no apologies ever need be made; i know you better than you fake it

so for the first time in my life i've been affected by a concert postponement! urgh. and i just got myself excited about it. why did billy corgan have to get sick? it's really not a particularly rockster-ish reason to postpone a gig. i suppose he wanted to put on a good show for his hometown audience, but now that it's on monday of exam week, i'm not sure how enthusiastic i can be.

in seperate news, the creeping up of the 22nd birthday is somewhat distressing. i feel as if when i turn 22, i will have no more excuses. adulthood won't be something i can find difficult to grapple with, it just is. the confusion of the past year has to be swept away. 21 was such a difficult year, and despite having done so many amazing things, i was also constantly being beaten down. if life was ever meant to be a test, then perhaps that was a good preview. but i'm ready for it to be over. i'm really ready for some normalcy.

i am a little apprehensive about the birthday itself. for the first time, it's not falling on a break. having people over on your birthday is always such a scary thing. i've always had the pretext that it's thanksgiving to fall back on, and being home for break is such a good excuse for people to not show up. now, it's going to be between those who actually want to be here, or those who do not. but perhaps that is good. it's nice to have that clarity.
