Birthday Jackel

[summer_jackel]

So I'm 31 today. On May 31. A bit of numerical niftiness that even I have to enjoy.

Should be fun; I have plans for tonight and the weekend that ought to be great. Right now, I'm going to walk my dogs into the foggy morning, which really is what I do and what I enjoy, a daily ritual that sustains me as much as any holiday.

Still, processing. Getting older is interesting. In some ways I feel far closer to my essential self, as it were, than I ever did in my 20's. In others, I don't even recognize myself any more. So much has changed, and is changing, and will, I'm sure, continue to do so. It's like a river, I guess...stay above water, enjoy the beauty of it, avoid drowning. It eventually all becomes sea.

EDIT:
Oh, and you guys all know what I like. Neat links to photos/etc of jackals, cephalopods, wild canids and felids, a favorite song, SKETCHES, tasty ficbits, shiny things, porn, a virtual skritch behind the ears...all sortsa things. Sweet Net carrion!!! I will be at work today, feel free to entertain me if you so desire. ;D *wags and yips and is dorky*.

Bday

Happy Bday. I think it's safest to not analyze it too much, once you hit 30 the chances of depression for every additional year are too high :)

Hope you have some nice plans, but looking at the number of trips you've made lately you are doing well on the 'treating yourself' part. It looks like you've been having fun. That's good.

I remember thinking about the coolness of numbers when I turned 24 on the 24th of October. That was a while ago now.

Many happy returns! And you'll find that one of the fun things about getting older is seeing all the different ways you can reinvent yourself and still remain you.

Happy Birthdays! I'll find some pictures of the fried chicken you wanted. No worries!

I thought I responded to this at the time. Ack! %-p

Anyway, happy late birthday! For your present, I'm stealing the river metaphor for my quotebook. Which ... uh ... is kind of an anti-present. Great, now I owe you two ... :)
