My Priorities.

My mama has told me I don't have my priorities in order. I haven't decided whether or not I think she's right. Maybe my priorities are right for me and only me. And what exactly is a friggin priority in the first place? According to dictionary.com , a priority is this:

1. the state or quality of being earlier in time, occurrence, etc.


2. the right to precede others in order, rank, privilege, etc.; precedence.

3. the right to take precedence in obtaining certain supplies, services, facilities, etc., esp. during a shortage.

4. something given special attention.

Well... I assume the one of those my mother is speaking of is number four... something I give special attention to... hmm... well, just to humor my mother, here are my top ten priorities.
 
10. Making sure I don't kill myself walking across the road to walk the damn dog.
 
9. Keeping up my grades in school. Although this time of year I'm to the point where I don't give a shit what my grades are like. I'm ready for summer. And I'm ready to leave.
 
8. Drama. And making sure I stay out of it. The last thing I need is a shitload of drama to deal with.
 
7. Chloé. I'm worried about her more now that Brad and Kelly are divorced. The poor kid thinks it's her fault and no one's bothering to tell her it's not, and it's quite frankly pissing me off.
 
6. My dad. I worry about him when he travels. The second last thing I need is for a terrorist to crash his plane. That would suck. Really bad.
 
5. Nick, Tyler, Nathan, JP, Ethan, and Brayden. Brothers suck sometimes, but I love them.
 
4. Where I'm going to end up living. I can't help but think about this every day... for a pretty good portion of the day.
 
3. Robert. Yes, Mother. My boyfriend comes before grades, my family, and my dog... aren't I a bad child? >:D
 
2. My writing. No matter how much QB, TH, and MER tell me I'm not good, I really don't care about their opinions. I still think I'm good. Wait, scratch that. I KNOW I'm good. What now?
 
1. Myself. Selfish, hmm, Mother? But yes, I am my number one priority. I'm tired of worrying about everyone else and what everyone is going to say about what I do or say. I'm tired of having to live my life to please people- and especially you. It never worked well in the past, and it sure as hell won't work in the future.
 
So, there you are. ^^^ Those are my priorities. Get over it. They won't change for you.
