Small Revelation With a Dash of Nerd

So, my previously mentioned Deep Thought is this: January is typically the worst, most miserable month of the year for me. And as it draws to a close, I realized that this year, I've been crazy-busy, but for the most part, I haven't been unhappy. Sure, there were moments of 'oh noes, drama!' here and there, but...it's life. Things seem to be looking up lately - it's definately a good thing.

And! Julie and I went and bought dice today, because we are nerds. Mine are a pretty iridescent blue, with gold numbers, and ended up being about half-off because someone had put the wrong price sticker on, and the clerk was super-nice and let me have them for the marked price. I also bought a Walkman that we think may actually be older than I am - the copyright on the instructions is 1987 (or, as Yana said, the Walkman is old enough to buy alcohol here in BC). It was $7 from the awesome Salvation Army on West 4th - place had tons of old electronics and housewares, unlike the one back home, which is all clothes. And yes, I did have a purpose in buying a twenty-year-old Walkman, I'm not entirely nuts yet XD;

... oh my god what the fuck 1987 was twenty years ago.

Yes. Apparently I can't do basic math, because I kept thinking 1987 came _after_ 1988 until Yana was like 'This thing could buy alcohol!'

I was born in 1987 too. Maybe the Walkman is my long-lost brother.
