Yes, I celebrated my..er..our 19th birthday yesterday, but it was too busy (I do have a few friends, surprisingly) to go up to the puter and post. Next year I'll be 20, and I can't help but feeling a bit old already. When I was 12 I always said I would probably die at 18 so I can't tell you how glad I was that didn't happen. (depressed? Me? Well, duh) Also don't forget to congratulate Alec Guinness too, who, if I'm not mistaken, celebrated his 85th birthday yesterday.

You think that's bad? I'm 21. By now I'm expected to know what I want to be, where I want to live, and have left a trail of single mothers across the country!

Until recently, the above words never seemed to happen together, for me.
Eighteenth - I spent in the woods of Pennsylvania with a bunch of old boring guys, learning Scouting leadership.
Twenty-first - Bought bottle of vodka. Drank 5 shots of same. Went for short walk around campus. Stood on bridge over gorge. Didn't jump. Went back to room and fell asleep.
Twenty-fifth - Slept through most of it, sick with flu.
(now it starts getting better)
Twenty-sixth - Spent with new gf. Mention of activities prohibited.
Twenty-seventh - See Twenty-sixth.
Looking forward to Twenty-eighth.
You're not old, and it ain't over till it's over! Wheee!
Well, being a Vorlon, that would be my 19th millenium, not year. =P

One week from today will be my twentieth birthday. I feel like I've squandered a fifth of a century, but oh well. Happy Birthday to all the April babies in here!

*counts all 20 of her gray hairs and sighs* Old, at 19? Well, I suppose. I'll be 20 on April 12. But come, now, what happened to that "age is just a number" thing? .. (of course, if I held true to that, sometimes i'd be the equivalent of a 4 year old, and sometimes i'd be like 40 or something). I think of it as more than age... but... like growing and stuff. Have you ever had a "tall" day? That's when like, you look around and suddenly realize that you can reach things you never could before, that you can look DOWN on people, and that you can see more of your mother than her knees :-) ... well, I think we should count it like that. At my near 20 years of age, there are alot of things I should know that I don't.... and there are alot of things I know that I shouldn't. One thing is patently clear, however. I know more things now than I did when i was 4 (obviously, i'm typing to you) and when I am 30, or 40, or 50 will know still more things. And is knowledge such a bad thing? .... Don't think of it as getting old. Think of it as getting wiser. :-) (or at least, we hope. *LOL*)

Yep, I'm still counting down to my big 2-0 on the 10th. ::sigh:: Now I really do feel freakin' old!
