pretty soon everyone will start getting married and doing all that crap. this will be the last time in our lives that the vast majority of our peers wont be hitched. this freedom wont last. they move straight from dealing with their mothers to dealing with their spouses. i can go out and pretty much assume that anyone i meet will not have their better half in their shadow. i guess not much longer. i want to stay here forever. not here, here. as in mankato, as in the limbo between homes. but the age where our old strings have been cut and the new ones havent been fastened on yet. where we dont know where we are going but dont preoccupy ourselves with it. when you know nobody has any money but that wont stop you from going to perkins whenever possible. our old lives are behind us and our new lives arent here yet. i love this moment.
