this time last year i was: downright bummed

last night's buzz did it for me. for some unknown reason,
i was getting the ultimate blues and had to drag my
roomate/drinking bud/rant partner to the nearest booze
joint- not too far from our place and the cheapest stuff
around the mile block. i couldn't figure out what hit me.
ren said it must be my birthday coming up and the baggage
that goes with the age, the status, and all that quarter-life
crisis shit. but then again, it can't be all that bull when i found
myself getting drunk by the third bottle... first time again
with some alcohol in my blood since that one night in, uhm...
anyway, it all boiled down to one thing which i'd rather not
discuss right now due to possible changes in circumstances in the
next twenty-four hours :) the entire night was spent babbling,
coherently and incoherently, bout stuff that happened "this-time-
last-year", "that-time-last-year", and everything in between
which turned our lives around a hundred and eighty degrees,
changed every bit about the way we thought, saw, felt, lived,
and maybe made us into what we are now- women who know better.
i think. nah. that i know for sure :)
