I didn't have a name until I was 5 months old, my mom almost forgot to register me. My name was almost officially 'Baby Sears'

Aw man, and then we could've called you Baby Lamé and it would've been perfect

As today the temperature has slipped above 0 degrees, I am wearing sandals again. I just looked down from my computer to see my foot covered in blood! I must have nicked it on some flaw on my desk or chair.

Bloody blood thinners; and I'm only on aspirin now - I thought when I dropped the clopidogrel (a more aggressive thinner) this sort of nonsense would stop.

Seriously, I'm so glad I'm studying comp. science. This year we've again and again seen the master students at our uni get thrown job offers at continuously. Awesome. I'll just hope the market hasn't died down in four years, but the only concievable way that can happen is if some economic superpower, say the US or China makes another economic bubble because they once again doesn't realize that economic growth based only on lending will cause financial collap...

wait, shit.

My grandfather died about 3 hours ago. He was probably the greatest man I've ever known. He was incredibly generous, a brilliant intellect, funny, charming, and had an irreplaceable gift for storytelling. He grew up during the depression in New Orleans, got himself into business, was a naval captain in WW2, and spent the rest of his life making phenomenally good decisions, raising and providing for his family. I owe literally everything that I have to this man; my education, my family, my name. I'll never be able to repay that debt, and I'll never hear a story told the same way again. I pretty much just regret not paying rapt attention to every single word this man spoke in my presence. R.I.P. Grampie.

i've only been 23 about four months now but yeah i guess i'd also say this is maybe the best year of my life so far. 23's pretty awesome.

If 23 is better than 22 I seriously can't wait. To be fair, 21 was pretty great too!

David_Dovey · « **Reply #2122 on:** 11 Dec 2010, 09:31 »

Well yeah, you've probably got something to worry about if you are in yr early 20s and yr life isn't getting progressively better, year after year. Shit should start going downhill far later than that.

Dazed · « **Reply #2123 on:** 11 Dec 2010, 09:49 »

I hope 23 is better than 22. 22 Has been okay thus far, but just okay, after 21 was pretty awesome

Man I have some orange ganache filling made up for piping into chocolates right now but man, it is difficult to not just spread this shit on cookies and eat it.

I mean we are talking butter, milk chocolate, orange liqueur, and orange juice concentrate here. It is pretty good stuff to eat spoonfuls of.

I just went to my girlfriend's family's christmas get together, and there was food and drink and silly games, and although I was so painfully nervous about the whole thing, it actually ended up being alright. There were a few members of the family I hadn't met before, but not many, and I had a great laugh messing around with the kids, as well as chatting with the adults. Also her cousin's boyfriend is hilarious, and we had a good laugh being the only non-relatives there. Basically, I'm really excited to be a part of her family.

In the year I turned 23, there was both an album and a film released both bearing the name 23. Admittedly I never saw the film and the album was fairly average but it was still weird.

25 has definitely been my best year. I think it is because I actually had a proper birthday party for it, and I never had one of those before.

22 was good. 23 sucked. 24 has been much better.

SonofZ3 · « **Reply #2132 on:** 11 Dec 2010, 15:15 »

25 has been good to me so far. Moved in with my fiance, did a lot of great fishing, made some new friends, and started hunting again, which has provided a good ammount of relatively cheap, very healthy meat. That is good because my job is only 8 months a year and the fiance is going to school full time. Cheap food is a big help. The downside is that my financial situation is a lot more tenuous than I would like.

i got REALLY delirious and giddy reading this and then realized very suddenly that the reason i have never been into dirty talk in relationships is probably because this is actually the kind of thing i have always wanted boys to say to me

I'm seriously considering international adoption.

I didn't see this for ages because I got way behind on the blog thread, as you do. It sounds like you have got all the right intentions for bein' a good parent. So I thought I would scare you by giving you some links on ways that international and local adoption can go super badly or be kind of fucked up in its processes, so you are prepared for worst case scenarios, because if you can read these and be like, "Yikes, sounds hard, but I think I can give it my all anyway", then you are probably ready for some adopting. They're written pretty angrily, so apologies for the tone, though it's understandable.

Blog thread, bluuuuh, why does no one want to hire me over the Christmas holidays? I need money to be able to do this moving-out thing, and the job at uni is not going to give me enough of that.

I am 24! 21 to 22 was pretty good, 23 just kind of went by, hoping for good things from 24. Fucckkkk, just realized that I will be thinking of things to do before I'm 30 instead of things to do before I'm 25. That's a shift!

I have been making pasta sauce and meatballs and baguettes and chocolates all day at home and I was not wearing shoes and my floor is hard tile and man my feet are sore now.

I just got an email from futureme.org. That I wrote on June 21, 2009, which wasn't actually very that long ago. But my only real reaction was just, "what the hell is this i suck"

I guess not much has really changed though because

I've been 23 since July and it's been pretty decent. 22 I think was better but there's stil another 8ish months til 24 so plenty of time to remedy that. Only time will tell!

Blog thread,

today I picked up a bunch of groceries and am making superhero chilli. It's been simmering for a few hours already and will simmer for a few more before I eat it! I'm using the recipe posted in the Pointless thread about 6 months ago. It was awesome last time I made it.

Tonight was kind of nice. I read a bunch and hung out at home. Drank beer and talked with one of my roommates. But this cute girl who was supposed to call never called which is kind of dumb. But oh well!

Tomorrow I have to think about starting to study again, which sucks because I'm really not in the mood to think about school any more at all. But I guess it'll be Christmas before too too long and both the exams I have left should be relatively straightforward.

22 has been pretty good I think! I've only been doing it for 4 months and of those, 3 have been rad and one has been pretty gloomy. I turned 22 here in Japan. This year I have gotten fairly fit and improved my kendo a lot (i hope), learned japanese semi decently and made a few good friends. On the downside there is gurl drama of absurd dimensions but I'll get overthat.
