  • Entry 016: Twenty Five Going Solo

    So I've reach this milestone in life. It's my first where I've actually felt so independent. A little lonely yes. A little indifferent about the celebrations. I no longer feel it's a big deal, and don't really want people to make a big deal about it. But in another sense I really appreciate it when I get the phone call from my sister, my mom, from Yukino. And the office did something real nice for me too. Cookies and chitchat in the break room. The rest of the family here held a real nice barbeque for me last weekend. Haruka, Seta, their daughter, my aunts, counsins, granduncle, grandaun, and uncle J2. Tried oysters on the grill from the first time. Wonderful stuff when you add a touch of tabasco sauce, lemon and pepper.

    But on the actual night of, I spent some quality time for myself.

    Ah...

    A peaceful birthday.
