My Awkward Age

Don't get me wrong. 31 has been great. My Year of Shakespeare. One comedy, one tragedy. One play to span late spring and early summer. One to urge me bloody-handed into fall ( Read more... )

AHA! So you're a December baby? That makes you a fellow fire sign. Explains a lot. All my best friends throughout life have been April, August and December babies. I do say "phooie" to 98% of astrology but the elemental stuff? It just keeps proving true for me ( ... )

When is yours? I like phooey, but I do not believe in it any more than I believe in anything. I believe in stories. I am a fantasy writer.

Is it the Internet that encourages introspection? From what I recall, when I was in my early 30s, I was pretty sure the world would be ending soon, one way or another, so what was the point in looking too far forward? Most but not all of the childless women I know never planned for that to happen. I know I never made a conscious decision not to have kids. I knew a few women who had their tubes tied while still in their 20s--those were the exceptions--but most of us muddled along, Micawber-like, assuming that things would take their course and something (or someone) would turn up. Then we were entering menopause, still wondering where the time had gone!

Nah. I was always introspective. Only it used to be spiral notebooks, and entries copied into emails, and mailed en masse to anyone I thought might be interested!

It's kinder this way, with LJ.

AH! But before you EVEN DARE to turn 32, I will turn 31 and WE WILL BE THE SAME AGE. And I think that November truly will be a conquering month for us both. Something about the world not being able to handle all of the awesome we will throw at it with our joint 31s.

no.

Love, love, love, LOVE MY TEMPLETON!!!

I have not arranged an appropriately GORGEOUS birthday present for you yet, which means it might be LATE! Do not hate me, but wait in trembling anticipation! For it is my goal, of course, to turn ALL OF NOVEMBER into your CELEBRATION month!

And if a late birthday present is what will have to do the trick, SO MOTE IT BE!

I need no present, gorgeous lady. I just need your love. And I got that. So I am golden grahams. *smooch*
