So there's this carnival being held at my old middle school.  It always comes to town during a weekend in October and when I was young I absolutely loved it.  I remember begging Dad to get my brother and I the all day wristbands so we could ride the rides all day long.

Now?  I only want to go on three rides and...not shop for anything at all.  There's nothing.  Seriously.  Except for these millions of swimming turtles being sold at a booth (! so cute as well.  Usually they sell gold fish at the game booth.  Fish.  Little gold fish.  And now there are sea turtles being sold.  Great, why don't we just auction off the sea turtles with the gold fish?  "Win one gold fish, get a sea turtle for free!") and these oldies CDs which I am comtemplating buying at the moment.  Don't know if I will.  (One CD has Gloria on it.  If you remember The Ousiders movie, they had the song Gloria in it and I have been obsessed over getting the song.)

Did I grow up?  Heck yeah.

(And I think I saw Jose at the Dipping Dots booth.  I swear it looked like him, minus the glasses.  I swear to God...)
