Don't Bring Around a Cloud to Rain on My Parade!

Today I am 25 years old. To celebrate, Edy surprised me with tickets to see Coldplay last night at the Crystal Palace. Interpol opened which was a great bonus; I tried to let Alex listen to "Slow Hands," our favorite Interpol song, via very-long-distance cell phone to rub it in. The only downside to all the birthday festivities was the thunder and lightning...the Crystal Palace is an open-air venue, so we were standing in the deluge with 40,000 other people. Points to Edy who stood there even though he hates Coldplay.

I am in the midst of packing, and my time in London is fast coming to an end, which is bittersweet. I am so excited to start "adult" life away from school, sad to leave my London friends and Edy, scared about what the future holds, but ready to handle whatever comes my way. If I could find a picture of Barbra singing "Don't Rain on My Parade" on the tugboat (you all know what I'm tawking about) from Funny Girl here, I would, because it's definitely how I'm feeling...I'm a little rushed, a little disorganized, but ready to go, ready to face new challenges...
