on feeling old[er], saddam, and "the list"

sheesh. i must really be getting old. i've never felt how old 24 was until 4am this morning when i caught my sister sneaking in from a night of partying--after she promised, nay--vowed--to be home before midnight. i was so furious, i really let her have it.

not on my watch, sis. not on my watch. hmph.

grschh. i just hope old doesn't equal boring. i'd hate to be a pill this young.

i just heard about the saddam verdict. death by hanging. jeesh. well i guess the bastard deserved it. it just really bothered me, seeing his reaction (or lack thereof, rather) upon the reading of the verdict. parang...wala lang. and like he kind of enjoyed it. soul-less people, grschh. sabi nga ni anna, "Ganyan talaga pag na-benta mo na kay Satanas yung kaluluwa mo."

gives me the shivers just thinking about it. nyiiii.

it was andrea's 24th last thursday, and we had dinner with leah and mariel. then our mandatory coffee wind-down at coffee bean. that was when "the list" made it's first appearance.

the list is, well, an actual list of the order that we think members of our barkada will (in the course of eventuality) will get, well....hitched. it's silly, i know. it just started out as a joke, since a friend who was supposed to get married next year just happened to break off her engagement recently. so we had this list as a joke that since she occupied the first slot but never really pushed through, she had to make pila again--and no singit. haha.

it's stupid, really. just 24-year-old single ladies having a laugh...while subconsciously trying to picture what life will be like in what--2, 3, 5, 10 years? i don't know, it just got me thinking about how it's the not-so-far future for us, since everybody's at that age already. weird. 5 years ago, i would never have pictured us having that conversation. but here we are. weird.

by the way, just for the curious....i'm number 2 on the list. hehe.
