  for the first time in a long time, louie and i are each sleeping at our own houses.  weird to be saying that, but this winter break, we've been taking turns sleeping over at each other's places.  makes me feel almost all grown up to wake up and see him sleeping on the other couch. 

  
  

  i still remember when i wasn't allowed to talk to boys on the phone.  i remember when my mom would always make sure at least one of my siblings was downstairs, if she wasn't sitting there herself.  i remember when i wasn't allowed to go over to louie's house because "it's not proper" and how my mom said not to bring him to family parties because it would be rude unless they said he was invited (even though at the parties, they would ask me where he was). 

  
  

  i guess my parents have come a long way... or maybe i've just grown up; maybe both.  of course, my mom still tells me "come home early" every now and then. and i still ask if i can go over to louie's. more and more, though, i've been stating and my mom has been the one to ask, "when will you be home?"  it's kinda cool to be treated more like an adult. 

  
  

  then again, it seems that the more into winter or summer break i get, the more everything starts reverts back to when i first started going to college and even high school (such as my mom telling me when to be back; she's even told me to be back by 10pm, which befuddled and even miffed me a bit--not that i complained, of course).  it's all good, though.  three step forward and a step and a half back.
