Good-Bye Early 20s

Hello, mid-20s. Sadly enough, I no longer have a shot at being a teenage mother; a young tart; referred to as being in my early-twenties; or a gymnast.

Here's how I spent my last day being 24:
  • Overslept. Instead of getting up at 5:45 a.m., I rolled out of bed at 6:15, yet still managed to make it to work by 7:30. Some dumbass decided to schedule an 8 a.m. meeting, Monday through Friday, indefinitely. Bastard.
  • Spent all day editing text, trying not to fall asleep at my desk.
  • Looked at an engineer's vacation pictures from his trip to the Caribbean last week. I saw a picture of him half-naked. Not really a good look for him.
  • Intended to leave work by 5:30 pm, but left over an hour later. Drove home singing to "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell and "Faith" by George Michael.
  • Stopped at SunFresh and picked up three red potatoes, five slightly green bananas, a gallon of skim milk, and a pint of Eddy's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream.
  • Made an omelette out of eggs, little sausages, and moldy cheese I bought three days ago at Target.
  • Watched Lost wearing nothing but my underwear and an Express tank top.
  • Ate the entire pint of ice cream.
  • Realized I looked like Jennifer Beals in Flashdance, except dressed in all white sans leg warmers. Did the crazy running in place dance where the "Maniac" song plays until I got a cramp in my leg and became lightheaded. I need to save my energy for basketball tomorrow. (Damn it, I have to play basketball on my birthday.)
  • Washed all 1200 dishes that had piled up in my sink.
  • Said "Yay, Sark!" when Sark appeared on Alias. (Colleen, I was thinking of you!)
  • Decided to straighten my hair so that I can be straight-haired Megan tomorrow. Maybe I'll wear a low-cut shirt and a super-tight, super-lowcut shirt tomorrow. Start 25 looking like the hussy that I am.

So...only a few hours of being 24 left. I hate uneven year ages. But I'm thinking I'll go out, get smashed on Friday. What better way to celebrate 25 then celebrating on February 25, 2005? Celebrating 25 on 2-25-2005!! Almost as good as turning 24 on 2-24-2004 last year. Tom, Brett...get your Designated Driver gloves on!
