My life as a sixteen year old normally consists of going out with friends. Shopping, walking, street surfing, bowling, etc.
However, with my being out later than my, what I would call, over-protective mother, it normally means I'm restricted a few weekends and I'm forcefully pressured into doing jobs, ironing, hovering, Tidying cupboards, cooking, cleaning the bathroom - the worst job, I would say, I could possibly do. Having all these jobs piled on my life could be seen as positive and negative in ways.
It's mainly negative however, who would enjoy doing jobs like that? I don't mind a few jobs like cooking, this is a time when I can zone out and listen to music, whilst creating the next meal Heston would love to eat.. I would think. However who would enjoy tidying? Unless, you're starring on "how clean is your house" or you're Kim Woodburn and Aggie MacKenzie, they both look as if they enjoy being shocked by the day to day mess and horrors people's homes are actually in.
The positive things about it is the fact you can have people judge your home and mentally point things out about you, sorry.. that's probably negative again. Well, not everyone does that, I'm sure. Knowing that things are in order and people can actually come around and enjoy themselves without the thought of dvds, coursework, makeup or even clothes getting in the way or being trampled on. Once I leave home, I'm going to have to do eveything for myself, unless I employ a maid to clean everything after me. The chances of me being able to afford anything/anyone like that.. probably, nil.
Once I leave home - I'm dreading it. - I know, for a fact, I will have friends staying over most nights. This will mean, most my mornings will consist of tidying up after them and putting everything that was in order but now on the floor, back into the normal place it should be. How do I know this will happen? I'm a messy person at times, my room goes from being spotless to being a bombsite in under about 10 seconds. This would be due to me loosing something... I would normally be able to find... when my room is messy. Having this curse of being a "Messy person" rubs off onto my friends. When my friends come around to stay, we have food and drinks in my room whilst gossiping about anything. By the end of the night, my room is stacked up to the top with: uneaten food, half drunk drinks, plates, forks, knives and the occasional spoons. - whilst writing this, I got a lecture about eating ice cream with forks by one of the stranger/strangest girl in my class. Are you as confused as I am right now? I have to say, she's original. -
For now, I'm happy at home. I will most likely do the jobs without complaining - Not a promise, you can probably tell, I moan about pretty much most things. -
Maybe, I'm just a negative person, think too much or even just plain lazy. Who knows, either way I'm happy.
