Well, almost anyway. I tend to think of my birthday as the day to set goals and make resolutions, since it’s my own personal New Year. This year I’m considering doing a 52-week photography project. I don’t know if I want to do self-portraits or if I should just take some sort of photo every week. The self-portraits might be interesting. I think it’d force me to be creative in a different way than I’m used to. It’d be easier if I felt more attractive. I don’t feel ugly at all, I just don’t feel like showing myself off, you know what I mean? We’ll see. I may settle on something totally different.

I’ll be 31 (1F in hex!), so there’s no important milestone this year. That’s fine with me because I feel like relaxing. Ever since winter I feel like my life has been GO-GO-GO!! So much of that activity has been purposeless. It’s draining! The 6-day vacation I’m on from work isn’t quite long enough, but it’s better than nothing. It’s not that I enjoy being bored, but it feels like it’s been a loooong time since I’ve felt boredom.

Sometimes you need that feeling to remind you which direction you want move.
