The best of both worlds

As my faithful reader, you know that I have done a great deal of growing up lately. I have to like pay all these bills by myself and I have a real 40 hour a week job and I go to bed somewhat early and stuff. Responsibility is crazy. But this weekend I was home in Gaffney and I saw two very fantastic movies. I saw Monsters vs. Aliens with Erin and we were the only people in the theater laughing really loudly. I mean I think the kids thought some stuff was funny, but us 22 year olds just cracked up the whole time. Then on sunday night I saw the Hannah Montana movie and it changed my life for the most part. There's this really fun hoedown dance, Rascal Flatts just show up and sing on the front porch, and Miley and Tyra Banks fight over shoes. It's just fantastic! I walked right out of that theater feeling like a 9 year old girl. And not that I particularly wish to be that age ever again, I just like to be silly sometimes, and finding enjoyment out of things like the Disney Channel helps me keep my brain. But for reals, people grow up too fast sometimes I think. You need to stay up till 3am every once in a while. You need to see a crappy teen movie, and you need to learn a dance to a musical. If not, you'll just wake up one morning wondering where your life went and why it's not fun anymore. I'm not in college anymore, and I sure as heck don't pretend like I am, but I do like to have some fun along the way to growing up. And yes, graduate school is a different type of school and I am fully prepared to realize that it's hard work and I can't goof off like I did for the most part in undergrad. Some people take themselves too seriously and If you are that person, I feel sorry for you. Come over to my house and we can watch Phineas and Ferb because I do have it on dvd. I don't really know where this rant is coming from. Part of it is from the current life of my job with elementary school kids, coaching youth soccer, and teaching the youth group sunday school class. All of those things not allowing me the option of growing up too terribly fast. And the other part I'm certain is coming from the Hannah Montana movie soundtrack.
