My family has postponed my birthday until February. If I was aware that one could simply postpone their birthday, I would have done so years ago when I was only turning 25; I would still be turning 25 and not a dreadful 28. Ironically, 28 will seem like a youthful dream years from now when I’m staring down 40 and will remark: “If only I appreciated being so young.” Alas, by my twenty something nature, it’s nearly impossible to appreciate anything until it is ripped violently from my careless fingers. So tonight’s homework (since it's a proper weekend night) is to appreciate my youth and set out on the world like a warrior. I will brave, headstrong, into the cold night in search of youthful companions and good times in the wee hours of the night (or morning). The only adult behavior required is maintaining all my belongings; I must come home with what I left with, including my pride. Now come to think of it…I probably shouldn’t drink too much, I have a big day tomorrow…and it will be cold tonight so a local outing will serve me best…and I must remember to feed the cat, turn off the space heater, go to the ATM in case I have to take a car service, eat a proper meal as not to become overly drunk to early in the evening…
I’m so 28.
Rhtl Update: After, coming home from their harrowing blizzard adventures, the rhtl is temporarily down a member. As soon as the trio is restored, exciting times will be abound.
