You dance
inside my chest
where no one sees you,
but sometimes, I see you.

rainy days.

 It's been a bit since I posted.
I'll be honest, the lack of peeps still using xanga makes me feel like that awkward moment at a party when you realize everyone else suddenly stopped talking but your still talking really loud as if to talk over them.

I have decided that a second stage should be added to developmental psychology that should be called second adolescence. It would cover that awkward time post-college post-marriage and post-first-career where you are depressed about the prospect of growing up on someone else's terms. It would explain the quarter-life-crisis that keeps coming up in friends lives. And it would explain the difficulty so many have transitioning from college to real actual life. I have a bunch of friends who decided to all move to the same city and avoid this process entirely by making sure all their needs are met by each other exclusively and by staying only in temp jobs.
They are all marrying each other now and considering moving away.  I don't think most will. 

Does anyone else feel like that is a big friggen cop-out?

This is not a great time in history to be graduating from college. I know so many people who have graduated with their B.A. or even Master's, and are working at Starbucks.

@SirNickDon - 


I know dude, I worked at a laundramat and a bagel store for months and months.
But I don't think that's the whole of it...I think the conventional "college->marriage->career->home ownership-> happiness model may be a little narrow and at best limiting.

you know, if you really wanted xanga to be xanga you'd have to comment on other peoples instead of just complaining how no one is around. I haven't seen any comments on mine for a while!!!!

i like your theory about second adolescence. maybe instead of working, your should consider writing a psychology book. i'm sure it pays well
