Bring On The “Late 20’s”, Bring On The LOVE!
April 9, 2008
Another April 9th, and another year older.
2008 is a hallmark year for yours truly.
I mean no I’m not 25, no I’m not 30, but YES I AM 27.
This may not seem like a stand-out age on its own, but consider this:
-I’ve officially entered my LATE 20’s.
Shall I gasp?
Well…I don’t know…like there weren’t any hailstorms when the clock struck 12, nor were there any locusts, and not even ONE ”spontaneously-combusting baby”…nothing catastrophic at all.
And the best part?
Well I just stopped typing to cop a quick feel, and hey guess what: “the girls” are as fresh and supple as ever.
If that’s not worthy of a slab of chocolate cake, then I might as well just cut myself and bid you a sad farewell.
But alas, I’m in love with cake (and supple body parts), so let the grand celebration commence!
…
Well actually, before we begin the show, I have a bit more to say, and it happens to go like this…
…I’m one of those people who pauses for a moment to consider my existence, each and every year.
Now of course, 2008 is the “Year of the Chick”, so how do I feel during this year’s pause?
Well the fact is, I feel pretty great. I mean I’m not gonna lie, life can be the dirtiest of sluts from time-to-time, but the overall picture is as sweet as you wanna paint it…don’t you think?
I think so.
For example: I wish I was in “soulmate love”, right this very second, in THIS HERE space and time. The reality suggests something different, because “the love” is not in front of me at all; I mean this laptop is in front of me (and so is an empty bag of brownies and a sweaty belly), but the white-knight? He’s apparently missing in action.
But I’m not sad.
I’m hopeful.
I’m sure that makes me sound like a total cheeseball, but allow me to defend my rosy perspective:
-For the last 5 days, I was completely enchanted by a book, a book called “The History of Love” by Nicole Krauss.
Now I don’t do book reviews on my blog, and I’m not about to start, but I will simply quote one line from the book (a book that is NOT a trashy romance novel…in fact, there aren’t any actual “love scenes” in it at all! Hmm…normally that would piss me off, but anyhoo…on to the quote):
“Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.”
WHAT!?!!?!
Tell me that doesn’t make you swoon, and I will tell you that you’re made of stone.
And even if you STILL feel inclined to scoff at me sarcastically, to you I will say:
“It’s my birthday and I’ll swoon if I want to!!!”
Hmph!
Losers.
So what was I saying?
Oh yeah, LOVE RULES, and one of these days…ONE OF THESE DAYS…
…I’m gonna reach out my hand, and grab a piece.
Romi! I wasn’t able to read your post. First, I was entranced by that sexy face shot. I quickly scrolled down and saw the cleavage shot. You had me swooning, despite the gigantic hand in the cleavage shot.
Happy Birthday!!!
Ok, I read the post. I’m pulling for you Romi! I like your attitude. I still can’t understand how all the single men aren’t fighting over you.
Why are you STILL single? Are men in Canada blind???
Thomas
I have a distinct feeling of dejavu when i say “HAPPY BIRTHDAY”! But late twenties are nothing to worry about, just keep in mind that in two and a bit years you will be thirty and you will enter that suave and cool period for women when they start reflecting on their lives, sitting around drinking coffee and remembering the days when they threw their underwear on the stage at a Backstreet Boys concert.
Oh wait… you still do that right? Sorry forgot you were a BSB fan.
But like hey I have a question.. in that last pic – what the heck are you reaching for? An imaginary floating beer? Nick Carters stage towel? The money in the table dancers g-string? A million possibilities in one photo.
Now go have the biggest chocolate cake you can find…
Happy Birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ROMI!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,….and many more!!!
I’m so glad I didn’t miss your special day. Usually, I’m a day late and a dollar short – so …
have a fabulous birthday, I hope you get loads of prezzies and have a great time!
“Happy Birthday to you…
Happy Birthday to you…
Happy Birthday dear Romi…
Happy Birthday to you!”
