Birthdays They Come And Go

I celebrated the first anniversary of my 21st Birthday yesterday, waking up with a nice message from Ash, and spending most of the day running about not getting much done at all. there was a sprinkle of messages in the rest of the morning, but it only really emphasised the lack of messages from others, and the annoyance at myself for feeling like I needed messages. I've worked almost too much this past fortnight, but despite a bit of a splurge on books on Sunday, I'll still squeak by rent for another fortnight, with enough to satisfy the hungry beasts at Optus. I've got 10,000 words due in three weeks, but I'm not stressed enough to do much about it. really, this is probably a low end of the emotional cycle, perfectly matched to the weather, and synching well with my birthday.

I'm not writing this to guilt anyone, because I didn't sell the idea of my birthday, and I never did want much attention for them at school. Everyone's just as self-centric as I am, and it was good to have a day to reflect on what being 22 is about, what 5 years of Uni will do to an individual, and just which country I'll have to teach english in for 6 months to become a quality candidate.

Blues are thrashing Reds at the moment, but it's hard to get excited about such a drag of a game. World Cup and A-League, c'mon already. posted by Keegan at 8:34 pm
