So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

My BIRTHDAY
Tuesday. 4.20.10 11:02 pm
Early in my life I always imagined my "older self" as being 14. That "older me" was a lot like the young Indiana Jones (also aged 14 according to my books), having adventures at every corner of the globe and reading National Geographic. Indeed, at age 14 I visited France with my classmates on a school trip. Sure, I wasn't battling esoteric blood-thirsty ancient sects in the Middle East or digging up cursed mummies in Egypt like young Indiana Jones, but it was a start.

After I turned 14 whenever I imagined myself "older", I imagined myself being 26. In my mind when I was 26 I would be walking down a street in New York City wearing large sunglasses, clunky black shoes, and a fashionable black outfit. I'd be carrying several black and white shopping bags, laughing, and looking behind me at what would surely be my hilarious, fashionable girlfriends. I don't know why this was the scene I always imagined... especially since I've never been a huge NYC or shopping person. But it seemed like something grown-up-26-year-old girls would do.

My 26th birthday is tomorrow.

I guess this means that my dream is almost in reach... I can technically go down to NYC whenever I want... I still need a fashionable black outfit... my face isn't quite as round as I imagined it, and my hair is not quite as dark as I had projected, but otherwise I don't think I was too far off.

My birthday is tomorrow!! YAY!!!!


I have a new shirt. Two new shirts... but I can only wear one of them at a time, so I have to pick one. I'm starting the celebration early by doing my math homework and hanging out alone in my lab at 11:30pm!!!

Now I'm going to have to re-cast my net farther into the future... how old will the future me be this time?
10 Comments.


Oh gosh I remember this. When I was six, I wondered if the seven-year old me would still be play with action figures and be afraid of bees. Those were really the only things I thought of haha....oh the age of innocence.

I feel like you and my global warming prof would get along famously. He's a real smart dude and really knows his earth stuff, plus he's pretty awesome and makes references to rap songs and the Maldovan pop band "O-Zone."

Oh gosh. double victory. First to comment on this entry, and also first to

WISH YOU HAPPY BDAY!! I hope your net-casting yields great...fish?

I never really projected myself, at least not that I remember. Hmm. You should go for the infamous 40 years!
» middaymoon on 2010-04-21 07:23:20

Haha. I accidentally skipped a line when reading this and I read "I'd be carrying several black and white fashionable girlfriends"
*WHAT?!?!*
haha. I did a double take and was like "oh, okay"

Happy Birthday!!!

Joyeux anniversaire!

When I was in elementary school my imagination stopped at fifth grade as far as my own age went. I actually still wonder if I'll ever look the way I thought I would, which is to say fat and mean.

It's probably good I didn't grow up according to my expectations...
» randomjunk on 2010-04-21 02:22:22

Happy birthday! :D
I don't think I ever really thought about what my future self would do or look like when I was younger. Not a big dreamer. X/


Maybe your future self will be 35? 40?