Sing it with me people…
(btw, today is my son’s birthday too. Y’all should hook up and celebrate I tell ya!
)
Best of Birthdays!
Your love for cake sounds awfully close to soulmate love!??!
[...] for those who are unaware, today is Romi’s Birthday! Happy Birthday Chickie! I hope your year is filled with appropriate levels of romance. [...]
I don’t think I could wish anything better than balance and peace of mind, which you seem to be evincing in this post. It sounds like you’re in a great place, “soulmate” or no. Nevertheless,
Happy frickin’ birthday! Woohoo! [sloshes his bourbon glass in your general direction]
Happy Birthday Romi!!!
Late 20’s are a hell of a lot of fun! Almost as much fun as your mid 30’s!
I still contend that canadien men must be blind and incredibly stupid. (no offense to canadien men who actually read this blog, you must be the exceptions to the rule…)
Happy Birthday Lady! I hope it’s the best one yet! I too just entered my official late 20’s.
You remind me of Charlotte from Sex and the City. “The Eternal Optimist”
Well, Charlotte with a big splash of Samantha.
Happy Birthday, you’re not 30….yet.
Happy Birthday!!! And remember that age is a state of mind. I still have the state of mind of a young boy. Immaturity has it’s advantages.
Happy birfday to you! And many mooooorrrrre!
Aww, happiest of birthdays to you and a year full of great fun and healthy days! I’m not so sure I really want you to find a mate after all. Then what would happen to all these fun posts I so enjoy reading? I guess that’s kind of selfish of me, huh?
1) The book sounds fabulous.
2) Happy Birthday
3) Way to show some cleavage
4) I love the SATC reference in Lucky’s comment
I’m not sure why I’m writing in #’s, but you are a #’s girl after all.
Miss Romi…
Gonna vet your post for your birthday…full of love and hopefully knee-knocking compliments:
Well I just stopped typing to cop a quick feel, and hey guess what: “the girls” are as fresh and supple as ever.
If you ever need anyone to confirm your diagnosis…
I wish I was in “soulmate love”, right this very second, in THIS HERE space and time.
It’s coming…I promise. You are simply too hot-looking in flannel PJs, too intelligent, too passionate and too funny to stay on the market much longer.
Tell me that doesn’t make you swoon, and I will tell you that you’re made of stone.
Well, the line didn’t make me “swoon”…but then that must be a girl thing. Still…a great line that I wish I could use to make a woman swoon someday (perhaps I will)…kind of like “You complete me” “you make me want to be a better man”…that kind of thing.
I agree with Thomas and Glass O’ Water…Canadian men are blind. Come live in SoCal…you’d have a date any night you wanted one…
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!! 27 is a great age!! But
So far my 30s have been so much more fun and satisfying than my 20s, but 27 was a particularly good year!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! Did you get any broaches for your birthday? Wendy @ Life With Buck posted a photo of all her broaches. She has many, many of them. I only have a few but I think I will post a photo of them anyway. The guys in Canada must be blind because you are one hot chick. Have a great day !!!
Happy Birthday Romi!
Hey Romi! Happy Birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY sorry i couldnt get here earlier!
OMFG!!! Happy Birthday to my precious Canadian-Indian Princess! Today we will worship YOU as the reincarnation of the goddess Durga and not that rotten two-faced baby.
27. just a kid! :-*
Happy Birthday Romi! Late 20’s are nothing, don’t sweat it, you are young and beautiful.
Happy Birthday, Romi!
mmmmm…cake!
i’m typing with one hand over here
that’s right, i’m disgusting!
happy birtday coach, i hope you continue to get older.
Woo-hoo! It’s super-hot-chick-birthday-time!! May your late 20’s be filled with tons of cake, man-cakes, and tons of blog material. You rock Romi!
I’m 856 and on my thirteenth regeneration; count yourself lucky Chick. Have a luvly birthday hope you cope-off soon!!!
Happy first day after your birthday, Romi. Like Lumpy, I’m usually a day late and a dollar short, and today is no exception. Lookin’ good there lady, sexy-sexy.
