and that's nice

my friend anna g. sent me a post card (i'm pretty sure it was miss anna g. because she knew to write my name in all lowercase letters) and it looks like her handy-writing, commemmorating (???) 2.02.2002. and it's basically a picture of someone peeling glue off their hands with the caption "what did you do today?" or "with your day" or something, and then on the back it says "create your own enjoyment".

you know how sometimes you're driving home from work and you're thinking about what you want to be when you grow up (even when you're 28) and you realize that maybe you don't *want* to be a big-time set designer, that maybe you're actually happy doing props and wouldn't it be cool to really make stuff and just be nice and fabulous and have nice friends come to visit you in this nice city and no 28 isn't too old to go to rock shows and yes it's ok that there isn't anyone to tuck you in and yeah, people do freak out about that stuff, i mean 28 is 28 and you're not getting any younger but it also doesn't mean you'll really die alone, i mean, maybe you will so you really should clean your apartment, but just because other people have people and you don't it doesn't make you any less of a person right? so what do you want to be when you grow up? i mean, if you're not going to be a set designer, was grad school a big waste of time?

and you answer yourself, i don't know.....but then you go home and you get this semi-anonymous postcard, and you know that yeah. stuff is stuff and that's ok. because you have an anonymous postcard from someone who obviously knows you. and that's nice. ps: happy 2 year anniversary diaryland! this is the longest relationship i've had with anybody.
