QUARTER CENTURY

holy ass! i'm 25 today!!!!

and i haven't been this excited about a berfday since i was about 10. cause i have way more friends now and they will actually *come* to my party!

i'm not making transparencies for my meeting *cause it's my birthday*
i'm not going to a 2-hour R&D presentation from 3 to 5 *cause it's my birthday*
i'm not paying for my margarita at lunch *cause it's my birthday*
it's ok to show up to my next meeting smelling of tequila *cause it's my birthday*
i'm leaving work early *cause it's my birthday*

i don't even care about presents anymore, that's how i can tell i'm finally a grown-up; i just want to see my friends and have me get all the attention. horray for maturity! although i'm hoping i'll get a set of jumper cables. and really, if i have any wealthy patrons of whom i was previously unaware, feel free to send me gap gift cards. cause i've been on a "pay for grad school apps and get out of debt by 2030" budget and i haven't been shopping in forever AND I'M GOING CRAZY! thank you :)
