Hows my little came to grip?

I am still a growing boy.
Don't you forget that.
About a year and a half ago I wrote This Post.

You'll have to read that for most of this to make complete sense, just so you know. Because this is my testament to how I feel like I am growing (a little more) mature, in relation to that older post.

I am no longer scared of life happening, in fact life has been happening all of my life thus far and I am turning into a big fan of it. I kind of like the older slightly wiser 2007 me vs the young nervous 2005 me. I actually do work ahead of time now, and require sleep to function properly, I am thinking into the future with my career as well as my relationships with the people around me that I love.
I've been growing up.
About damn time.

I can not wait for graduation, this is a very old topic for everyone so I'll leave it at that. The idea of beginning a career that I am going to hopefully enjoy is thrilling! College was great, but now its more serious, I need to do things, I need to develop a portfolio, I need to get a job. I have a year left to come up with something that will get me a job. Thank God the end is in sight. What exactly I want to do with my life is still mainly unclear, I just want to get paid for it.
When I grow up I want to do something in Graphic Design or the marketing business both sound super interesting to me. Although a sex slave still doesn't sound too bad.

As for how I dress myself now, I've been shopping for clothes maybe a grand total of 4ish times since the referenced entry, one or two of those times were to get me some clothes I could wear while I worked at the Edgewater, at my new job I have to dress business casual and I have absolutely nothing, well, two polos, lame. I could use a pair of board shorts still.

Music. This is still a hard subject for me, I definitely have fallen out of love for punk, I have no desire to go out of my way to find more but if some happens to fall into my lap then hurray for it. I am in a music loving limbo right now and am still stuck to Stadium Arcadium. I did get a whole bunch of new stuff on my computer but it broke literally the same day, which is/was stupid.

The 21 thing is not a big deal, I really enjoy meeting up with friends and a drink at a drinking establishment. moot point.

Now:

What inspired this post, life has definitely taken me on a little loop that I for sure was not foreseeing in my 2005 self. [warning: very mushy] My love life. I have found a person who I honestly find to be a perfect match for me. Things between Laura and I have grown so quickly when I go back and look at it, as many of you probably know, but I don't feel like we have rushed our lives together in any way. We started things off in January and since then I have gotten to know Laura, her life, as well as her family quite a bit. And it has been really really great. She has really helped me feel like a happier person as a whole and I am looking forward to the future with her. She has helped me find some direction after college, I am starting to think of things like where we are going to live, what kind of dwelling we will reside in. And a couple of other grown-up things too. She is even moving in with me for a couple of months this summer, and I don't even have the slightest reservation about it because of how many things I look forward to with her and how well we get along with each other now. Basically I have never felt this way about someone. Ever.

It hasn't been until this past month that I have really realized I am growing more mature, but the people around me and my thoughts have all shaped what I do and I am trying my best to do it well.

I would like to call myself a mature adult now who can make some decisions, but don't worry mom and dad you're still going to be getting the advice phone calls for quite awhile.
Oh, I no longer have my scooby-doo boxers.