27 is a good age, unless you spend it like I did. My 27th year was spent in prison. Well part of it. I did 2 and a half years, and I turned 25 shorty after my time started.
I don’t think you have anything to worry about there. 
I hope all went well for you. Take care.
Dammit, I swear I’d already commented on this.
anyhow, Happy Bday and you are freaking cute as a button in that last pic!
So instead of doing the whole GROUP “Thanks for all the Birthday wishes!”-comment, I’m gonna reply to all the comments individually (’cause I’m a “comment-reply”-whore like that…). HOWEVER, it is outside the realm of my interesting personality to simply say “thanks!” to each person without anything more fun, hence…each “thanks, etc” will be accompanied by a TRUE random fact about me!
Doesn’t that sound fun and informative?
Okay…here we go!
. I’m sorry I made you lose your focus the first time around, but don’t you live in California? You should be used to the pleasant-chick-visuals 
…
Daddy Dan: Thank you for your kind wishes and support!
Random-Fact-About-Me: I wear anti-perspirant that smells like cucumber-melon-tropical-bizness, and it’s delightful
twps: Thank you!
I don’t think the guys are blind, but I should conduct some random eye-tests…
Random-Fact-About-Me: 1-out-of-7-times that I brush my teeth, I get sloppy, spill toothpaste-dribble on my PJ’s, and it ends up staining (yeah, ’cause I really want white stains on my PJ’s…*sigh*…)
Paul: Oh dear sweet Paul, I don’t know what to do with you! On the one hand you’re super-cute for dishing out the “double (nay, triple
) birthday-greeting”, but on the other hand you triple-embarrass me about my alleged “BSB” love (and no I never threw my underwear at them, it was more like my push-up bra…LOL…)..for now I’ll just say thanks and deny whatever I need to deny when questioned…hmph!
PS: The great thing about that pic is that I have NO recollection of it being taken…I wanna say that I DEFINITELY WASN’T trying to pull the cash out of a table-dancer’s g-string, but like you said, a million possibilites
Random-Fact-About-Me: Once when I was a cashier at Zellers (think Wal-Mart), a male customer (who admittedly was off his rocker) came up behind the counter and spanked me…I wanna say I didn’t secretly enjoy it…I really wanna say that…
Lumpy: thank you so much! It was one of the best birthdays ever, for no reason other than the fact that I felt so cheery about life on that day…I hope it continues
Random-Fact-About-Me: I have the 80’s classic “Eternal Flame” by the Bangles on my iPod, and it’s currently on regular rotation on the playlist
betme: thanks for the greeting and song, and it still makes me laugh that your son and I have the same birthday
Random-Fact-About-Me: In high-school I used to be on this intense “Trivia Team” that competed against other schools, but I wasn’t as intense as the other “trivia nerds”, so one time one of my teammates yelled at me when I got a seemingly “EASY” question on Astronomy wrong…that fucker.
morethananelectrician: thank you! And before January my blog used to have a giant cake-header, so indeed, my cake-love competes with soulmate-love
Random-Fact-About-Me: when I was 15 I was forced to eat Sushi in our Europe-Asia Geography class; it was one of the most horrific experiences of my life, and I haven’t let myself near sushi since!
Taoist Biker: are you gonna clean up that bourbon-slosh or wtf??? But actually thanks for your zen-ish message, and you picked up on what I was feeling
Random-Fact-About-Me: I like to eat Doritos after I exercise to reward myself for a job well done…there’s something wrong in that I think…
glassowater: thanks
, and perhaps mid-30’s are great for guys who get cooler and generally hotter as they approach that age, but is it just as awesome for chicks? Hmmm….
Random-Fact-About-Me: Every day at work, some time between 2:30 and 3pm, I eat an apple, ’cause you know, I guess they’re good for you and shit…hahaha
Lucky: Thank you, and I LOVE how we’re embarking on the late-20’s thing together….chick power!
