Simple
I've noticed that I have this opposition towards change. I'm sure some of you have already noticed this, looking at how I always eat the same thing, but I'm not talking about that kind of change. I'm talking about major changes. I don't want to change my school, and I don't want to change my home. Those kind of changes scare me, and I get really defensive. The truth of the matter is that I still want to be a kid. I haven't finished playing my games yet. (Even though my last blog said otherwise.) If you tell me to get more exercise I'll just have to say "I've got a busy schedule. The world needs to be saved 3 or 4 more times." (Notice that I don't say when I would finish saving the world.) So, if you are going to suggest more ideas on how I should change, be warned. I would like to keep my life simple. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a busy schedule.
P.S. I haven't been blogging recently because I forgot my password.....and apparently my username as well. I just barely got my username back and made a new password, so I'll try to catch up on my blogs.

It was really funny. Geoffrey thought that he was somone else and actually got their password, so he didn't know that he had forgotten his own until he logged in and saw his "blogs" to know any different.
And bud, I am with you. Moving out of our house scares the shit out of me. It is one thing to move out and be able to come back, but not having the house to come back to will be a huge change for me too.
I think everyone is afraid of the unknown, bud. None of us want a huge change to happen in our lives and then realize afterwards that it's for the worst. But I think the most important thing is your attitude about change. I think Wesley is a perfect example. His life changes frequently but he never seems like he's out of control because if things change for him in a way he doesn't like, he just changes again.
And even though you're younger and some of the big decisions in your life are still made by other people, I still think it's important to note that your attituse is what will make all the difference.
The possibility that the family might move has also made me a little bit anxious and sentimental. I've always considered Mill Street my home base — A place that I could fall back on if I really needed to lick my wounds from the corporate rat race or if relationship turned sour. I suspect I would still be welcome where ever mom decides to put down roots but it's not the same as having a bedroom already waiting for me (with some organization).
Darnest thing, growing up.
I am much like you, Geoff. I resist change. It seems like no matter what we do, though, things are going to change around us whether we like it or not. I like what Kjersti said about attitude. If Mom picks up and moves this year, then if you can think of it as a new start or a new adventure, it helps to not feel sad about what you're leaving behind. You could think, 'I get a new bedroom, and I can decorate it any way I want to.' Or, 'I'm going to be closer to my new school and won't have to ride the bus every morning.' Family is definitely an important part of my life, and I feel that my family is my rock. My job can change, my home, the size of my waistline, and as long as I have a good support group to fall back on, I know it'll all turn out ok. Besides... saving the world can still happen, even if you're in Farmington instead of Bountiful. :)
