"A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or the others crazy?"

NYSE at Christmas time.

"United we stand, divided we fall."

I love this. The chaos is so familiar.

"Love is complicated, but math is beautiful."

I have

only 1h 14 left of being a teenager. My youth is rapidly diminishing! This reminds me of Her First Ball, the Katherine Mansfield short story, in which Leila laments that her first ball is really "the beginning of her last". I guess that's how I feel: one minute you're happily misspending your youth, and the next minute your age starts with a 2. Goodness.

Things to do on birthday:

-get up early to take the Mercedes to be serviced;

-close the bank account for which my bank arbitrarily decided to start charging me fees without telling me;

-lunch in Newmarket;

-dinner in Parnell; and,

-cake! I saw my mother and sister making it earlier today. It looks amazing!
