You know, you go away for a bit and your friends seem to take that as permission to carry on with their lives......
I met up with a couple of friends (the third one was semi-unreachable and doing somesort of agency thing having gotten in trouble with the old one for giving away too much money..... several times....the fourth (who I met in Aldershot last week) is only contactable through the thrid.....) this afternoon. One brought along her husband and two year four month old daughter and the other her fiancee.....
What....!?!?!
Husband, fiancee, daughter......???? Oh, and Lumpy the pink elephant.
Only a couple of months ago I was telling some friends at Uni that in my group of friends from school that only one had seeminly become settled in anyway (with a daughter and marriage plans). It seems that I was wrong. I just hadn't known about everyone else.
In other words, it isn't just something bout us from home, it is infact just me. I am the only person who hasn't grown up. I mean..... why haven't I???? What is it about me that means I hang on to the young child in me and refuse to let go.
They say that you know that you know when you're getting old because policemen look younger than you. Or Blue Peter presenters....... in my case, it's friends who are younger than me settling down and getting married off and all that malarky. I almost feel that there's something that I'm missing out on, but I'm not sure if I really want to see.....
Have you noticed how when people settle down, marry, have kids, those sort of things, they change..... they might not notice it, but I do. They're not the people they used to be.......sometimes it's a good thing, but they always seem to have less time......or they can't come out cause they're doing something else.....
Like I said, they change.......
Also, as I'm travelling tomorrow I won't be able to get to get online (and as I doubt the library will be open till tuesday (evil buggers)) I shall have to wish you all a happy New Year's. May you all have a very merry time (in either sense) while I try very hard not to bash my brains out.......
Happy New Year!!!!!!!
