Introspectivness and ego ahead

I have to admit, I'm a bit proud of myself.
This time last year, I had no idea if I was going to actually graduate college, watched cartoons until one in the morning, was a DDR master and had no idea what a 401K was.

Now I know what a 401K is.

I'm still shocked and proud that I went from lazy college student to bonafide adult in one year. As I predicted, 2008 was the "Year of Amber."

I almost feel a bit confused right now though. On one hand, I go to work, have a real job, with real responsibilities, take care of my own car, my own cat, my own plants, wear professional-type clothing. Mentally, however, I still feel like a 17 year old with ratty jeans who listens to Fall Out Boy and I think part of me will always feel like that. At least, I hope so. There's something so droll sounding about being an adult and growing up. There's the belief that means you've become boring.

I don't ever ever ever want to be boring.

Here's to 2009 being The "Year of Amber, Part Deuce."
