Anniversaries

Apartment Girl's post about her blog anniversary got me to thinking about mine as well. In just shy of another two months, my blog will turn three years old.

It's interesting to go back three years. In my first month of blogging, I reported on my fencing performance leading up to and at the Calgary Open, philosophized on spring and prairie dog suicides, and expounded my new appreciation for classical music. I blithely predicted that the following year I would be able to beat Jackie Geller (this past weekend, I saw her get within one point of Brita Goldie, who reigns as the Junior Epee champion in this province, and generally across the country. Brita was injured, but still... Even if I had kept competing, I sincerely doubt I could beat Jackie easily). In the last four weeks, I have reported on my fish tank, knitting, World of Warcraft, and in relatively vague and circular and unclear ways, my current bout with "depression" (don't know what else to call it).

I was also recently reminded that I turn 30 this year. Thirty. Three-Zero. I was asked what kind of big plans I had. I stared at the asker, still trying to comprehend that I was turning thirty this year. It may yet sink in. Stay tuned for any big plans.
