Stand Aside

I've been back in Luzern for a couple days now, but only now find myself with the time to type.

New Years was fine, as was my birthday. I boycotted New Year's Eve, and went to bed at eight-thirty, in the evening. Yes, and I am not ashamed of it either. New Year's Eve reminds me of prom, all build-up and all disappointment. So, I slept right through the disappointment and spent my 25th birthday watching America's New Top Model, and going to the movies and dinner with family. It was fine, and as Dr.Sylvia mentioned, numeral times, I am now a quarter of a century old. Woo-hoo.

As much as 2008 holds a shit-load of challenges for me (my final exams, moving back to California, finding a job, living with my parents.), I am actually feeling pretty good about starting this year. I am single, learning a trade that I love and am actually good at, all my family and friends are healthy and alive, wear a large "gold" watch, have AMAZING hair, and live in Europe. So, as much as this year scares me a bit with all the changes it holds, and annoys me that there is so much work to be done, I'm thankful for what I have, and am ready to wrap this chapter up and start a new one. Watch out.

So, I wish everyone a golden 2008, it might just be epic.
