I'm a lot like you were

I can't help but feel disconnected sometimes. I mean, I've got friends, family (kind of), Erin, but I mean beyond that. I don't really feel like I'm growing up...The things I'm interested in right now are so similar to the things I was interested in during high school. For instance, throughout the latter half of high school, I spent a lot of time skating (not very well) and dreaming of being able to build an electric guitar. I also spent quite a bit of time playing video games. Right now, I AM building guitars, I would love to spend a lot more time skating (it's difficult to find a time/place...which is complicated) and I've also recently bought a PS3 and have started getting back into playing video games.

I'm just not interested in the grown up stuff. I'd love to buy a house (we are waiting until Erin graduates and we know more about our finances). We want a dog, but want to wait until we have a house. Other than that and having a nice career, I don't care for it. I don't feel any strong urge to get married, I absolutely 100% do NOT want kids.

I guess I'm just worried about being stunted or something. I'm happy with where I am, but I don't want to get a facebook or anything to keep closer tabs on people because I really don't want to realize that I'm broken. Ignorance is bliss.

My birthday is Sunday...I'll be 25...that sounds old.

Oh yeah, Erin gave me a new skateboard, I finished that guitar neck and have ordered parts for pickguard, knobs, electronics, etc., so it should be finished within a month. It plays really well. Getting the neck set up nicely made me REALLY wish I had nicer tools (a nice rasp and a set of nice nut files being at the top of the list).
