Seriously, this infrequent updating has to stop! I've either got to start updating frequently, or take down this blog that no one pays attention to. And do you know why no one pays attention to you? Of course you do, but do I? That's the question. One I know the answer to, by the way. The answer, boys and girls, is: Because I blither on about nonsense and update painfully infrequently. Well, I'm attempting to change that, but likely that just means I'm gonna post maybe one more entry before we hit December of 2013. Anyway, let's move on to blithering!
So, I have not mentioned it here (though anybody who's seen one of the few infrequent posts on Tumblr are well aware) but I am starting college in January. This is a fairly big deal for me, because I am slightly older than the ideal college-attending age (About two. Which makes me twenty, in case you were wondering) and also because new schools always make me nervous. Well, back in elementary school it was every new grade, but throughout high school, the only really scary new thing was moving from elementary school to high school. I have a feeling that once I get there, it won't be scary after a while, cause it won't, but, I digress.
Sims 3 Seasons was released not too long ago, and I'm fully enjoying it. Seasons was always one of my favourite Sims 2 expansions, and so I got quite excited when I heard they were releasing a Sims 3 version. I was doing NaNoWriMo (which I also talked about on Tumblr) this month, and my computer is crappy and old, so I wasn't going to get it until later, but then I caved and got it anyway. It's quite wonderful. It's going to be Spooky Day soon, and they've already carved their pumpkins and the mother has been invited to a costume party, and now I'm just waiting for it to get a little darker so that the little girl can go parade around in her alien costume and get free candy.
Nothing else of importance is really happening to me lately, so what about you guys? Any of you do NaNoWriMo? If so, how was it? Do you play The Sims? If so, do you have Seasons and what do you think of it? Any college tips for me? How's the weather down there? Anything about you I want to know, cause I have no social life, and I feel cruddy blithering on about just myself.

Those carefree days I used to know, where have they gone where did they go?
Growing up sucks. I look back at all the things I used to love, and all the things that made life worth living, and now, I'm apparently too old to do any of them. I'm not supposed to watch kids TV, I can't dress up anymore, and the only dollhouse that it's socially acceptable to play with is the one in The Sims. I'm not saying life sucks now that I can't do any of that little kid stuff, I'm just saying it would be nice to be six again.
I cleaned out my closet with my mom the other day. We uncovered tons of stuff I used to play with, clothes I used to wear, diaries I wrote in when I was 13. It made me nostalgic. But not in the good way. Often when I think of my childhood, I get sad that it couldn't stay that way. That I couldn't hit a button and everything stayed like it was when I was small. My mom is slowly finding things we've had forever and changing or disposing of them. People are always asking me what I'm doing now I'm out of high school. My mom is also charging me rent and suggesting I get another job so I can move out. Sometimes I just want to tell it all to stop. Go back a decade and a half. I was happier then. Life was easier then. Familiar then.
In on of these sad nostalgic moods, I looked up a bunch of friends from elementary school (on Facebook.) They're all so different from what they used to be like. But I guess I am too. They're all moved away, going to school, getting jobs. Growing up. I was nearly about cry out in frustration when I noticed something comforting. Each person I looked up had a close group of friends back in elementary school. It was comforting to know that the circle had been enlarged, but still contained those same people. I suppose some things stay the same, they have too. And I guess change is good. Sometimes I just wish it would stop for a minute to let me get used to it. Maybe then I wouldn't hate it so much.
