It's been a very important year for me and I've changed a lot as a person. I sincerely feel like I've matured so much in the past year, more than any other year, but I still see I have a ways to go. The path feels much more identifiable, though, and I think I'm going about things correctly for once.</p> <p>To celebrate, I got together some friends, and we went to Nihon, a "Japanese whisky lounge". Altogether ten of my friends showed up, many of them from Zurb: Mark Otto and his girlfriend, Aiden and Gianna, Robert, Andres, Ryan, David and Katie, my roommate Megan. It had some great food and drinks, and was expensive, but my friends graciously picked up the tab, much to my distress.</p> <p>It was a real pleasure to have so many of my friends around, and to even realize for the first time how many friends I had here in the Bay. It's amazing, considering how difficult and lonely life was for the first year or so I was here.</p> Sun, 03 Feb 2008 22:29:23 -0800 urn:uuid:79df3a9d-d18f-4dae-a4ed-6fdebbc11650 Joel http://ediblepet.net/articles/2008/02/03/birthday-too life http://ediblepet.net/articles/trackback/271 <p>I want my Winnebego!</p> Thu, 07 Feb 2008 23:48:34 -0800 urn:uuid:d858e246-9b46-42f4-880a-556ecffb1621 http://ediblepet.net/articles/2008/02/03/birthday-too#comment-273 <p>Sounds great.</p> <p>I hope I can be as successful as you so soon out of the gates into real life.</p> Mon, 04 Feb 2008 11:36:25 -0800 urn:uuid:03151d41-c306-4dbd-a846-46d684706b26 http://ediblepet.net/articles/2008/02/03/birthday-too#comment-272
