Almost officially finished with my late mid 20's and into my late late 20's
After that last post, I'm starting to think that that radio show I listened to is right after all. They claimed the current "adolescence" extends into the mid-thirties. I guess this post would validate that since I'll be turning 28 this month. But what's a birthday anyway? A lap around the sun? Tribute to the calendar-makers? Periodicity? I've always been rather apathetic to my own birthday.
Nevertheless, here's the obligatory wish list, although it's really just a holding pen for my shopping impulses. I get more pleasure from choosing stuff than actually getting it. Okay, I posted the link because someone may insist, but I would prefer not to receive presents unless it is stuff you don't mind me leaving behind or giving away. I'm really really anti-object (an object objector?), although I do like books, but I also give those away. Also there is nothing I need, except perhaps the segway.
Better yet if you have money to burn, you could send it to any of the following deserving folks:
Frankly, I'd be thrilled just to get one, real, live, hand-written letter.
Update Having just re-read this post, I realize it sounds a bit odd saying I am going to "leave stuff behind" and "give it away" then posting a link to the DBSA. Just for the sake of clarity, I am not bipolar, but I'm the friend of a bipolar person. The fact that I'm reading Tolstoy's Confession doesn't bolster my argument any, but when I say I'll leave stuff behind, I mean when I go to India or move in Japan or something.
