Catie loves New Jersey
Jul. 6th, 2005 07:49 pmAfter many days of nothing but boredom, I'm finally doing something worthwhile. I'm watching a movie marathon at Maureen's and there are a bunch of other cool people here. We already watched Office Space, which I'd never seen before. The Breakfast Club is on now but I don't really like that movie so I'm on Maureen computer doing this. Movie marathons are fun.
I was pondering destiny the other day and how all the choices we make affect everthing. Have you ever thought about the people you've never met but you were supposed to meet? If I hadn't moved in 8th grade i would have gone to Upper Darby and not O'Hara. Some people asked me whether I would have prefered to go to UD instead of O'Hara and it got me thinking. Right now, I would say I would rather have gone to O'hara but that's because of the friends I met there. But then I thought that if I had to gone to UD I would have met another group of friends and I would have loved them as much as I love my O'Hara friends. Who would I have been friends with at another school? Would I be a different person with the different influences? What did I miss out on? I thought about this last year because at the bus stop in Lansdowne I saw a person from the Friends School in Philly waiting for a bus. That school was another of my high school options and I realized that if I had chosen to go to that school I would be standing with that kid looking at the O'Hara kids instead of the other way around. That one choice of a high school could have changed a lot. Well anyway, I was just thinking of all the people and friends I could have met but didn't because of a choice I made.
I saw more fire works on Monday. My family and I went to Clifton but it was so crowded we ended up standing in front of a house near Baltimore Pike. The fireworks started late but we could see the city and saw fireworks from the Phillies game and some from the the city and some from New Jersey. The Clifton fireworks sucked.
