My quarter century

[fearmeforiampink]

So, sometime soon, I turn 25. This is mildly terrifying in and of itself. But, as is the custom in the current society, I'd like to celebrate the fact I'm one year closer to death, know a fair few new things, and have forgotten hopefully less things.

However, there are two slight problems. Firstly, I'm in Plymouth, an hour away from most of the people I know well and have spend up to the last half decade hanging out with. Secondly, I suck at organising these sorts of things.

The day in question is the 29th of November. It's a Thursday, so it's probably going to be easier to wait until the Friday or the Saturday to do things.

Anyone got any suggestions for what to do/where to go/who to lynch? It feels like I should do something at least vaugely special, given the quarter century milestone. Then again, that is just another number when you get down to it. I don't know...

I also need to decide what I want to do for Christmas. Chances are the house in Hereford won't be sold by then, but there's not likely to be anyone else there. Visiting Hereford for a bit would be good, as I'd like to see whoever out of my close secondary school friends come back there then, as that's the time when we traditionally have met up most.

But Christmas itself? I'm not sure...

(Sorry for the rambling, and probably not all that uplifting nature of this entry)

Hey - definitely up for meeting up over Christmas incl. Xmas day if that fits in with your plans; I will be back in Horrorford for about a week. I'll get in touch once I've worked out dates.

Vague pub based action? What better way of celebrating the fact you have hopefully fogotten less things by drinking those brain cells away!

Or you could just have a nice meal followed by cinema? Or how about paintballing/lazer tag out in stoke woods? Then some sort of meal action?

Anyway whatever you do dude, have a good one (I will be up visting my mum, so I'll gets you a card/something before I go!)

Hmm, meal followed by either cinema then pub, or just pub sounds fun. Depends what'll be on then...

Sounds good - also Carrie & I will be here at XMas if you want to come over

Haha - like the above person's "Horrorford", would have to agree! I know someone who once got a postcard addressed to "Herefordshite" - that is also accurate! I'm actually hoping to avoid being there for Christmas myself, hopefully I'll know better next week.
And someone freaked me out on my own 25th this August by commenting on it being my quarter of a century!

Heh. I'll admit I've no intention to live in Hereford long term, but there are still people I like to see and there's the easiest place to do so.

The issue here is that I'm currently living alone, much of the people who are nearish (1 hour away) that I know well will likely be heading to their own home towns and families, and I'm just not sure what I'm going to do.
