Actual Birthday |6:51 PM|
I received a lot of phone calls on this, the day of my actual birthday. They were all appreciated, it's nice to get those calls. Sappy as it may be, "Awww, you care!"

This was also the day my mother found out she would not, as of yet, have to have her head cut open. This is marvelous news for everyone, a true relief. The thought of people digging around in your brain is clearly disturbing.
My mom goes to a lot of trouble, and the efforts are appreciated. She's been reminding me how she screwed up her knee helping me out with my cat issues, and so I want to make it clear I'm grateful.
Thanks, ma.

28 is just a goddamn number |10:29 PM|
To be true to the song, that title should be "32" but I'm turning 28 not 32.

Anyhow, in 90 minutes I go up a number, if you want to get down to it it's more like 3.5 hours since I was born on Pacific time.

I don't know what manner of amusement I will engage in on the 17th, though Friday is ze party.

I am currently looking for school related paperwork, so I can make sure I actually graduate and stuff. Also, laundry. Typical, daily grind tasks that I used to completely and utterly suck at, a few years ago. I should pay some bills while I'm at it and floss, just to make it a complete set.

13 days already? |9:45 PM|
Fuck 2007. I want to make that really, truly clear.

There were some truly excellent times this past year. Stuff I wouldn't trade the world for, at all. But that doesn't mean I can't curse and gnash my teeth about the bad shit first.
I lost a lot, this year (and I'm counting the last couple months of 2006 as part of this "year" since it was all so closely related). I lost a job, a steady place of residence, I lost a girlfriend, then a couple of other people I was dating. I nearly lost a vital friendship, I lost a lot of hope for a while. I lost my weeks, in a sense losing my town.

But the losses weren't all bad.
I lost some bad habits, lost some rather oppressive personal restraints, and I lost a lot of weight.

2007 did have such excellent times, trips, parties, exciting first dates, jobs that were (at least at first) interesting, etc etc.
I wanted to vomit out this bile first, so I could get it out of the way, it was weighing down on me. I could rant and rant about this, but what would that accomplish?

I'm going back to school. That's the thread I wrapped around my fist, and I'll use it to haul myself upright. I'm always happier with good posture.
