I'm Finally Growing Up!

I always wondered when this would happen and all of a sudden i think it may be here. Here are some clues that tipped me off that the process
had begun:
1. i work from 8:30AIM contactam-5pm tuesday-friday
2. i would love to be in bed by ten thirty every night
3. i have to make more frequent trips to the bathroom (my bladder is shrinking as i age)
4. i enjoy listening to npr news on my commute to work (bet you didn't know that today was afghanistan's presidential election or the history of al qaeda from 1979)
5. i cut my hair like a mom because it's "easy"
6. i am starting to be convinced that there is such a thing as reading for the enjoyment of it (this does not include harry potter, david)
7. i caught myself wanting a baby yesterday! (this one scared me more than anything)
8. i like to do sudoku with my mom
9. i say i know longer have time or energy to workout-the ultimate old person excuse

10. i actually care about getting good grades

If you have experienced any of these things then watch out because you might be growing up too...
ps. i'll try to go for a run tonight...well...if i'm not too tired

we're asking, "why, Taylor?"

okay first and foremost i realized that i forgot a very important "things i've learned this year" addition to the list..."Russia is considered an Asian country." shocking, i know.
Next up on the docket: Taylor Swift Music Videos are Painful!

They honestly just go from bad to worse. I mean the Tim McGraw song was a typical sort of teenage girl music video...her and a boy in some field, her singing longingly looking at the camera...nothing too terrible there, just a little predictable. But oh my, have you seen Teardrops on My Guitar, You Belong With Me, or Love Story?! I only know this because james convy posted this
http://www.cmt.com/videos/shows/cmt-music-awards-2009/401599/thug-story.jhtml on facebook and that started my journey. This one actually doesn't bother me it's pretty funny.

I encourage you to watch these T-swift vids at your own risk...embarrassment and slight agony may accompany you.
OK now i have to talk about something personal that happened to me today. Some sort of strange wave passed through my body today. No signs yet of what it might have done to me but it felt wierd at least.
I was using my laptop next to my desktop which crashed a few weeks ago (crashed as in: black screen, flashing red lights, loud beeping noise until it was rendered useless) Anyways, my laptop always makes this kind of humming noise like the fan or whatever is louder than it should be when it's trying to work really hard (cuz i work really hard).
All of a sudden the noise stops and i hear one of those high pitched noises like the noise your TV in the basement makes so nobody likes to use it because it'll give you a headache after a while. Well, usually I can't hear those noises but i heard and felt this one. It hit me like a wall and was ringing in my ears. I thought I was gonna start bleeding out my ears. Then it passed from my laptop to the dead desktop which received the wave and made a static noise. I opened my cell phone and right then it was in the middle of making the swishing pictures, turning off on its own...so i closed it and waited a minute...opened it and ohh it's back on...ALL by itself!
It's obvious what happened here. MY laptop was trying to give life to the desktop...CLEAR!

One last thing. My new feather headband i think is too tight and cutting off bloodflow from a vein behind my ear which is probably going somewhere important.
