things i've realized since turning 25

this weekend was filled with eye opening revelations. let me indulge you:

i'm much more easily amused now that i'm 25.
i know, you didn't think it could get any easier to conjure a laugh out of me, but it indeed has become much, much easier. you don't have to do anything. i was walking to Cow's End on Saturday morning and realized i had a giant grin on my face for no apparent reason. i began to laugh hysterically due to this fact without any prompting, and Dave and Chels probably thought i was insane/still drunk/high or any combination thereof. they may have been right...

when i was 19, i was a rockstar.
though i will (proudly) say that at no point this weekend was i desperately hurting due to over abusing substances, i was tired as fuck. in fact, i still am. back in the day (sung: when i was young, i'm not a kid anymore but some days i sit and wish i was a kid again - i love that song...) i could drink, smoke, drink, smoke, drink, and God only knows what else with out any physical punishment. after TDS show tonight, i may need a few days of recuperation as a hermit.

i have the greatest fucking friends in the world.
don't be offended, it's not as if i was unaware that you are all supremely fantastic, but this weekend truly highlighted just how much i love/need/appreciate you for what you each respectively bring to the table. this whole weekend was flawless and i thank you for all of the effort you put into stringing it together. from my surprise dinner at Robata Bar, to shaking a tail feather at Nikki's, to breakfast at Jinky's, to being stoned out of my head, to celebrating Lindsay's last night at the Tavy, to thrift store shopping on Fairfax, to American Gladiators... it was too much fun to know what to do with.

what a lucky, lucky girl i am...
