I love talking to my friend Kelly, because she always, without fail, says, "This has been a really intense week for me. I've gone through a lot of change and personal growth." I laugh at her every time, because it seems ludicrous that every week should be momentous and full of change. But as I reflect on 25 and consider my options for internal crisis, I realize that my life has been quite like Kelly's. Like beads on a chain, or waves pulsing in a river, the adventures of these years have helped me to grow and change constantly, (a constant bumping, chattering, haltering, crashing...) from the boy I hardly remember being, into a young man that I feel quite comfortable being.
Today at work, (whoa, I have a REAL job? I MUST be 25!) we took a personality test and I was informed that this is me:
Boy oh boy, this guy with multiple faces, who seems to be dropping all of his things?? This is me? I don't know if this guy is 25. Or if this guy could have a REAL job. "Acquisitive"? "Scattered"?

i think you should focus on the "fun loving", "spontaneous", and "versatile". I mean come on, you're the enthusiast, not the pessimist. Did we have a conversation once about 24 not being round? I can see 24 as round. It would be round in a base 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 system. that rounds it much nicer than 25 which would only work in a base 5. I see your point! :)
