30.
i was thinking i would attempt some profound thoughts about today since it’s, like, the first big birthday where i’ve had half of a brain. but when it came down to it, i tend not to have any timely profound thoughts, so i got nothin’. however, i did discover what my name maybe should’ve been: juanita. it was totally the name of the day. that donovan song about juanita came on my shuffle while i was running and i thought, THAT would’ve been a better spanish name than lame old anita and then i thought about what life would’ve been like for this white girl as juanita. it’s woulda been awesome. then a juanita was in the raymond carver book i’m reading. then i kept making the wrong turn onto juanita lane or road or whatever here in clearwater beach. so i’m starting it all over, as JUANITA. adios abigail. although, abigail does look like a nice name. dang. can i be both of them?
and that is how it always works.
