To start with:
OMGWTFBBQ, I haven't posted since farkin' January???
I guess in order to participate in social networking you have to be...er...social. Why does no one tell me these things? ^_^
Anyway, as if yesterday, I'm now holding on to the last remaining year of my twenties with a claw-handed death grip. The way I figure it, I'm young enough to get carded (thank you Mom's genes!) and old enough to appreciate when it happens.
For the last few months, I've sort of been pondering that metaphorical list of "Stuff You're Supposed to Have Accomplished by Age 30". Y'know, have a career, settle down with a significant other, spawn... well ok, maybe not that last one. The world is sooo not ready for a mini-me).
Anywho, my sisters have dutifully followed The Plan.
I have accomplished none of the above.
I was rather obsessing about this whole business until I got a phone call from my second-oldest sister, Kris. I expressed all of this to her, and she answered me with the best two sentences ever:
"People live longer now. Screw the checklist."
There are days when I love my family. ^_^
Cheers from the old(ish),
Spidey
