Well, it's finally here. My 26th birthday. Sounds odd. Feels odd. Actually, doesn't feel any different, but it is rather weird to think that I am getting older every year. I still feel ike I do when I was 21. My birthday had a great start last night when Joey came with Amy to see the show. We were quite close friends when he was in high school, and as is the norm, when he graduated, we just floated apart even tho we occasionally kept in contact. He was one of the first batch of kids that I helped train and foster their theatrical talent so he has a special place in my life and heart. Ever since he was 15 he has never forgotten my birthday and has made it a point to call me. He brought me a present last night which TOTALLY floored me because I just was not expecting it. I wasn't going to open it until today but curioisty got the best of me. I think it is quite possibly the greatest birthday present I have ever gotten, or at the very least one of. He gave me the very first picture that the two of us took together when he was 15 and I was 20 and put it in a frame. That just meant more to me than anything else he could buy, as did what he wrote in his card to me. It brought back such a huge flood of memories and good feelings. He came out with the cast afterwards and it was great just sitting there and reminiscing. I do miss him terribly, but his being there made me realize even more how lucky I am to have certain people in my life and how folish I am to waste my time of the petty ignorant ones who simply won't matter when time's test comes around. Those who don;t know me for me, those who don't understand, those who are easily swayed by others into thinking things that aren;t true, and those who don;'t appreciate what I do and take advantage of my selfless kindess. The simple things in life sometimes are enough.
