No longer twenty three spaces

by E.P. on September 23, 2008

I’m a year older today. Weird.

I’ve been doing this little thing for the past few years in my LJ in celebration of my day. I plan to continue that tradition here.

So, without further ado…

10 Things I Know at the Age of 24 at 8:02 a.m. on the 23rd of September: (in no particular order)

01. I cannot imagine doing anything else with my life right now.

02. Trashy reality TV shows are fantastic on a lazy evening.

03. Getting a dog was one of the best decisions I have made since moving to my little town. Although she has completely wrecked my sleep schedule, she is a fantastic companion.

04. Big-time photo editor on PJ (and life): “It’s no fun until someone asks you to leave.”

05. Time is the ultimate super-glue.

06. 2 Italian margaritas + 2 amaretto sours + 3 beers + 1 victory shot + 6 a.m. wake-up call = grumpy E.P.

07. Early morning walks where the rising sun can be seen are the best. Something about seeing the world wake up is magical.

08. Buffets always sound like a good idea. They’re not. Ever.

09. I would rather have a few incredible friends than a lot of mediocre ones.

10. Sometimes, the unexpected is even better than you could have dreamed.

I hope y’all have a lovely Tuesday!

    Happy birthday!!!!

    So much blog love for you.
  • For your birthday, I'm letting you in on a secret. You're one of my absolutely favorite bloggers. :-)
  • Loved this! Wonderful insights.

    (Although when I first read #4, I thought he meant - you don't like your job until you're in jeopardy of losing it. Ha. Which I ALSO agree with!!)

    Happy birthday, my dear. :) Enjoy it.

    (We're EXACTLY 3 weeks apart - I'll be 24 on the 14th!)
  • Happy birthday! Huge fan of #9, myself. It really holds true. What's the point of having +30 friends if none of them feel like true blue friends?
