Ruminations on Two Decades:
Yesterday I turned 20. To tell you the truth it could have been any day. There was nothing earth shattering about discarding my teenager status, although I have noticed a marked interest in the past year in subject s I had never considered to be of much interest (this can be easily illustrated by my relatively newfound obsession with NPR and “All Things Considered”). The only especially different thing was that I held a small little barbeque, and went out with Dahvi and Kelley but regrettably not Claudia who went to Dan and Max’s house because Kelley was not sure that she could get them into her friend’s frat house, Brett’s frat, the Betas.
“One guy I can get in, two guys is a little much,” she said holding a tallboy of Busch light delicately in he hand.
Stephen dropped by during the barbeque, and was as usual extremely humorous and quite civil. He had brought his friend Heather and her small Dalmatian puppy. Heather turned out to be not only beautiful but completely personable and intelligent, a rare find. We discussed some mildly intelligent subjects, architecture, and of course the perennial college singles favorite – sex and relationships.
After playing numerous drinking games at various locations I called DDS, stumbled into bed, and fell asleep in the mountain of soft cool comforters.
