How, when, and why did it become April 29th? It's almost May. It's getting to be a year since...since everything. Life is such a crazy, crazy sequence of events. I remember when I turned 21, my old GM at Croma said, "Emily, once you hit 21 your life is over. Over." Over? Shit. Well, I don't think it's over, but things are certainly going by pretty quickly. I don't think I've had two consecutive years in my life that have been similar. There are always these drastic changes in friends, boyfriends, apartments, jobs. I guess high school was pretty even, but not really, and definitely not since then. I wonder when, if ever, it will all sort of plateau. There are the constants, though, and for those I am thankful. I know my family will always be the same and there, and Liz was my best friend when I was 12 and will be when I'm 112. Of that I am sure. (I often recite "the sunscreen song" in my head while I'm walking down the street. Come on, Kourt, I know you do it too. "Maybe you'll marry...maybe you won't...Maybe you'll dance the funky chicken at your 25th wedding anniversary." God I miss you.)
