Black Jack
I turned 21 on the 27th; pretty sure that means I win.
My party was more than I expected as my plan was to get drunk at a bar alone. I'm glad that didn't happen. Really I just wanted to drink a bit and talk to some friends and that is exactly what I got. Since then I've been getting to know alcohol all over again and it's still not really my thing. That's okay and all, but I've got birthday presents to drink. It's like when your grandma gives you a sweater you don't like and you have to wear it anyhow. Nevermind, it's not, because that sweater is a bottle of gin.
In other news I got into the creative writing program at the UW. It was taking longer than I thought and I already had this backup plan; if I got rejected I would pick up Laura and move somewhere different. Maybe try and go to school in Canada or move to the east coast and go to some community college for a while. There isn't much beyond college tying me down here and I'm in the market for some change. Plus, I was a shoe-in for that program and I would have been angry enough to drop everything and leave for a year or more. I always get much more excited for my backup plans than my first choices.
By accepting this I've come to terms with not having money for life and I'm okay with that because I can't think of anything good to do with the money I have. That out of the way, the sky's the limit.
