Awesome #5

5: Birthdays

So you're older. Sometimes it's no good (when you're older), sometimes it's awesome (my insurance rated went down!). But the rest of it... usually awesome! People you barely talk to? Wish you a happy birthday. Can't afford to go out? Who cares, it's your birthday! You get free stuff (even if not a whole lot of it), you can use the "it's my birthday" excuse to get away with a lot of things...

Basically it was my birthday this weekend. I turned 25. I'm halfway to 50. Halfway through this decade to 30. I feel like I should have gotten so much done in my life because when I was young I wanted to be married, or almost married, by now, and have kids by 30. 5 years? Babies in 5 years?! I can't see that now. But I've got a sweet apartment, a boyfriend who I love so much, a full-time job (barf) and I'm buying a car this week.

On Friday I went out in Guelph with some of my Guelph friends, including a delicious dinner (leftovers tonight!), fishbowls of liquor, A FLAT TIRE, a ridiculous night at Vinyl AND 3 FREE TEQUILA SHOTS IN A ROW. Yes. A grand night. Saturday we woke up early, I went and put a deposit on the car of MY DREAMS, had a nap and went to Emma's Back Porch for good times with great friends. Friends I haven't seen in a while. A shitty waitress and a lot of laughs. So good. Sunday was my actual birthday which included a trip to the mall, some chillage, new curtains and dinner at Jack Astors.

Which, by the way...
