The Birthday Approaches

I am not so sure why, but this year, I am actually looking forward to my birthday. I mean, normally, like, ever since I was like 16, I never cared much for that birthday thing. But this year, I am all like "Wow! I'll be TWENTY SIX! Woooo!"

It may be that I can't believe I'm still alive.

For a while there, things were looking pretty doubtful. For like, quite some time.


But I don't know. Maybe I am flying in the face of tradition. Subconsciously. Tricking myself. So instead of being like "OH NO I AM SO CLOSE TO BEING 30 YEARS OLD" I am instead like "OH GOD YES I AM ALMOST 30 YEARS OLD CAN ANYTHING BE BETTER???"

Only I am in no way even slightly sarcastic.



My mind is a mystery even to me.


An interesting thing to note is that I am all the way moved into my new home. Although, unlike XV, I am not sitting here saying OH THANK GOD! MT ORAB IS MY TRUE HOME AND I WILL NEVER GO AWAY FROM IT AGAIN because I have absolutely no emotional attachment to this completely unremarkable place. I mean, it turns out that more highschool friends live here than I would have ever believed possible, but I understand that this is a very temporary situation with them, with all of us, as we are all still in deep transitional moments in our lives.

I can only shrug.


Well, shrug and drink gin I guess.


I really like gin.


I have DSL now. Can you believe it? I've just stopped wearing pants completely because the Internet Speed is so great that it probably won't be safe to wear pants anymore for at least like 7 months. I hope it is a mild winter. But yeah, I'm enthused over this shit. Enthuse with me.


BECAUSE I SAID SO!
