PICS
thank you for all the birthday wishes. i am now 25 and it feels exactly the same as 24, except that my bank account now costs me $7 per month, as if i have any more money now that i am 25. in fact, i have much less money than i did when i was 21 and 22, when i worked full-time in an office making websites.
my girlfriend made me these beautiful rainbow pancakes and left them warming in the oven for me when she went to work on the morning of my birthday.
later that day, for the first time in my life, even though it happens every year on my birthday, i saw the perseid meteor shower.
on friday i celebrated my birthday with friends and ate a rainbow cake, also made by my lovely girlfriend. oh, i love rainbows!
the icing was nut butter and walnuts... it looked gross but tasted absolutely delicious.
this is approximately how drunk i got on my birthday party day:
whew... rosy. then, over the weekend, we celebrated nine months of love together, which involved a trip to bowen island.
all-in-all it was a delightful weekend and i'm afraid i now have almost 200 unread emails in my inbox. *sigh* so overwhelming. does anyone else have trouble with those types of obligations? after five days offline i'm afraid even to check facebook. i sometimes have nightmares about how many things i have to do that i haven't done.
what does that say? oh... vegetarianism? right! another HUGE part of my life is my dedication to an ethical vegan lifestyle. that usually takes the form of trying to help other people choose better foods and food sources in their own lives as often as possible. so, if you live in vancouver, here are some places to get vegan pizza. yum.

oh goodness, Mal.....it's easy to miss birthdays, I do it all the time. and I didn't post a birthday journal, so it's mainly my fault anyways. but thanks for the birthday wishes! I began my birthday doing a vintage pinup shoot for a girl from Saskatoon (only day she could come down to Regina), and finished it off by enjoying a bottle of wine and a movie....very low key, but that's how I like it.

What's that thing about your bank account fees? That is so stupid. I can't see the logic behind it. So basically, you're supposed to take a definite step up at 25, moneywise. Apparently, you're 25 and your boss will come up to you and tell you that you really deserved that sudden raise out of nowhere. That's sure how it happens usually.
Sorry, just a little morning rant I guess. It's just the kind of thing that I find so absurd, it gets me cranked up easily.
Glad your lady treated you right on that day.
