September and October

Hmm, September and October have been crazy eh??

In September my twin sis got married (yay!), and now I have a brother-in-law! Cool! They also recently purchased a house, and they'll be painting, moving etc this weekend. So crazy! Things are changing so quickly, but it's all good stuff!

Someone asked me if I felt left behind or pressured, especially because it was my twin getting married - and my answer is no. I don't usually feel the need to do what my sis does, especially since our personalities are so different! I've grown more independent over the last year or so, and I'm enjoying the life that I have now. Rushing into marriage or into a relationship, just because someone else close to you has married, is just plain silly. That can't be good for you, or the person you're with.

In any case, I find myself too busy to be thinking seriously about settling down right now. Every weekend I have my Scout meetings and tutoring, which keep me occupied. I mean, I am currently dating someone, but I find that dating is more effort than I rememberd it to be. I don't have a lot of free time, and often I'm rather tired on the weekends. I mean, I love the companionship and the support and love of someone else, but sometimes all I want to do is sleep, or to spend an evening on my own reading a book. I've been single for most of the year, and I suppose I still, in a way, like being single. Like I said before, I've learn to become more independent over the last year. But oh well, these are only my thoughts on the surface of things - of course there are deeper more thoughtful ruminations below the surface.
