Suppose I could have made it something along the lines of "IT'S MY FREAKING BIRTHDAY!1!!!one!!!" but I felt the date itself would suffice.
As I had planned before I was going to start up with my daily posts once my 25th birthday rolled around. So here I go! As of right now I'm not doing any sort of 25 things to do while 25 but I still might do something along those lines.
24 was a good year but it definitely had it's bad moments. To put my year into a nut shell I will give some incredibly vague descriptors of negative and positive experiences throughout my 24th year.
Negatives: Breaking up, random depressive anxiety attacks, feeling alone, strong dislike for my workplace, lack of funds
Positives: Breaking up, finding the courage and strength to make bold choices, buying a house, dating my current boyfriend, realizing I don't really have it all that bad, comfort in family, rescuing a dog who is 'special' to say the least, learning how to make cinnamon roll waffles, working on White Christmas, tweeted back by Neil Gaiman
Well some of them aren't all that vague, and I'm sure there are more positives and negatives to add but can't think of them right now.
When I think back on that year of life I really don't want to focus on the negatives. They were a big part of the choices I made but I definitely prefer to remember the positives in life.
I think you should do the same. Just an idea.

Now for what I actually did today!
I spent the day lazing about with Chad. We watched My Neighbor Totoro and he decorated a store bought cake for me with some of the fasting burning candles on the planet.
I decided to wear one of the shirts Chad bought me for my birthday today as well. (He let me open my presents the day before)
I love this shirt. I remember when I first saw it online and how much I laughed at how brilliant it is. The fact he remembered I liked it was awesome. (If you don't get it then you probably haven't seen Dragon Ball Z. Here is a little video link to see the Fusion in action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0uQor_juqE&feature=related )He got me another shirt and My Neighbor Totoro was actually a birthday present from him as well. I'm fairly certain the mustache wallet he gave me last week was also apart of my birthday presents too. (I think he was afraid I would buy one...and I almost did) I'm sure I'll get a picture of the other shirt and wallet at some point.
Today was also the solar eclipse happening. Minnesota was only cool enough for a partial eclipse but I'm just glad I managed to see it. I was so worried that I was not going to be able to see it because when I woke up earlier in the day it was very cloudy out and I was almost certain it would not clear up by the time the eclipse was going to happen. (Chad can vouch for my whining and 'crying' about it)
After the eclipse I enjoyed a good laugh at The Pirates! A Band of Misfits with Chad. I seriously recommend it. Those kind of movies are always for a good laugh and totally not just for kids.
I think it may be time for bed after my rousing weekend of fun. Charli and I say bring on another year of life!
I look slightly terrified while Charli is clearly unimpressed.
Such is life.
Good night!