)
PS: I used to ALWAYS think I was like Miranda from “Sex and the City”, but the more self-aware I become, the more I realize that my mind’s “eyes” are SO wide-open and stupidly-optimistic about life/dreams, you know? (and yeah a splash of Samantha never hurts
Random-Fact-About-Me: I have seen the movie Serendipity at least 12 times; my favourite part is when she goes back to the cafe to get her bag of gloves, and he goes back to get his scarf, and they meet again “randomly”, and he takes one look at her and says: “let’s do something”, and she’s like: “well whatcha wanna do?”, and he just looks at her totally serious-like and says “I don’t care”…awww
keywork: Thanks!
And indeed, the “I’m 30!” speech is a little ways off 
…
Random-Fact-About-Me: I once threw up in my purse. That is all I have to say about that.
purefneyvl: Thanks, and I knew there was something special about you
Random-Fact-About-Me: my left boob is a little smaller than my right one, so I try to place less emphasis on my left-side when I work out, so it won’t get any smaller and so things will balance out…I don’t think that’s weird though.
swimlappy: thanks, and if I have anything to say about it, I hope for many more indeed!
Random-Fact-About-Me: Fellow-blogger and cool-friend Talea recently introduced me to “Broccoli-and-Cheddar” pizza with cool dipping sauce from this joint called “Pizza Nova”, and it was one the happiest food-experiences I can recall
teeni: thanks for the kind wishes! And don’t worry, I appreciate the sentiment and no I don’t think you’re selfish! (but yes I better find a mate soon!
)
Random-Fact-About-Me: My favourite flavour of Starbucks is the “Toffee-Nut-Latte”, and from what I’ve observed from the other customers, I’m possibly one of the only people that orders it…
Allison: I love how you “get me” and remember what I’m all about with the “numbers thing”
), 3. Lucky made a GREAT call, and 4. if I know you at all via the blog-universe, I think you would LOVE that book 
So 1. thanks for the greeting, 2. I’m glad you enjoy the cleave-shot (it’s all about angles baby
Random-Fact-About-Me: I recently ate my first Dove-chocolate after you mentioned it on my blog a while back, and holy crap, I effin’ love it
Nigel: My, my, my, your compliments are just too much! Thank you, and I am possibly speechless
Random-Fact-About-Me: When I was in high school I had a SERIOUS carnal crush on Liam Neeson.
anger hangover: thanks so much, and I’m really encouraged to hear about how good the 30’s can be!
Random-Fact-About-Me: The “Old Navy” “Summer Clothing Collection” commercials make me wanna throw up.
joanharvest: Thanks, I didn’t get any broaches for my birthday but I love Wendy’s collection! I look foward to seeing yours
Random-Fact-About-Me: I can’t buy watches that are more than $20 each, because for some reason I awkwardly and accidentally break or smash them after not too many uses…that makes me sad.
Racho: thank you very much!
Random-Fact-About-Me: My blood boils with rage when people use the “office microwave” to warm up smelly fish foods at lunch; I think it’s terribly dis-respectful.
Greg: Hey to you too, and thanks!
Random-Fact-About-Me: Last year I officially graduated to applying “holy crap I hope I don’t get old!” eye cream every night before bed…I’m still not sure if I’m comfortable with this.
kaylee: thank you and no problem! I hope you’re feeling alright
Random-Fact-About-Me: On Saturday mornings when I’m eating breakfast, I sometimes watch “Hannah Montana”, despite the fact that I’m twice the age of the target audience…wow, I’ve never told anyone that before…it feels good to finally admit it.
Team Hottie: precious Indian-Canadian princess??? Hahaha, I think I love that, thank you
PS: HOLY CRAP wasn’t that two-faced baby out of this world?
Random-Fact-About-Me: Cate Blanchett is my biggest female crush; she’s talented and distinguished (and English-accented…hellllo, love that!), and she has fantastic lips
Adam: aww…thank you
Random-Fact-About-Me: when I’m at the movies, I always say “NO, I’m NOT gonna get chocolate in addition to popcorn and whatever else”, but somehow I always end up with a box of peanut-Glossettes…
2lazydogs: thanks, and cake is seriously the shit!!
