Jake must have had an extra dose of romantic yesterday because he called me and said, "Don't go anywhere tonight, or eat anything!" Geez, are you calling me fat? Haha just joking. So around 6 he came to my apartment with a lovely arrangement of lilies and then gave me the choice of eating at Red Lobster or Texas Roadhouse. It took me like half an hour to decide because I love those both soooooo much (two of my top 5 favorite restaurants!) and both sounded equally scrumptious. I finally picked Red Lobster and had their famous cheddar biscuits, fried catfish and way too many crab legs dunked in melted butter. Oh and a Mango Mai Tai, my first alcoholic drink that I've bought (well Jake bought it) since I turned 21 (which isn't really an accomplishment, just thought I'd share), which was actually pretty tasty. And she didn't even card me! I thought she would. My dad swears I'm going to be carded until I'm 35.
Today it was rather gloomy outside, sprinkling rain here and there, but I always appreciate that.
Now this roommate situation... I think I'd prefer to live alone than with any of my friends at this point, for various reasons. My mom told me recently that she thinks people should live on their own for a while. The past year or so I thought I wouldn't be able to live alone because I get lonely easily, and that leads to short bouts of depression. However, my roommates are gone a lot, one is rarely ever here, so it feels like I'm living alone anyway. And I'm surviving it, aren't I? But still, I get lonely. Anyway living alone for my last year might be good for me.
Either that, or...there's the slightest chance that my brother will come live with me for a year. He's having a hard time deciding what to do after high school, and I told him he could come here for a year, take some classes, get a job, and maybe figure out what he wants to do... he is thinking about it but I don't know if it'll actually happen. Plus I'm not sure how it will work out. At home we get along pretty dandy, but if it's just us I can kinda see myself taking over the mom role...I might become bossy toward him to clean up, expect phone calls to know where he is/what he's doing...who knows maybe it would work out just fine.
