Will you please look at the date?

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.)