(like in the good way of course…)
Random-Fact-About-Me: I’ve sung “Like a Prayer” by Madonna in my car like a HUNDRED times, and I think that I’m frighteningly good-sounding at it…on that note I’ve never done Karaoke before, but I’ll be hitting that up for the first time in a few weeks, so I might just have to rock that
aniche: uhhh…thanks, and you type pretty good with one hand
Random-Fact-About-Me: I don’t like that all those teenage-boys in this day-and-age have that weird greasy “mop hair” that’s parted messily to the side and falls over their eyes…
mittins: thanks, that is SO sweet, and I’m super-excited about sticking around and getting older
Random-Fact-About-Me: I’ve only gotten the chance to eat mashed potatoes a few times in my life, but I really like them!
Duffboy: Thanks, and man-cakes eh? The combination of my two favourite things
Random-Fact-About-Me: when I was 9, my sister was 11 and my brother was 5 and there was nothing to do during the hot days of summer vacation, my dad would demand that we write out one full page from a book EVERY DAY to help improve our penmanship, and then he would check it when we got home from work…incidentally I have shockingly terrible penmanship (sorry dad!)
The Master: thanks for visiting, thanks for the greeting, and uhh…are you single?
Random-Fact-About-Me: I can make fantasic banana muffins from scratch (but they’re really easy to make so it’s not that big a deal…)
Peter: thank you!! And no I hopefully won’t end up in prison, but hey you turned out just fine right?
Random-Fact-About-Me: I really like the movie “28 Days Later”…I think it’s like a fucking-awesome zombie-movie, ’cause it’s more than just a zombie-movie. If you haven’t seen it, you should
Talea: Thanks dude, and holy crap, I like being cute when I’m not being scary-looking or frumpy, so that’s awesome
Random-Fact-About-Me: Working in the city every day, I have a serious fear of being shat on by a pigeon…it’s already happened to me twice in my life, and I’m just worried about that whole expression: “bad things come in 3’s”…
Okay then, so that concludes tonight’s installment of “Romi-Facts 101″, I hope you learned something!…And with that: “Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!” (I know that’s not seasonally relevant, but I liked the sound of it
)
Hey Romi,
Been a while since I’ve dropped by your blog thingamajigee. But Happy Birthday, soul sistah!
And in the spirit of your comments…
Random-Fact-About-Me: It really annoys me when my dad refers to a flashlight as a “torch”.
Romi, I have been 27 only a few days longer than you. I can say that so far, this has been an eye-opening age. I’ve learned so much about me in the past few days. I can’t wait to see what the rest of the year comes. Though, birthdays suck after 21. I think we should boycott next year’s birthday.
Hey Romi…
Tag. You’re “it”. Cuz I didn’t get you anything for your birthday:
http://thisgoesto11.blogspot.com/2008/04/my-piece-of-crap-blog-sucks.html
Hmm, I thought I commented already, but it may have just been Facebook.
I stopped celebrating the actual number at 25. Last year when I turned 27, I celebrated my 2nd anniversary of being 25. Jes? Jes? Works for me, since I act like I’m 12 most of the time anyway.
Well I was distracted for a few days and I missed the opportunity to wish you a Happy, Happy Birthday on that day, but however late I am going to say The World is a happier, funnier, much more wonderful place because you are in it! And this year will be the one for you. Soul mate approaching!
I hope you had a great day celebrating your birth. Mine was two days before yours and i hate the fact that I’m now 26. I’m old LOL! Either way, I hope you get drunk this weekend and do embarrassing things that may or may not get you arrested.
ELVI!
Happy Birthday! The random facts made me laugh at work, you puked in your purse? That’s ridiculous! Was it a boot and rally or a boot and blackout? Regardless, eat some cake (or an entire cake, it’s your day)!
