Thanks, guys! Just returned from celebratory margaritas and fajitas and such.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Congratulations bon bon! And javachik, that'll be hellacool, even if you aren't into royalty.
And now for an awkward transition: Ugh, msbelle. I am so sorry. I wish it were easier.
To avoid another one, I think I'll put off my last 5 years for another post. Although for me I think the crucial chunk of time would be the past 10 years.

It is probably a good thing Loki is across the country from me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Am I too late for this? Happy anniversary Zmayhem!
What's changed in your life in the last five years?
In the last five years I:
received the CFA charter
moved continents (moved between them, you understand, not... anyway)
had one last Christmas with my mother
got divorced after 12 years' marriage
moved in with my brother
started online dating
revisited America twice
remarried (in China)
built a new house (or rather paid other people to do it for me)
remarried in China
FAUNAPALOOZA! twice - Phillip Island (penguins!) and Tasmania (echidnas!)
got laid off after 14 years with the one company
created new life.
My 30s have not been dull.

Congratulations on passing the bar, bon bon!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I still feel like a slacker.
Congratulations, bon bon! (I understand that the CA bar is one of the hard ones, too!)
