If all goes well, its my 18th birthday when this posts. I'm hoping that I forget all about this. If no one else has commented on this, please do so I see it and remember it!
Dear Mer,
Happy Birthday! Its weird to wish you that because I'm not sure I ever have! I hope you still go by Mer. It would be sad if you didn't. First, for my sake, your sake, and our thousands of blog readers' sakes, I'm gonna make some predictions. Its the end of your Senior Year, so you're probably still living at home. Hopefully, you are presently at Lake Ellen, working as a Wrangler. I don't have my liscense yet, but I'm sure you do. You probably have a car by now too. I'm gonna guess you've still been going to CGs, even if the Elmhorsts have moved to their other house in Rhinelander. You're probably still single and probably haven't ever not been yet. Not that I don't have hope of ever haveing a boyfriend, but honestly, I don't know very many guys deserving of that title. If you don't work at camp, that means you have another job, so I know for sure you are employed somewhere. You aren't planning on going to college any time soon, and still don't know what to do with your life. Emily and James have their own apartment, besides the Garage, and certainly shouldn't be in TJ's room yet. Also, TJ has been a marine for a year now, and sometimes you miss him because you are still homeschooled and bored a lot. WHOAH wait, no! You're GRADUATED!!!! hah! Can't wait for that!!!
Friends. Hmmm. I bet you're still friends with Megan. You're still friends with Billie and Phillip, and they are probably still a couple. Maybe Megan and Boomer are married or something by now. Maybe Emily and James have a kid. Doubt that though. Tami is still your friend too. And of course, the Elmhorsts. I'm actually 'chatting' with Becca as I write this. She'll probably be like a millionaire. I know, its only a little over a year, but still. Oh, and YEAH! is still fun, and you're still on leadership team. I bet Cana has a boyfriend by now. Haley is fifteen and will definately NOT have her temps yet haha.
You're life is more exciting by now, I'm sure. You don't spend as much time at home, because you can drive and have a car by now. You have your own bowling shoes too. And a cartilage piercing. Remember when TJ said you should get that tattoo of a heart that says "Love Hungry" in it? On your wrist? Only it wouldn't say that, it would say something cooler? You should think about that, now that you're eighteen and all.
or as Becca just said:
"you never know...you might decide to go to college for advenced math and become a whiz and marry a science nerd and have 10 smart babies running around"
now THAT I seriously doubt!
It is possible all my predictions are wrong. You could have an apartment. You could have a boyfriend (if you do, I hope he's quite good-looking). For all I know, you're married! (again, I doubt it). You could not have a car. You could not have a job. You could have failed everything. You could be in college. Who knows.
There are a few things I'm sure are still true. Batman is your favorite, still. I JUST REALIZED DOCTOR WHO SEASON SIX WILL BE ON DVD BY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So yeah, you'll still like Doctor Who. You'll still be nerdy and like all the superhero stuff. You'll still be blonde. You'll still be super weird. You'll still be a Christian. Jack will still be your favorite cat ever. You'll still have your crayons.
Okay, this is getting long. I have to wrap this up. Some words of wisdom: Stay strong. Never give up. Always persevere. Don't spit into the wind.
Love,
~Murrbeth~
Dear Readers,
I hope I have kept up this blog til now. I kind of hope its grown better over the last year, but if not, oh well I guess. I hope I've kept you entertained, made you think, made you laugh.
