so i turn 21 in only 7 hours now and that’s scary. like i said before: holy crap.

but enough about that (until later). what else happened today? not a lot. i got five pieces of mail, four of them birthday-related, yesterday afternoon, and today nothing but a box of contact lenses i ordered monday. and although i’m duly impressed with the speed of their arrival, it’s not a very exciting thing to receive the day before your birthday.

oh, and i didn’t actually open any of the birthday-related mail yet, because it’s not my birthday yet.

and i went in and picked up my last check today, which i was projecting would be awkward and painful, but was really quick and painless and fine. my boss was happy to see me, and said she missed me, and asked how i was; it was all very nice. i’m glad there are no hard feelings (or at least if there were she kept them to herself and didn’t spoil my day. heh.) so i’m cashed out and done with that place.

oh, and it has been decided as of last night there will be a party here saturday to honor the passage out of childhood for both myself and my pal justin (who turned 21 today, quel coincidence!) this saturday in my apartment. if you read this, well, you must be interested enough in my life to stop by for a drink if you’re in the neighborhood, so please do so. world travelers are also welcome to traverse nations to attend because this is a once in a lifetime event (for me, that is — how good a time you have is up to you).