[...] Cake? Gratuitous cleavage shots? This can only mean one thing!! Its someone’s birthday! I recently stumbled upon a blog unlike any other I’ve seen before. Its not about video games, [...]
Happy Happy Birthday Romi
27, what a lovely age to be! Thanks for posting the super cute pix of yourself. You. Look. Mahvelous!
That’s a nice quote about the boy, the girl, the love and the laughter. But I prefer to think that, rather than Q&A the lovers’ pure enjoyment of one another’s company is what creates this especially musical and joyous laughter.
I am doing okay
Hmmm….The History of Love? That sounds like a pretty boring book. You should read something like World War Z. It’s about zombies, and I saw in your “random facts” that you posted in the comments that you like 28 Days Later.
Ah! Happy Birthday and all that!!
Just wanted to let you know that everytime I felt pathetic for being single at 22, I read your blog and it makes me feel better to know there is someone who is in a much worse situation than me!
Happy Belated B-day! I’m a niner, too.
Hope it was an awesome birthday! Cake just flat-out rules. I gotta have the butter creme icing.
MMm … cake.
Hope you had a great birthday. I know, I missed it
Nice cleavage!
Greetings from the Master. I would love to be at your next knees-up, but my space time machine has gone missing and i am stranded on the planet Zog. Not to worry though. I am sending this video link through the space-time vortex. Hope it reaches you in good order.
Sigh
No need to sigh Earthling. The multi-verse is full of great music here is another fantastic tune from the Master’s universal archive…
Red Canuck: nice to see you again; thanks for checkin’ in on your soul-sistah!
PS: your dad does NOT call a flashlight a torch, really? Hahaha…does he also call a TV a “talking box”??…
bronsonfive: I don’t at all doubt the realization you could have had about life in your first few days of being 27…I am experiencing something similar.
PS: your idea to boycott next year’s birthday is an interesting one, but as it stands, my need for attention knows no bounds.
Nigel: I don’t need presents for my birthday! Your lovely comment is enough
…I’ll check that out in a bit!
May: I definitely act like something between 12-17, and it’s a magical way of life…I look forward to celebrating next year’s 3rd anniversary of 25
dontdatethatdude: no matter what day it is, your comment is very sweet, thank you!
Elvi: Shut the F*** about being old and “26″, you “younger-than-me bitch”!!
…uhh but thanks 
Black Coffee & Bourbon: Thank you, and I’m still in cake de-tox mode
PS: about the puke-in-purse thing…uhhh…well here’s the thing: I was on a bus, and I said to myself: “Romi, there is no leg room, and there is someone sitting beside you, be respectful.” And well, the purse was right there, and well…the rest is history…
David: thank you very much, you are very sweet and complementary! And I have to say, I really like your appendix to that quote
kaylee: I’m glad to hear that
Steve: well…that book was NOT boring, but I definitely like to switch it up, so maybe “World War Z” would be a good follow-up…thanks
Akshay: Thank you, and that was a FINE compliment you gave me, I can still feel the sting of the back-handed slap, hahaha
CuriousC: thank you, and niners pretty much rule, you know?
Matt: thank you very much, but I’m not gonna lie, I’m more of a light-whipped icing gal myself
Red: thank you, and WELCOME BACK!
I missed you!!!
The Master: thanks, and just reading your comments friggin’ cracks me up
PS: Abba AND Duran Duran? THANKS, that’s the most “synthesizer” I’ve heard in an 8-minute stretch in a LONG while…lol..
Greg: “Sigh”? Why the sigh? Does visiting my blog make you tired? Go have an energy-bar
Believe me, your blog does not make me tired.
Happy Birthday, Romi!
You’re looking hot in your hot pink birthday shirt Romilatta. And I love that Krauss line. I need someone to answer the question of my laughter. Happy Belated Birthday beyotch!
