Happy birthday. 24 is nice, still young enough to imagine that anything is possible. Set some goals to hit by 30...

Speaking of ridiculous mail, I asked my professional association to not send me their thick magazine which I never read. They sent me this email (just an excerpt):

"We are unable to cancel delivery of the magazine. It is not a subscription; it is part and parcel of your membership in the College, just like your membership card or your listing on the College’s public register of members. We can’t remove you from the mailing list for the magazine because the mailing list is our register of members in good standing."

24 is garbage. Human refuse.

WELL the 2nd day of being 24 I got a letter from my estranged ex who would have had to have paid a private investigator to get my info so like there's that :)))))

Yeah, 24 was a hard year for me too. I would say that my life really turned a page around 26 and 27 was a banner year. I can say with some certainty that with very few exceptions every year has been better than the last since 26.

Oh wait, were you referring to the TV show "24?" Cause in that case, yes... refuse.

In the immortal words of Blink-182 'Nobody likes you when you're 23.'

My birthday is in a few weeks, I haven't looked forward to one so much since 21.

I guess it's time to start trouble to lose your good standing lil ;) How about a couple thoughtful graffiti all over campus?

My standing has always been kinda borderline. The College is the Ontario College of Teachers. I read their letter with incredulity.
