So this weekend was spent in drunken debauchery at the wedding for TJ and Carla Lackner. Weddings rock for 3 reasons that are immensely important to us starving grad students:
(1) They feed you like crazy
(2) Open bar
(3) Hot bridesmaids =) (combined with 2, and you get hot drunken bridesmaids, which is an even better deal)
Kicking it outside with Amy and Jason and Carly's mom and TJ's best man and it occurs to me that so far, my thirties are turning out to be much cooler than my twenties ever were. For one thing, I seem to be making friends much faster than I ever was able to before, and I find it a lot easier to walk up to random people and just start talking. Or dancing - which is what I did with the bride's mom =)
Or maybe I've just fallen in with people who are completely happy in the here and now and not in the future, and the pattern of my life has fallen is in sync with theirs. I mean by that that most people are always striving or working for something better in the future and never really focus on the present (or if they do they see it as something to be hurried through as quickly as possible), and I'm hanging out with people who are living in the present and not the future.
Or maybe a lot of stuff that has been stirring around in my subconscious for a long time is becoming resolved and I am in a better place than I used to be. I feel like a vintage black and white photograph of an empty rainy park which slowly, bit by bit over time, has been filling with colors until it is blinding to behold.
Or maybe it's just the summer and everything is alive and blooming, and I'm feeling in tune with that. At any rate, I feel young, attractive, strong, feral. and dangerous. It is long past time to start tearing shit up and forge ahead onto untrodden, dangeorus paths!
