too old for this shit
The other day the Binx mentioned that his wife’s 27th birthday is coming up. When she came into the mix, she replaced me as the oldest of the bunch at the ripe old age of 26. I’m less than a year behind her, Binx and Ennui Prayer are six months behind me, and MD (a nickname I feel is more appropriate than the one the others have given her) a year younger than them. I’m turning 26 in October, and for some unfathomable reason I feel like I’m far older. If I believed in souls, I’d be inclined to say mine is quite a bit older than my body. It’s not even the number that bothers me. I’m not old, and rational me knows that. Irrational me thinks about all of the things I’m too old for, too young for, and all the lost time and suddenly feels ancient. I need to get my shit together.
I got on the treadmill yesterday and jogged for half an hour. I am determined to start exercising regularly again, because when I’m stagnant my mind stagnates as well and and I lose myself. I need to be more active. I sit on my ass all day at work and then go home to sit on my ass some more, and I trick myself into thinking that I have no time to move. I have time, I just waste it. When I got off the treadmill yesterday, I felt rejuvenated and actually did the laundry I’d been putting off for the last few days. Laundry, my nemesis.
I also started doing Blogsvertise ads again. I quit a while back when MySpace started fiddling with the links, causing my tasks to get rejected over and over, but since I do my blogging on WordPress these days I don’t mind cluttering up the old LiveJournal so much. I never did announce my move to WordPress on the old blog. So I grabbed two tasks and did each one immediately in hopes of regaining the kind of influx of tasks I once had. I could use the extra income, and considering that they pay on average $10 for an ad that takes about 10 minutes to write…well, it’s a pretty good deal when you get tasks.
I really need to change the layout on this blog. When the center column isn’t wide enough to accommodate a comic strip, it’s just not wide enough. Plus, I just hate this layout. It reminds me too much of LiveJournal.
EDIT:
Changed the layout. I’m not thrilled with it, but it’ll do.
