Teenage Guinea Pig
So today my friends (that I haven't seen in a long time) posted on Facebook that they were all at The Ship and Anchor Pub. How wonderful for them. Even at age 28 it never quite loses it's sting. Alas, when we graduated high school and my friends were all taking their year off, I had decided to go to college 8 hours away. I was never keen on school and I had it in my head that if I didn't go to college straight out of high school, I would probably never go. Best decision I ever made
So, I'd come home every once and a while on weekends and spend time with my family (heaven forbid!) but I didn't have a ton of time for the strange "loud, puking, drunk, make out with random people on the dance floor" phase that my friends seemed to be going through. I never had this phase (thankfully) as I'd already seen the nasty things that adults get up to when they drink to excess (unfortunately, I'd seen it in my family over many years) and even now I only have the occasional drink. When I did have the time to go out with them, I usually ended up driving everyone home, which was fine with me as I can still have a good time out without fuelling the evening with alcohol. Now, these friends live somewhat far away just like I did and now, they know how it is trying to fit time in with your family while squeezing a few hours in with your friends too. But it hurts that they didn't think to invite me, you know? Maybe they think I'm a bore or something. I literally have two friends, the rest are really just friends of my friends but I DO know them and I enjoy talking to them and everything. I'm definitely an introvert, I like my alone time, but it's not like I'm a hermit! I've accepted invitations before and I don't sit there and mope or anything! I just don't ALWAYS want to be around people. Maybe that's why I always worked at a dog kennel. I adore dogs and they adore me. They're simple, just like piggies
People... are not simple. I like to hang out in the woods with my dog because you can see that she's just caught up in the moment of running around and sniffing and just being outside. People, on the other hand are "I'm out in the woods but I wonder what's on Facebook? I wonder if there are bears out here? How long is it going to take me to get to the car from here?" ARGH!
But anyways, I stole my favourite piggy (don't tell the others!) from her wood cave and took adorable piggy pose pictures with her to stave off my pity party.... I turned it into... a PIGGY PARTY! Hahahaha! I LOOOOVES MY GIGANTICA!
