Another Taylor Swift Song...

Its been another summer day and I feel like I have something to say but I can't quite place what it is so here I sit in my reading corner, drumming my fingers on my laptop.

I've been told by someone that my life reads like a Taylor Swift song and I have to admit I do have a tendency to switch gears into the teenage mind set but if you think about it...I'm still a teenager. I have almost exactly one month of teenage years left. So this brings me to ask....where has the time gone? Where did my days of coloring books and Where's Waldo go? Well I have to admit...I still enjoy a good Where's Waldo book and we all know I still have several coloring books I still color when I get the time but honestly where did the time go? I recently hung out with my honey bunny and instead of talking about the newest gossip around school or what we were going to wear to the next big party, we talked about careers...marriage...and the future. Can I just say OH MY CRAP. I feel so...old. Ridiculous right? I'm not even 20 years old yet and I'm classifying myself as old. Time just moves too quickly for me I suppose. I have friends that are getting married...friends that have already gotten married...and friends that are planning their engagments. It's insanity is what it is. It'd be nice to freeze time for a bit.

On another note...I'm a reader. Not sure when the whole "I love to read" thing started because if you ask any of my elementary teachers they would tell you how much I hated it. I would refuse to read....reading was stupid or atleast thats how I saw it. I think the whole reading kick came when the school started the lovely AR program. Oh Accelerated Reader...how you drove me crazy when I was in school. It turned out though that all those points I earned developed a love for reading in me. I guess I owe Mrs. Christiaanse and Mrs. Covrett for that. I've recently started combining my love for history with my love for reading. I'm in the process of reading two biographies. They're both a little random I'm aware but one is on Walt Disney and the other is Kirk Cameron. Yes...that's right. I'm reading Mike Seaver's biography. While reading through these, it makes me wonder...if I was interesting enough to right about what would my biography say? When I think back to my past years I can't really think of anything worth while. I mean sure...I have enough cute antedotes from my years as the pesky little asian girl that ran around being rambunctous and devious, but when it really comes down to it what worth while things have I done? Now I'm not expecting to create a cure for cancer because those that know me will tell you how horrible I am at science. I don't expect to save the world one hybrid car at a time. I don't really expect much I suppose. I just wonder what would be said. Would it be something along the lines of "oh Chelsea...that was the cute little asian girl" or "oh Chelsea...loud, obnoxious, and spoiled rotten but for some reason we still loved her" or would it be "Chelsea...while she had a lot of screw ups and made a lot of mistakes...she still tried to live each day being the best person she could be and used her gifts and talents all for the glory of God."

I'm not sure what my point was of this...maybe its just another day of rambling. Maybe I am turning into Taylor Swift...looks like only time will tell.
