Hello! (pick a song, they are all good, although they are both from the dreaded Skyward Sword)
SO. I've been watching and listening people's opinions of the new Zelda: Wii U. I can still BARELY contain my excitement. I'm such an idiot for that, but, it's me :)
I have, however, realized how behind my 'age' I really am in one respect, but not in others. No, I still don't want kids. No, I will don't want a husband. No, I still don't want a boyfriend. Yes, the only 'almost 30' thing I want is my own home with a dog and a cat. That's it!
Everything else? I want to veg out with a new Zelda game, and waiting for it is going to allllmost kill me. Probably since I have less amount of life than ever and sleep all day and feel dead when I am awake, video games are all I have. :) BUT! I am still happy in my own weird way. Yes, I realize how much life has changed in two years in how I feel on a daily basis and I feel like I'm in a nightmare and wish I could wake up and have energy and actually LIVE. But hey. I have my life, and I have my family :) I'll still not complain.
What was my point?
Yes. That how much change occurs in five-year increments. The difference from age 15 to 20. Amazing. Your world is so limiting and you can't see the forest through the trees. Then at 20, you can see past the freaking forest and into that little shack on the other side of the river, with the dog inside. Then 20 to 25? 25 you think you've found yourself finally and think "I can't believe I acted that way when I was 20! What an idiot I was". Brace yourself, there's still room for non-improvement, trust me.
Then 25-30. Holy can of worms everywhere. I've been quite nostalgic lately, realizing I will be 30. Thirty!!! Ten years I'll be 40... boy is that an eye opener. I'm looking back at my life and thoughts and views the past five years. Boy oh boy is it strange. I do feel as though my thirties will be surprisingly greater than any point in my twenties. I feel as though I've grown a lot and even other people notice this. Even strangers seem to appreciate the things I've noticed in the past five years about me. :)
Case in point. I was at the endodontic associate people. I checked in, all nicey nice, they asked if I had dental insurance and I gave a hesitation with a cute sad face and slowly said "nooooo..." They laughed and I sat down. Then I was called in to discuss my Tooth of Despair situation. He first walks in and said "ok, I have to tell you something first.." ?!? Scared me quite a bit, as nobody wants to hear that as they sit in a chair surrounded by sharp pointy tools. Then he said "I was listening to you as you were checking in, and YOU ARE SO SWEET! I was so taken with how polite you were, and the fact that you're in severe pain and at the DENTIST no less!"
Yup, it made my day. I suggested more people take a course on how to treat others, and he said "THAT'S WHAT I WAS JUST SAYING!!!"
So. I am a nice person. um. What was my point?
Hold on.
So! The past five years, wowza! Even though I can't believe five years has gone by... what did I do in those five years? Let's see.... it would be 2009? Wow. That was after Dan, so I think that might have been the age of Mike. When I think back on it, it seems so ancient to me now! Freaky! I think I forgot (or have finally let go) almost everything about that point. Almost like I have forgiven?
Jaime? Forgive? WOW, almost seems impossible. But hey, I said five year increments are amazing, huh? Yup. I would have to agree with my own assessment, I'm completely different now than I was in 2009.
Come on, thirty, I'm waiting! Oh, and Link is a boy. Can't fool me, all these people saying it could be a girl. THAT is not a girl. That is Link. My Link. Forever more.
My life :)
Love always,
Jaime Lee
