Herah! Haven't seen you around these parts for a while!
I got a new battery for my iBook and then succumbed to temptation and bought Sims2... so that will take care of my spare time for a while, I think. It's so damn cute!
Cacophony. That's pretty. What's it mean?

I don't want to be Superman. I want to stay little and be next to Mommy.
I lurk. I don't have time to post. Actually, at this moment I am avoiding working on a PerplexCity puzzle, which I was doing to avoid doing anything useful. And I have to get up in 6.5 hours, so I really shouldn't be doing any of it. But I'm determined not to go to sleep before the kids do.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It's still light out, but I want to go to sleep now.
Weird.

I liked turning 30, but it was during an extremely difficult time in my life. 31 was kind of a bummer too. I'm hoping 32 is extraspecialfun.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
My Sopranos finale guests have left. After much effort, still have not installed the a/c support, but I have stripped the threads on the phillips head screw that is supposed to support the a/c. This should be interesting.

And my dad got the nail polish last time, too. He's like the ideal Christine Lavin audience member.
I think I love your dad, Jesse. In the best possible way. Kind of like I love mine. Although, I gotta say that I don't think mine would be an ideal Christine Lavin audience member.

Herah, that story cracks me up.
At 30, I had just fallen in love, and was still in the giddy phase. Sot it was a good birthday. But what I think about most is that I was unmarried, childless, and both my parents were still alive. It feels like I did all my growing up in my 30s.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
My 30th birthday was... interesting. My mom was visiting, there was a wonderful party thrown for me, and Angela Basset wished me a happy birthday. On the other hand, the cracks in my marriage were really starting to show, and I wasn't talking to one of my closest friends because she wasn't talking to my husband.
The actual year of 30? There are days when I feel like I've been living at Warp 11 for 9 out of the 10.5 months I've been 30. I have no idea what the rest of it holds, but I think 31 might just be a relief.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I left town when I turned 30. But had a lovely birthday in Ashland at the Shakespeare fest with my then girlfriend eventually-to-be Emmett's Mom.
My relationship with her dominated my 30s, and that didn't turn out so well. But I got an Emmett out of it. I had way more fun in my 20s, and my 40s have been far more productive but also much more stressful.
I cruised through the first half of my thirties. The second half was Parenting and then Divorce.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My 30th was spent in an absolute dive of a bar in Detroit's Cass corridor. One of the actors in the theatre company shared the same birthday (he was turning 30, too) so the whole company just took over the back room of this bar. We brought in our own music, scared away a few regulars (I think it was the boas and tiaras) and had a great time.
I don't think I've even celebrated a birthday since then beyond buying myself some ice cream on the way home from work.
