Woody Allen moments aside...

OMG! I am such a drama queen. I can't believe I freaked out so much about turning 30. I mean I know I am only a few days in...but it's not so bad :-) Phew!

My birthday was a nice chilled day, starting with a very yummy breakfast at Mooch and ending with some yummy dinner with a few cute pressies along the way. All in all, I had a lovely time.

Well now that my birthday panic is over, I intend to make the most of this new decade I am entering...the new boxes I need to tick on forms, the more mature outlook on life (I am sure that will hit me sometime soon). Hmmm - I feel older and wiser already (not!)

Right! I am off to see what trouble I can get myself into - Chester here I come!

Alvy Singer: You know, I don't think I could take a mellow evening because I - I don't respond well to mellow. You know what I mean? I have a tendency to - if I get too mellow, I - I ripen and then rot, you know.

I dream of taking the red pill: maybe then I'll wake up

I have had a fun couple of weeks. I went to the Stonewall Equality Dinner the other week. Lots of champagne, celebrities, a crazy auction and some really great company. I had the best time. Even though I ended up having a 'chundercat' moment at 5am (the champagne was def a contributing factor to this).

I also went to my first band practice with my new band and enjoyed hearing my songs transformed into something more. It was fun. I always forget just how much I enjoy playing music.

I have been doing lots of artwork recently and have been bubbling with cool ideas for a new series of photographs... I will reveal more once I have taken them :-) I do feel quite excited about it though.

I have also been making plans for my 30th birthday. 30! OMG! I still can't believe that I am turning 30. I don't feel any older and I feel there are lots more adventures to be had, so I guess it is all still good...but jeesh! 30 sounds like a damn scary age.
Hmmmm! Stepping away from another 30-life-crisis moment and swiftly moving on...

Well the last weekend of my 20's is nearly over and I am writing this whilst contemplating what it would be like to exist in a Utopian society and if one will ever exist. Is peace really the stuff of science fiction and if it does exist, can utopia really truly exist without anything eventually destroying it?

I have been contemplating things like this a lot recently. Meh! must be my age.

Morpheus: Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?
