summer_jackelSo 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*.
