In only three short days, I'll be 23. 23 sounds old. Why? maybe because I surround myself with 10 and 11 year olds on a weekly basis. At work, I'm "young" but at the same time I'm also one of the oldest of the "young people." I used to occasionally occuse Cristy of being "old" and she's only four years older than me. And at the same time, I often forget that Matt's sister is three years older than me because she acts sooo young.
The good news of all of this is that I have a wonderful birthday adventure planned. I don't intend to waste my last birthday as Amy Gallagher by sitting around the house feeling old. I'm going to FINALLY get to see my cousin, Beth, march in a parade and hopefully we'll have some time to just hang out together afterwards before I head out to leave my car at Clare House. From there, Kim & I will surely find ourselves at an Applebee's before we head over to our class. After class, we'll be meeting a bunch of my friends, old and new, for some good old fashioned karaoke. We're going to try to get Sister Annie & Sister Kathy to sing Only the Good Die Young. I'll post later as to whether we were successful or not. I'm also holding out hope that somebody will want to sing We Didn't Start the Fire with me... I'm too chicken to sing it alone but I know all the words... I just need someone to be brave enough to attempt it with me. I'm really excited that a lot of my friends are going to get to meet each other on my birthday. It'll make the wedding so much more fun if they sort of know each other beforehand. I really think that they'll get along well. Can we say "I love David Bowie!"???
