One quarter-century down
We are not going to talk about my 25th birthday, because it was the worst fucking day in recent memory, except for the neat Japanese-themed birthday party my new friends in California threw for me. They got me a betta fish named Mr. Roboto (aka Roboto-san). That was cool. The rest of the day was a nightmare from the moment I woke up.
We are also not going to talk about how it felt on Saturday night when we all went to Ventura and I had to watch the guy I'd been seeing for almost three months, on the last night we'd get to go out before he gets out of the service and goes home and I'll never see him again, spend the entire night hitting on every girl he saw. (Oh yeah, I don't think I got to tell you folks that my boyfriend from Misawa dumped me like a pile of utterly forgettable trash less than a week before I left.)
No. We will not talk in-depth about anything negative. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Adrian as well! We are now more credit-worthy people with better car insurance rates and who will be less hassled when trying to rent a car. I can only thank the world for a mother who shuns marriage and could care less about grandchildren, because we are now at an age when some of my friends are getting pestered about the timeliness of their hopeful future families.
Speaking of marriage, no, thank you. I really don't think I ever will. I don't trust anyone that far any more. All I ever see people do anymore is cheat and scorn, and it would crush the life out of me if I managed to let someone in that far and they cheated. I've thought a lot about it since leaving Misawa, and I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen. I used to be one of those "love like you're never going to get hurt" kind of people, but the last hurt made a lot of stuff in me go cold. I won't say "never," but I'm already making plans to adopt if I'm still single by 30.
I'd write more, but I have a doctor's appointment for a fun close-up inspection of my business.
I bet you're all glad you checked Blurty out today.
