I am turning twenty-six later this week. I plan on treating myself to a vacation, a haircut and pedicure with some ladies I know, and drinks with good people.
Also, breaking and entering.
I think I am officially sliding down the slope of my mid-twenties, into my late twenties, and I like it. A lot. I don't think I would have liked it as much had I not had the year that I did -- it was a year that repaired the damage done by the preceding two years, and though there is still half of '08 left, I tend to think of years as passing between birthdays. So from twenty-five to twenty-six, so many things happened that just blew my guts out, good and bad. I haven't talked about them because I don't like to relive things too much, otherwise I tend to wring all the good and fun secret stuff out of memories, but I had a hell of a ride. Twenty-five was pretty legit and pretty kind to me -- in a related note, it was good to my people, too, and that makes me very happy. I hope that twenty-six is another mindbender, and I hope that twenty-five was so ridiculous because there's a hell of a lot more on the way and we needed to do this training regime in order to get my endurance up. That's all I want for my birthday. Just forward movement, onwards and upwards. I hope I dare myself. I hope the world dares me.
This site was a definite reason for the year being as fun as it was, and I thank you for reading, commenting, e-mailing, and the rocks thrown at my face downtown. I apologize, too, for the absences, erratic posts that have nothing to do with food, style or judgment and I can tell you that will change in the near future. I've got some ideas.
Also, my mom says I look younger and younger with each passing day. Do you know what this means? It means I was born a ninety-year old woman. She has also pointed out that since all this bullshit started, my nose has gotten smaller. Is that possible, your nose getting smaller as you lose weight? I don't know. I do know that I don't have the heart to tell her I've just stopped doing coke*.
