Yes, I even bore myself....

So needless to say the lifestyle up here is TOTALLY different than in Florida. I'm still trying to get used to the thought of "hanging out" meaning go sit in someone's living room and watch football and play Euchre. Huh? What ever happened to gold ol' getting your hottest gear on and heading for the latest clubs to party till the sun comes up "hanging out"? And it seems like EVERYONE my age is married, especially if they have kids. There are some Carmelites (the city I live in) that are older with kids and divorced, but noone my age. And alot of the people that are single are hyper-fixed on their future mate. I'm just not used to that train of thought! But I am trying to fit in. I figure my friends and I can meet in the middle. We won't club EVERY weekend, and we'll be home before 3 AM, and I'll conceed to a few bonfires and random card games with a smile. Oh, and since there are apparently NO single guys my age that are brave enough to chase a wild child like myself, I've taken to dating the younger crowd :) Hehehehehehe :) So, in the pics you'll see my new "crowd" at one such bonfire, acting as wild as they know how. Oh, and no, I wasn't high at the time. I was just smiling so much from having such good, clean fun that my eyes disappeared!
On a sadder note....my x-boyfriend of almost three years who became one of my best friends this whole last year, has randomly decided (not a week after promising to be my "friend forever") to "cut ties" with me. Needless to say, I am devastated, and unable to understand why anyone would turn on me like that. Well, I do get it. Basically, he's started dated an old mutual friend and she somehow now totally wants him as far away from me as possible, since I'm such a "negative force" and all. And apparently "God" does not want people who were once in a relationship to communicate with each other once it's over. Funny, "God" wasn't to upset about it before he starting dating my old "friend". Do I sound OK with this? No, I'm not. But, alas, time heals all wounds. In the meantime, I would like to commemorate this time in my life with a reminder of the good times Paul and I shared, and that I will treasure forever. And remind you all, that love covers a multitude of sins, and sticks closer than a brother, and that's why it's so rare. But that makes it precious, and important enough to remember.

Oh, and just to bring a smile back to your face and mine, I have included an image of TRUE love. What?! It could happen!!!!
