happy birthday, bommie.

today is my sister's birthday. she turns 16. i can't believe she'll be driving. i'm a good eight years older than her, so i was old enough to remember her being born. man. it's cool to see that she's grown up in my disfunctional family and seems to be psychologically "normal". one of the things that sucks about having gone to school in new hampshire and the fact that i'm in new york now, is that i wasn't (and am not) around to see her really grow up. i mean, i think i've learned pretty well how to deal with our parents... i think i have plenty of good advice and wisdom to impart... i'm sure i can help her rock high school. why am i in new york?
