Held a dual celebration yesterday-for my birthday, and for getting called 2 weeks ago.
Got a table at a Uki/Russian/Polish banquet hall. Had about 20 friends come out- roughly half of them my Uki friends, the other half my mostly Polish-speaking friends from school/soccer team- 2 halves of my life, so to speak.
Everyone had a blast. People got along, despite my initial fears of some awkwardness. A few of my friends got a bit too drunk and insisted I do my best mountain goat impression in the middle of the dancefloor all night long (I'm a terrible dancer, so majority of the time I just jump a lot). We were also the youngest of the 6 or so groups that were having their festivities there, so we totally dominated the place with our energy.
Due to all the aforementioned jumping I was sweating buckets, meaning I was mostly sober throughout the night and able to be a decent, alert host.
Woke up this morning feeling genuinely refreshed, brimming with energy and positivity. For the first time since the stuffy, official ceremonies, and accepting congrats from family and co-workers, I actually feel the enormous weight of the past 10 years off my shoulders. And knowing I have so many great people behind me is a huge part of that. It just... feels genuinely good to be alive.
The problem with the gene pool is that there's no lifeguard
