Dear Adulthood,
Hi. My name is Jillian. We met briefly when I turned 18, but haven’t had much contact since. I’ve heard a lot about you, and not all of it good. Some people say you suck the fun out of everything and require people to be serious all the time, but I’m sure that’s just gossip. Surely you can’t be all bad. I mean it’s because of you I got to vote and buy my first pack of cigarettes. And later, when I turned 21, I’m told it’s you that made it OK for me to finally buy alcohol. This was good because I was tired of getting people to buy booze for me. So thanks for that.
The rest of my letter...
Hey everybody! Welcome to my new site. Go ahead, have a look around… I’m in no hurry.

Every now and then I mention my mom. Sometimes I speak of her in comments on other blogs or sometimes in the posts written here. You all know we were close, so close I considered her my best friend.

I should call her… And of course right after that is: “Fuck, I’m broke. I wish mom were still here, she’d loan us some dough…

I’ve been tagged with a few memes (does anyone know how to pronounce this?) and I thought I would do one of them now. Yay, right?….. right?
OK.
I’m going to make it a rule not to tag anyone. If I do a meme and you like it and would like to do it as well, by all means do it and let me know so I can read it!
I’m not doing these in any particular order. OK, there is a particular order, but it only makes sense to me.

It’s your lucky day today! Why you ask? Because it’s picture day! I was going through an old photo album and found some pictures I think I won’t regret sharing.
I think.
The following pictures deserve an introduction.
First off, I have no idea how old I am in these photos. I do know these were taken before my mom and I left for my birthday party at Straw Hat Pizza. Has anyone heard of this place? Out here at least, they are out of business. I remember the pizza being awesome, but then I also thought what I wore in the following pictures was awesome. Whatever, I never claimed to be reliable.
