Registration Day

"Think about it. If you are single, after graduation there isn't one occasion where people celebrate you ... Hallmark doesn't make a "congratulations, you didn't marry the wrong guy" card. And where's the flatware for going on vacation alone? " - Carrie Bradshaw

So my birthday is coming up... I will once again be turning 25. And I've decided. I want nice dishes. There's no reason that I should hang around with the things I have and pine for the day that I can walk down that aisle, the Target aisle that is, and register. So I've decided to pick dishes out and let everyone that buys me presents (all two of them) know what I want. I've already gotten comments about "is it your wedding", "are you going to register" and you know what I think.. I think single people should register. Like I said why should I continue to scramble my eggs in a skillet that is as old as I am just because I've decided to wait for the right guy? If anyone deserves to eat on special dishes it should be those that dine alone...

So let me hear it, what are things that society makes you wait until your married to own or do (aside from the obvious one.. let's refrain ourselves please) that you think you should be able to have or do now and do so proudly...

For you guys

But most of all I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend

I miss the colors that you brought into my life
Your golden smile, those blue-green eyes
I miss your gentle voice in lonely times like now
Saying it'll be alright

I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend

I miss those times
I miss those nights
I even miss the silly fights
The making up
The morning talks
And those late afternoon walks

I miss my friend
The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with

Ok so I know this song is about the woman that the guy loves, but take out all the love stuff and it really applies to my friends. And it hit me last night... I try to push the feelings back and try to be a big grown up, but when it comes down to it. I miss my friends. I miss the people that know me inside out. The ones that know the answers to the generic questions of what do I do, where am I from, what do I want to do with my life. I miss the people that get my jokes and get me. I miss the ones that know that I'm quiet in the morning, not because I'm mad just because I don't have the energy. I miss the people, that will call me out when I'm being weird and have the right to do so because they KNOW me. I miss being able to cry without something being wrong and laughing for no reason, and being silly with people that really truly care about me. I miss the people that know me inside and out and love me just the same. The ones that I can be honest with and they won't ever hold it against me or bring it up again. Who take me for what I am and appreciate every part of me. You guys do that and I love you for it and I miss you so deeply that it hurts.

I know we have to be adults and move on and do our lives differently because we're each so different. But I can't express how much I appreciate those differences in you and how much I love that you appreciate the differences in me. I love you guys... have a great weekend!!
