*blows the dust around* oogh. I'm not gonna say I should write in here more often.... so busy lately...
it's copperbadge's birthday, and as always, he has something thinky to say about it, which got me thinking about stuff... My birthday's on Friday. I'm going to be 24, and I'm in my sixth year of work on my Associate's Degree. And usually, I'm ok with that. I'm not at all ready to say I'm a grown up, even when I've just moved into my third home-without-my-parents, and I bought a car all by myself and I pay car insurance and take out the trash and sleep in a queen size bed and make decisions about bills... I know I seem ancient to the kids I work with, but I still feel like there's so much I don't know and can't do yet. And I think, mostly, that's a good way to approach life. But lately I worry that that I won't ever get to know and do the things I know nothing about... Eck. This is turning way more navel-gazey than I meant for it to.
I can't decide what to do for my birthday. We're still testing the waters of our new place, so we don't want to have a huge party; we're having a housewarming on saturday, but the roomies want to keep it low-key, so we can't invite a ton of people... and, well, I know a ton of people... In separate groups that don't really overlap so much, so having them all in one place would be awkward anyway, but... I don't know what to do...
