Well you can't have it.

All my life was spent around the events of my sisters. Whenever one would leave for college a new phase of my life began. I haven't named each phase but I'm thinking about it. Just like the Earth has different eras, mesozoic, jurassic, cretaceous etc. I want to point out my different life changing eras.
The first change was when F left for college. I think I'll call that the wonder years. F was always the drama queen of the family and she made most of me acquainted with the local high school. I remember going and "working" in the box office before the school plays. Also I got to see the school cafeteria and all the actors after each performance. I met Mr.E the drama director, and can vaguely remember the costume making that my mom went through. My first looks at BHS were very different then what i experience of it now, and I think I liked it better when I was standing on the sideline and not actually doing the work. After that was all over, and F went to college, I began a new phase, which I like to call the NOFO years.
The NOFO years were when we had one less person in the house, and one extra bed that was put into the garage. Half my life so far has been spent on bunk beds and/or triple bunk beds. We had the "Girls Room" and them H, F2, and I in the "leftover child room". I mostly slept on the bottom of our triple bunk bed but various rotations were made to make me stop complaining about the spiders. With F gone, the attention was based mostly on the two oldest, A and Bony-M. ( Previously known as just "M" but had to change because of certain recent events). they too were actresses and I have strange yet wonderful memories of some of the plays. I remember a giant eyeball, some nuns, and a few oompa-loompas, but that's all. I'm pretty sure it wasn't all the same play though.
The next two "college leavings" seemed to happen together. When Bony-M left was the worst although I'm not exactly sure why. It just seemed to hit us younger ones directly when we realized that almost half of our family was gone. Holidays were just never the same.
The next chapter of my life was what I like to call the NOMA years. All that was left was M, Genuine, F2, H, and myself. M was in one school play "Little Shoppe of Horrors" and I remember going onto the stage after a performance and seeing somebody come out of the infamous plant. I had never even thought while I sat and watched the play that anybody was actually inside of their the entire time and had to wave the stems around. It just amazed me, and after that I have always wished my school would cast me as the plant one of these years. The NOMA years are also considered my boring years. I was about 10 years old and nothing particularly eventful happens in 5th grade. Just a lot of westward movement projects. How pointless was that? I just relearned it every year following it anyway. I'm doing it again next year as well!
Well, after M left I was stuck in my NOMO years. With just Genuine, H, F2, and myself left....we mostly depended on Genuine for the entertainment around the house. Since she never left the basement and never got her own room up stairs, she was sick almost all through high school. So I remember those years as smelling of sneezes and chloroseptic throat spray. Not a good couple of years. Although I did get very good grades on my art projects if you get what I mean.
Once Genuine was gone and our new elder was H....we did a lot of shopping. I had to've gone to Value Village at least 20 times that year...and I can't say I got much use out of it and H never shared her clothes anyway. Truthfully I just mooched off of my dad and hoped to get about $5 worth of jeans or shirts. Another strange ritual we had was hoping that our Ford truck would start so we could pick up AKe and drive over to WINCO. A lot of money was spent on useless little debbie snacks and Toy Shoppe machines. Sea Salt and vinegar chips were the best though, and sparkling cider. You can probably imagine how that phase of my life went....filling.
Just recently though, H left us. I finished her off with a shovel and...nah just kidding. She went to college like the braniac that she is and is probably happily living without us.
Right now I'm in the NOHO phase you see. I live with F2 and it's really rather boring. Basically I just go to school, volunteer at the library, do my homework, knit, watch my shows, go onto facebook, and sleep. Breakfast is a maybe and mostly it's just oatmeal. Pathetic? I think yes.
So far what I've noticed is that the longer I continue to lose my family members to universities....the more I have a pathetic life. Youtube is my new friend now. Wait until next year when F2 leaves and mom actually begins to pay attention to everything I do. I'll be screwed and finally she will HAVE to allow me a cell phone. It's all part of my stupid plan to get a cell phone.
This July I'll be getting my permit though....FREEDOM!
