are you holding back like the way i do?

sometimes, i wonder how my life would be different if i were in a different grade.

the most immediate alternative i think of would be the grade above me, since i'm really old for my grade and on the borderline to a grade older.

i know every once in a while i thought about it in terms of school friends, but usually it was with my church friends, because they're the ones that have been the most consistent throughout the years since i was waaaay young.

i think about the people i would be friends with, and wonder how that would change me as a person.

would i have different hobbies?

would i be a better student?

would i be more disciplined?

would my spiritual life be better?

would i still be good friends with these people who are in my grade right now?

would i be going to the same college?

ultimately, that's not to say, though, that i don't really like where i am now with the awesome people in my grade. :]

if you have some time [which you do because i have a short entry today], think about it for yourself. it's kind of interesting!

lemme know what you think up. :]

i'm watching my sister's dog (daisy) and one of her three cats (MCA). daisy is fun. and this is my first time taking care of MCA, and man, this cat is kind of whacky in the head. it likes climbing on everything, going through every nook and cranny it can find, knocking stuff over, and randomly sprawling out on the ground. but dood, it is so cool and whacky, hahah. i'm having fun. :]

[YOUR FAVORITE RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME TIME YAY]
-when i was younger, i would always watch my parents move the gear-shifter stick thing in the middle and get really curious about it myself. so, one day, while my mom was driving, i was riding shotgun. when i noticed she wasn't looking, in one quick motion, i pressed the button on the gear-shifter and gave it a pull downwards. looking back, i think i put it directly into park. lols. my mom quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road and scolded me etc etc. yay for curiosity!
-when i was younger, my parents had this blue car. one day, we were waiting at a stoplight, maybe like 5-6 cars back from the light. my mom was driving, and i was sitting in the backseat right behind her. a truck+trailer was on our left, the one that carries like eight cars on it. it was making a left turn, and the rear right end of the trailer slowly and seemingly painstakingly scraped up the left side of our car. my mom was honking furiously but i think the truck driver was too far away to immediately hear. what an experience. heehee.
-once, i cooked ramen on the stove. i boiled clean water that i scooped up from the toilet bowl. it tasted normal. :]

that's a really interesting thought...yeah i think everything would change. i don't think i'd have the same core people as i did, i probably wouldn't be as good of a student (since I'm pretty sure most of my work ethic sprouts from fellow students in hs)...
crazyness. but i think what's meant to be is meant to be too..

that used to be my family's blue car! i think.

that last fact is disgusting. i feel like it's not from too long ago.

yes your life would be different if you were in a different grade. this feels very much like a post i would write because i've been in that situation tons of times, haha. but since i am in the older grade, whenever i think about being in the younger grade below me i just stop thinking about it because i wouldn't ever want to be with those immature kiddies. :) and now, somehow i fit with my grade and somehow i don't, because even though i'm younger, i hang out with all the kids in the grade above. maybe that's a consequence of my being moved around grades so much? or maybe just because of my maturity. :)
