It's 4:27 am and I'm still at the office when I shouldn't be. Don't ask why. Well, of course I'm here for work but... nevermind. Flasback 24 hours ago... Went to the launching of Jessica Zafra's FLIP. Got drunk on two bottles of red wine thanks to a certain writer, who is also, currently, undergoing a "Oh my God I'm turning 30 this year" crisis! Otherwise known as the " Tick... Tick... BOOM !" syndrome. Got to watch that play last Saturday, thanks to Telly. Watched the play with Brandie, Roach, Grace, RG, Jason, Tina, and of course, Telly. Strangely enough, the play made me "calm down". Made me realize that 30 will pass me by and all that will matter is if I worked on "the work" or not. I think that as long as I get to do and keep on doing what I want... to write stories, then timelines won't matter, because eventually I'll get it done. Finish my story. Get it published. Get it done. Anyway, back...
