I'M ALMOST EXAM FREE
ALTHOUGH I PROBABLY SHOULDNT CELEBRATE TIL TUESDAY (after music exam is done) BUT I DONT CARE
I've had a couple of great days, including a teacher saying something filthy, conversations with a pretty person, multiple hours of Sex and The City, chocolate, hair cutting, live gypsy/folk music and a zorba dance circle.
I love life!
But yes. I wish there was an embarassing-free way of getting with my white knight, but there isn't. So I'll just be pathetic and sit around waiting and swooning 'privately' (when i say privately, it just means i haven't told him to his face... yet) like any good 1900's woman would do, bar cooking and quilting because we 21st century women aren't wired that way. That was a long sentence.
Myself and 3 other girly friendies were discussing next year; our year as 'adults'. I realised, yet again, that I have a really good, easy (possibly
too good and easy) way of life. I feel like such a spolit, bragging little brat. DISCLAIMER: I DON'T MEAN TO BE
But regardless, my want to just LEAVE and never look back is vanishing. My want to stay and still be a child, with no responsibilities, or things to worry about, is growing. I work in reverse, it seems. In past years, I had so many more ideas of what I wanted to be; a lot more structured and detailed than my plans are now. As time goes on, the less I know what to do with myself. It's annoyingly contrary.
One thing really struck me though. Everyone we're leaving behind (or growing up from) are still going to be here, growing, evolving, changing, and we won't be a part of that anymore. All our little friends in year 11, year 10, year 9 (no year 8 friends, of course) will grow up, without us anymore. They'll bond, and we won't be there to bond with them. I feel like I'm gonna miss out on so much, yet, in 9 months, the world will 'be my oyster'. I never really thought about what that meant though, until this year.
In year 8, there was no one younger than us, and there seemed to be no one older than a year 12-er. But now I'm here, I still feel like the baby; just a little less scrawny, a lot more unhealthy, and hopefully, better taste and judgement. The year 8-ers next year, after we've all gone, will never know I existed. While that doesn't really sound like much to fret over (being unknown to spotty little faceless children), it just really hits me that we've literally grown away from a whole new batch of people; people who will never look up to us, people we will never influence or meet.
I can feel the emptiness of saying goodbye right now. Because, when I'm gone, all my friends are going to change and forget about me, which, I realised very recently, really hurts. While I'm not usually known to want to be involved in everyones lives and be constantly assured I'm their friend, I don't want to be replaced, forgotten or dismissed as a vague, detached memory. I want people to think "Ah Georgia. I miss her. No one will ever make me forget about her." It just makes me sad. It's so very easy to drift, and all the people I care about will find someone new, someone more amazing, and I'll just be that highschool friend, the one you used to have 'silly little D&M's with'.
Now I'm savouring all the people
I never want to forget. God. I'm so SELFISH. For the past year, just because I've wanted to leave, I've forgotten about
my friends, who probably don't want me to forget them. Up until like RIGHT NOW (possibly because of my growing need to stay), I realise maybe they've been thinking this, too, for a year. But like I said. I work in reverse. *sigh* I hope this reverse shit isn't forever.
I hope I don't suffer the break-ups before the love
or the hangovers before the binge

EDIT: CAN YOU SEE MY TITLE?! MERE MINUTES AGO I WAS FEELING FUCKING AMAZING AND NOW DISTURBING TRUTHS ARE POPPING INTO MY HEAD. Damn this blog and its power to stop people avoiding themselves
