recently, i was lucky enough to have yet another extraordinarily fulfilling, poignant birthday recently. the stars were aligned for everything to go well. i have amazing, talented, clever friends generous enough to indulge my every whim. whether it meant being dragged around the bay, witnessing the defecation habits of goats, or being stuffed silly into a tiny living room, they did it all.

thanks everyone for making me feel special. birthdays are always opportune for feeling deeply grateful just to be alive. they’re also times of anxious and pensive introspection. i’m a year away from the age my mom was when she birthed me. i have the financial management skills of a 14 year old and the achievements and ambitions of a fetus. i’ll probably still be living with three other people in the same apartment by retirement age. that’s some unsavory food for thought. however, i do have at least one thing to show for myself — and that’s my friends and family.

extra big ups to peg for being ringleader and over-the-top awesome foods/drinks provider.
