i lock the door, another year is gone

me and a friend just realised yesterday that times for being cheerful about your bday are starting to be a bit over... after 2010 i'll stop counting, that's for sure! on the other hand, i'm also a bit happy to get older since every year means learning so many new things, growing wiser, better and taller in lots of ways. thinking back, i would never ever even consider to go back to where and who i was at 17. plus, still a long time to go until we're thirty and actually i should now be worried a bit more about this massive focaccia-dough i prepared earlier and which probably is gone through the roof by now.
