25 years

today i am 25 years old. doesn't really feel any different than being 24 years old. big surprise. i got a nice happy birthday and hug from jared when i arrived at work today. that was nice. and a hug from laura on the street when i saw her.

first birthday since my 18th that i haven't had a significant other to share it with. a little bit lonely. i've thought about john several times today, and wonder if he's thinking about me. i haven't heard from him today, not even a happy birthday email. he sent me a joke email with "the worst analogies" in it, but not a birthday one. last year this time, i was newly engaged, and planning a wedding. if i was still getting married, i'd have less than a month before the big day. as it is, i just feel lonely.

my parents will be arriving any time now. we're scheduled to go out for dinner, then to a play. we'll be seeing the skin of our teeth by thorton wilder. i hope it's good. there didn't seem to be much going on in the way of fine arts entertainment tonight in philly. the philadelphia orchestra has the night off, which is a shame, because they play their summer concerts in the mann center, which is a semi-outdoor theatre (covered, but no walls).

later, gater.