Romi-
Greetings little one!!! YOU’RE 27?!?!?!?!? Judging from the pics, I would have guessed about 19 or so… These are actually the first good pictures that i have seen of you, i didn’t realize that you were quite so beautiful; like a few others have mentioned, are the guys in Canada fucking blind? Or just all gay? I think I know what it is Romi; your beauty keeps all the men away, because it is fairly well known that men are intimidated by gorgeous women. So, grab a knife, slice that pretty little face of yours to ribbons, and you’ll be on the way to happily married bliss in no time!!!! J/K!! In all honesty, I truly hope that one day your able to find the person that can “answer the question of your laughter” (great line, btw)… That is of course, you don’t ALREADY possess a spectacular boyfriend, and write this blog just to fuck with everyone… (the more I learn about you the more I’m inclined to believe this is true… how in the FUCK could you not have someone in your life? You’re too smart, funny, beautiful, and just seemingly too awesome to not be bringing joy to someone, and be experiencing that same joy yourself) Good luck Romi, and Happy Belated B-day! *gives flowers*
Happy Birthday, Romi! You are adorable.
I would kill to be 27 rather than 37.
i will. i will come back. just wait until after graduation. im going nuts right now… i will have many stories… i promise.
Greg: that is good to know; I don’t want to be a sleeping-pill substitute for anyone
hroman: thank you brown brother, now what’d you get me?
abarclay: thanks for the wish fellow biatch
…I think we need to just start randomly hitting up bars together and start spontaneously laughing loudly, and then see which guys answer the question of our totally well-adjusted and non-psycho laughter 
DoesItREALLYmatter? HAHAHAHA…19? You are officially my new favourite person
. And thank you for the sweet compliment…hopefully I can find a mate before I have to resort to slicing my face up…lol…and on that NOTE: NO, there is not some wonderful dude who I see or go home to…in fact the whole thing has become a pretty comical topic amongst me and my friends…there can’t be something horribly wrong with me that I haven’t noticed, can there be? hahaha…so indeed, whether I’m all those great things you mentioned or some crazier ones 
…I am alone, but perhaps sometimes, it just takes a little bit longer…I guess the world is kinda funny like that…which means, your next dose of love will find it’s way to you too i’m sure 
PS: thanks for the flowers!!
Wendy: aww…thanks, and you are super-sweet…for real, I can totally imagine hanging out with you and making fun of a bunch of shit and having a laugh riot
You’re almost there! I and many others will anxiously await your post-graduation triumphant return to pessimism 
girlfromtheghetto: hahaha…I’d probably kill to be 17 instead of 27, though I’d want a serious “do-over”, like for example an “age 17″ where I pluck my eyebrows and have the need to wear a bra…lol..
thatpessimist: pffffffft….higher education, whatever!! LOL…just joking I’m proud of you!
Happy belated B-day.
Put on your best pouty face in pic #1, I see. Way better than the “Come hither look” of a while back.
You look beyond drunk in pic #2. Your eyes are more glazed than a doughnut. Did you have a special birthday ‘treat’? What were you reaching out to? A big pink bunny? Seriously, it belongs on a CD cover.
You rock chick. I will settle acounts with the Doctor shortly. Count on it…
What are you worried about? Try being 40, soon to be 41. Sheesh – enjoy being young will you still are!
paulmct: haha, yeah, my “come hither” face is back to the drawing board; it needs some serious adjustments, so I’ll come back in June with a new attempt at that
PS: hahaha, now all I have to do is record a CD and the cover is already made!
PS: at first I thought I looked pretty “together” in that pic, but now that you mention it, the eyes are pretty glazed, and the fact that I don’t remember it ever being taken, and also don’t remember what the hell I was reaching for, I suppose you could say that the alcohol had taken hold
…
The Master: good luck with that battle, and if it gets violent, make sure to get me ring-side seats…
What I mean is, based on my positive outlook in my post, I was trying to get across that I am not afraid of this age, but that I look forward to it (and so far I’m enjoying it)…it only gets better…as for you, I don’t know you, but if you’re enjoying the dance of life, I’m sure it radiates all over you, no matter what age you are 
shornsheep: welcome, and you’re 40? Shit, that fucking sucks….LOL…just joking, just joking!
