"And that's what we do when we're 23" -Amber Rubarth

Soooooooooooo my little blogging world.

Today just HAPPENS to be my birthday. Yes. You read that right. It's my BIRTHDAY! And that means that I'll have more facebook posts today than the rest of the year combined and I get credit for keeping myself alive for yet another year. Go me! And in 4.38 years I'll be able to celebrate that I've been alive for 10,000 days. (Three years ago I was riding the luge or zorbing in New Zealand).

I'm throwing myself a Peter Pan party tonight. I told people to come dressed as a pirate or an Indian or a lost boy or something. I think I'll be going as the second star to the right. (Ain't I witty?) I love parties...particularly when people come to worship me.

The answer to the question you're thinking is:
I am 23. And I love it because this song means so much more to me. It's "23" by Amber Rubarth. (I'm writing this in the library and I don't have headphones, so I haven't actually previewed this movie, but from what I can tell, there quite a bit of dialogue prior to the song.)



BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!
Christmas was fantastic. I got a knife block and I put it to use daily. My favorite is the cheese knife which, at first, I wondered how it is different than any other knife, but now I use it all the time...although I still have no clue whether it is actually any better for cutting cheese.

My last semester of school (or so I think) has begun. I'm taking swimming and anatomy for kicks and giggles. I feel rejuvenated and excited to learn and I love living in a college town where I can mingle with different kinds of people. My life rocks. My family rocks. My friends all rock. School rocks. Work rocks. Everything rocks.

Condoleezza Rice came to speak to my school the other day. I think she is awesome. She's charismatic, intelligent, and plays piano. I liked her line "what once seemed impossible in retrospect seems only inevitable." It shocked me into realizing that the small acts we do today grow over time. Duh. I already knew that...but I just hadn't known that, if you know what I mean.

I have new roommates (I'll talk about them some other day...because today is MY day because it's MY birthday). My brothers and best friend will soon be leaving the MTC (not to be confused with MTV) and will be rocking South America.

Aaaaaaaand I'm off to go be part of a Divine Comedy music video in the testing center.
