Life trudges on

I really try not to be annoyed by my family, but sometimes, damn it, I just want to hole myself up in my room and have them leave me alone for a few hours. I suppose work qualifies as getting away from the family for a while... but it's not the kind of "getting away" I had in mind.

I love my relatives to death, honestly, but seriously. For as long as I've been around, every time we go to Dallas, we end up sitting there at the store, bored out of our minds, while the adults talk and catch up. And I have come to the conclusion that this is all that adults do. And this conclusion makes me wish time would stop so that I would not be turning 20 this Thursday. I don't want to be an adult. I don't want to be a total bore. Dear God, when I see people I haven't seen in a while, I like to go places with them. When I go to cities that I do not live in, I like to go shopping to see what's different. Or at least to walk/drive around, sight-see, just... just move, damn it.

Not to mention there are MOSQUITOES GALORE at the store for some reason.

I don't know. I think I'm more upset with myself. If I had my own car, I could have gone out on my own, maybe taken the girls with me or something. Then again, if I had my own car I probably would not have gone to Dallas at all. I would have stayed home to get some rest and some artwork done. Of course I didn't sleep alot over there and I didn't sketch anything because I hate when people are watching me sketch over my shoulder. It seriously bugs me, which is why I always take my sketchbook on vacation but rarely come home with anything new in it. I try. I really do. But I draw best when I'm at home or by myself.

I did get a few ideas for some gag comics, though. Might post those later, if not here, then to DA.

I'm headed to bed. Gotta wake up early for work tomorrow...
