Spring Break

Something I've come to realize... spring break is not nearly as fun when the rest of your friends either work or have spring break the previous week. I have to say that I have spent more time with TurboTax (I owe the state of California $1! That's the first time I have had to pay up on a tax return, and it's a freakin' dollar!) and my dead ancestors than I have with living, breathing people. I remember this time back in San Diego when this guy, unemployed and living two blocks from the temple said, "Well, the dead people are happy I'm unemployed..." I kind of feel like that quote can be adapted to suit me: "Well, the dead people are happy I'm a loser..." Hahaha.

I've noticed something about myself though. I'm a fairly solitary person a lot of the time... but I find it hard to go do anything on my own. When it comes to actually going out and doing something, it's hard for me to seize the day and create fun. I lack the motivation I guess. I kind of don't like how I'm dependent on other people to have fun "doing things" besides sitting on my toosh, but it doesn't sound as fun to go to the beach by myself, or go to a museum, etc. by myself. I'm going home this weekend for my grandma's 80th birthday. It should be exciting and I'm looking forward to seeing the family. Is it sad that I'm trying to think of smooth ways of getting old family photographs from my grandmother without explaining the whole family history thing?
