quick before the clock turns to midnight.
when i was younger, i was 100% convinced i wouldn't make it past 27. and yes, it was lame, and yes, it was because kurt cobain had died at 27, and janis joplin, and a whole bunch of others who are escaping me right now. but i was convinced i would be dead by like, 30 at the latest. i had absolutely zero faith in the likelihood of me living long enough to die of old age, or whatever.
and now, here i am, turning 27. and it just feels weird, is all. it just feels strange. it makes me feel old, and it makes me pensive, and it's just weird. memories are coming back, old ghosts are haunting, and i don't know what to do.
i don't know why 27 is such a big deal. i don't. but it just kinda is.
so uh, wish me luck tomorrow (not just dinner with mom, but now a whole big group meeting at work where i get to find out in front of everyone i work with that i didn't get a promotion and they did, yay!), and i guess i'll talk to you all on the other side of 27.
