance. Cigarettes are gross, but I’ll admit to being a bit of a hypocrite, since I’m still a smoker. However, chewing tobacco and dip are just downright nasty. Cigars…well, they smell good, but that’s about it as far any appealing qualities. Weed’s never really been my thing, and I’m on the fence about legalization. I don’t having anything against smoking, but, like alcohol, I think it should be controlled, mostly for accountability reasons. As far as alcohol goes, it’s all about moderation. A few drinks occasionally can be fine, or a glass of wine with dinner a couple nights a week, but frequent binge drinking or excessive habitual drinking can cause huge problems. As for everything else, anything that’s illegal should stay illegal and anything that’s controlled should stay controlled. Some recreational drugs may be fun, but they are too easily contaminated and can be really dangerous. I don’t necessarily think they are ok, but I don’t judge anyone who experiments or indulges once in a very great while. The only exceptions are much harder drugs-heroine, meth, PCP, etc. Experimenting or “indulging” with them even once is just plain stupid.

Day 02 - Where you’d like to be in 10 years: I want to be a mom. I want to get up early and cook breakfast for my family, do crafts and cook fun meals with my kids and read to them before they go to bed. I want to go on dates with my husband to funky restaurants and rock concerts. I want to kiss him when he leaves for work, and then when he gets home, and I want him to be able to talk to me about anything and everything. I want to throw Christmas and New Year’s Eve parties, and spend all day on Thanksgiving cooking. I want to drive my kids where they need to be, sing crazy songs with them in the car, and be the one in the crowd cheering the loudest, applauding the longest, and crying the hardest.  I want to show them how to be good, caring, giving people. I want to expect them to always do their best and to always do the right thing, no matter how hard it is. I want to teach them to dream big, work hard, and love much. I want to make my mark on the world by raising children who want to make a mark on the world.

Screw. Homework.

I hate caring about getting good grades. It’s cutting into my playtime.

“Yes, a thousand times yes.” Day 01 (continued): I’ll be single until I find this. Even if it takes me a lifetime.
