*midnight madness*
where did this term come from? it just came to me, and it think it was a thing we used to do at this camp i worked at the summer '99 (i'm just a bit younger than bryan adams...) - camp qwanoes. during any given night, the unsuspecting campers could be woken up with a loud horn... we would drag all the sleepy heads from their cozy sleeping bags in the traditional log cabins, across the dewy field, into the main building for a spontaeous party in the middle of the night. it was midnight madness.
but i digress.
in my old age (yes for those who are keeping track, i am now officially less than one year from the big bad 30), i have a new found joy i want to share with you all, in the wee hours of the night: that is, the joy of being able to tap away on my lovely ibook IN BED. i've finally managed to arrange all the wires so that it reaches to my bed. no more sitting hunch on the floor with my knees all bent, no siree. unfortunately, i do not yet have the luxury of going wireless with an airport... but i can always pray right? i mean, derek did and he got his 30gb ipod from his ex-boss. man, don't i wish i had a wealthy (or maybe just corrupt) boss sometimes...
it's funny how age just doesn't seem to touch me. since turning 29 last week, you would think something would feel different. maybe that special feeling is only reserved for next year (or rather later this year... eeks). and in case anyone who hasn't seen me for a few years was wondering, i still look about 21. and to be honest i sometimes don't feel much older than 21. ed ng and i were just marvelling at that thought awhile back. we have known each other for over 18 years now, and that realization alone sent me into shock, but neither of us really feel that old.
granted, there have been times when i feel old in my soul - when i just feel worn out. there have been times when i feel like i've seen enough and been through enough to call it quits... but apparently mr.God has other plans.
so, i look forward to 2004 and all the challenges it's going to bring, even turning 30. especially turning 30. i have life in me still.
