Stories To Tell.

It's been nine months since I attended lectures in college, six years since I left school and eight years since I stopped doing homework. It's been 3 weeks since I last came on facebook properly, two months since I've written a blog post and two minutes since I've checked my BB, wondering if anyone has pinged me. My wardrobe and shopping list has changed from casuals to formals, there's no wallet anymore but a card, there's a boss instead of a teacher who's better at demanding and harder to please and I have parents complaining that the house has become a hostel. My tracks are replaced with heels, my slouch has straightened, my nails are always pristine and colorless and not chipped with nailpolish, home food is only one meal a day, school and college friends have become a weekend ritual and books that I have bought are still waiting for my attention. There's no worry about losing weight, no worrying about time to kill, no unecessary small talk, sleep comes easily enough, no time to slack nor any time to argue and simple explanations on why you dont remember someone's birthday. ("I forgot").
When we were in college, my friends used to talk about having stories to tell their kids. Espescially on how their guy would propose to them. I think I'll have a story to tell too. But who knows? It might just not be the classy proposal that you hoped or dreamed about. It might just be going down on one knee in a cab, or you getting frustrated enough waiting that you ask him yourself...but then, that's a story too, isnt it?
Today's my college friend's 21st birthday and thankfully, she reminded me that it was as well as being gracious enough to call me for it. We wont be doing anything new.The usual, really. Five of us sitting round our usual table at our usual restaurant talking about usual things...anybody else would have thought it to be boring to do that on such a big day for her. But when you think about how things have drastically changed for all of us, I'd like to keep these things the same usual boring way. Like F.R.I.E.N.D.S. have Central Perk and Archie's has Pop Tates, I have 5 Spice. My life has been blessed and good, for now. I have good demanding friends, a good demanding job and loving and demanding parents..I shouldnt crib nor should I stop wanting more and making it happen...
Quite simply, I love my life, with all its quirks and 'usualness' ...
