Flowers, Balloons, Puppies, Twins… Val! and Ness (well… I) turned 28 at midnight!

Happy Birthday to Us!!!!
And Happy Birthday to my twin sister Vallie!

Making Out Like a Bandit
Justin gave me a new cell phone, a black zebra shirt I’d been ogling, and a sexy, red 350 gig wallet drive. Sweet! Data in one, easy access spot!
Val! gave me a book with travel tips and inspirations for solo female travelers (Fly Solo) and a book about traveling for hobbies, education, or just about any other interest you might have (The 100 Best Vacations to Enrich Your Life). They’re both rad. She also gave me a pair of pink star earrings a la Jem (which I’ll be wearing soon) and a gift card for an *hour long* massage. WOOHOO!
Mom sent a lovely bouquet of flowers (pictured above).
ALA sent me flowers too. =) That was super sweet of them.
Lyndia (Justin’s mom) gave me a necklace and earring set and cash (always good).
I’ve gotten phone calls; e-mails; IMs; Adventured.net, MySpace and Facebook comments as well as Twitter tweets. I feel loved. Thanks guys! =)
Happy Birthday Justin!

Happy birthday, sweetie. I am very glad to have you as my fiance and am looking forward to all the cool things we’ll be able to see and do together. I hope you have a fantastic birthday!
Lots and lots of love, hugs, and kisses!

Ponderings in the Shower

Written July 2, 2008: I moved to New York City so I could become complacent with my life. My life here is no bigger or smaller than it’s ever been - neither more nor less important.
In a way, it *feels* a little bigger because of this enormously populated, exaggeratedly important city. Everyone knows of it, speaks of it, longs to be here for one reason or another even if they’re at the furthest corners of the world. Movies are filmed here, books are written here, tv shows are shot here… It’s definitely recognizable, and being even slightly affiliated with a place so well-known and lusted after makes my life feel just a millimeter more significant.
But in other ways, I am much more isolated in this cut-throat, self-serving, me-first sort of city. I lost it the other night, crying to Justin and wondering if I’d ever have any real friends again.
July 4, 2008: Happy birthday, Michieru. Hope you’re making the most of it!
Happy Birthday, Babies!
