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."

I don't know how being an adult is boring. I've been looking forward to "adulthood" (sadly I didn't think of bills, etc) since I was a high schooler. Sigh. here's to the Year of Amber!
I still feel like a teenager and I'm going to turn 35 this year. You know how much of a child I acted like at work. I still listen to more current music than other people my age. I love being an adult, but I still feel like a kid. Here's to another great year.
