17 October

it is 17th october. you know im very fond of numbers. these many days, weeks, months, years, words. 2 more weeks till i turn 27. i think ive gotten over the freak out abt that. the past few years i spent the weeks preceding my birthday with periodic freak outs abt approaching the quarter century, abt hitting the quarter century, of going past the quarter century. this time around i spent all year freaking out abt entering my late twenties. and now that its approaching, i havent had the time to freak out abt it. ive had bigger issues to freak abt. or maybe i just filled my freak quota for this year.

just got a call from my mom. she is at my khala's and other relatives are there as well and i have been told to go there after work. brilliant. there goes my plans for shopping and getting rid of the 'i have no clothes' crisis. and also the winter approaching crisis was to be averted by therapeutic shopping for dvds (which was going to help deal with my 'one month after' crisis by giving me somehting to watch on tv at home and hence distrating me.) [please see previous posts for reference to all my crises]

ah well back to 17 october. im also very fond of time and dates. its this time of year. its this date. that date is approaching and htat time of year is approaching. its mid october. my birthday is approaching. eid just passed by. winter is almost here. december is coming closer. the year is ending. and for those of you who care abt such things... halloween is coming up!
