<blab>Have I mentioned that I will soon be 27? Because that is freaking me way-the-hell-out the more I think about it. I was running past a high school today and there were all these high school kids running track. I was running. They were running. I am seriously not in high school any more. I don’t think I look like I’m – gak! – a grown-up. Did I tell you I was recently mistaken (albeit by a moron) for a college freshman? But I also know that in the end and down deep I am quickly becoming o l d … I don’t think I like it. The alternative sucks, to be sure, but I wish it didn’t have to happen so damn quickly.</blab>
