I’m practically 50…

by freeandflawed on July 14, 2009

In 25 years I’ve…

Learned that one giant bowl of alcohol is enough.
Pierced my nose twice.
Had my heart broken three times.
Made four vlogs.
Learned that after five shots I can still stand.
Been to six colleges.
Believed my cat Seven is part sea lion.
Made the Peyton Manning face eight times.
Sported a ridiculous perm for nine embarrassing months.
Figured out I was destined to live a life of awesomeness at age ten.
Cursed at Rex Grossman no less than eleven times during any game.
Spent twelve years at a Catholic school.
Found that thirteen is actually a lucky number.
Said “Super Fuck Yeah” at least fourteen times.
Wished on fifteen stars.
Made sixteen moves.
Lost a loved one at seventeen.
Rearranged my room at least eighteen times.
Traveled through nineteen states.
Dyed my hair twenty times (probably more.)
Waited twenty-one years before visiting the top of the Sears Tower.
Talked my dad into getting a piercing at twenty-two.
Turned twenty-three in Boston, MA.
Celebrated twenty-four with brilliant bloggers.

Tomorrow I will officially be twenty-five.

I cannot think of a better way to kick off 25 than with some awesome bloggers and another trip out to LA. I’m going to be gone for the next week and I’m returning just in time for BlogHer. I’ve lined up some really incredible bloggers to keep you entertained. Starting us off tomorrow (since it’s my birthday!) is my mom (aww!) I hope you tune in!

You are awesome. I think I’m going to have to steal this idea when I turn 25 next week.

What a brilliant poem/post! It makes me wonder what mine would be. I’ll be 24 next month, but I think I’ll wait until I turn 25 to do my own version. Though I should probably start now since it might take that long to think of how to write mine!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENN! Such a nice list of accomplishments and amazing experience. You’re so right when saying a bowl of alcohol is never enough, and totally beat me up in resistance since 5 shots of alcohol will make me act funny for sure.

Have a great week!

When I stole this from you last year – and definitely did so again this year – I had no clue our birthdays were the same day.

Happy Birthday!
