Steve Jobs Owes Me an A+!
I wanted to post my New Year’s post in the bridge between New Year’s Day and my birthday (which is tomorrow). Having my birthday closely follow the new year is pretty cool, because I feel like I celebrate everyone else’s new year on the first and then get to ring in my own personal new year on the fourth. Anyway, I poured my heart and soul into the post because it’s one that I’ve been thinking about for quite a while. I was so immersed in it, I actually broke a sweat; I was writing for three hours. I then made a huge rookie mistake: clicked Save without first copying and pasting my work into an offline doc, without first at least checking that I was still connected to the Internet. So, poof! A post about the cat snoozing in a waffle box, I back up. My heart and soul, I carelessly toss into Purgatory. I experienced an intense flare of temper, fanned my temper with its own impotence, and cursed Steve Jobs for THIS bloody nonsense that has been driving mad–MAD!–these past few weeks and which now feels personal and I hate it.
Anyway, I’m going to rewrite the damn post because it’s important to me. I hope I can bring it back to life. Certainly, if the Great Lost Term Paper Debacle of 1996 has taught me anything it’s that sometimes a whole new draft is even better the second time around AND, against all odds, I might even get the highest mark in the class. So, if my New Year’s post seems a little belated, it’s only appropriately so, since my new year doesn’t start until the fifth.
And tomorrow I’ll be twenty…SIX. Twenty-six! For the sixth time.

You’re taking it personally? Then I guess the look you gave me was because I looked like Steve Jobs?
Maybe it’s time I lose the black turtlenecks.
But I love the black turtlenecks.

I don’t know how, but I’m certain this is some kind of tactic to butter me up/guilt me into buying you an iPhone.
Happy birthday, Jeci!! I hope it’s a wonderful one. I’m turning 26 for the (mumble mumble) time in March. Ah, 26. It’s a good age to be.
26! You youngster! I’ll be 39 next weekend. So. Very. Very. Old. Am. I.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
your blog is very nice !
