On Turning 34

I’ve always liked celebrating my birthday. Some people find it too ego-centric once the milestone birthday years pass, but I don’t care. Everyone has the big holidays, this day is MINE. Ok, I suppose it is a little ego driven but you know, I don’t give a shit. I think I’m worth it. So suck it.

But yeah.. 34. Not a remarkable number, but it definately means something to me this year. Now that I think about it, I’m sure I would have found some reason to make it significant even if things hadn’t changed so dramatically for me this year. I would have drank my face off as per usual until the wee hours and felt like ass until about, well, now (the night after). So that’s different. And I actually worked on my birthday like a (pseudo)responsible adult. Granted I didn’t do a whole lot while I was there.. but I went, and you know, I didn’t really mind being there so much. That’s definitely different.

Some friends and I went out and did the whole Tapanyaki table thing for dinner and hung out for a few before heading home early because we were all tired and had to work early. And it was a good time. Thanks to Abe and Jarod for making it happen and thanks to all who came!

30 year-old Shawn would laugh at me, but I don’t really listen to him anymore.
