On my 21st birthday, there was no Vegas trip, no stomach pumping twenty one drinks. I spent it quietly on a double date with my bff. She was dating a new guy who was pleasant, funny, and a nose picker. We went to a club in West Hollywood where he spent the entire night excavating. We would be in the middle of a conversation when suddenly he'd raise his right index finger and shove it up his nose. It was the most awkward stop in conversation yet he did it with a natural cadence that revealed expertise and experience.
Don't feel sorry that I spent a milestone birthday watching a stranger dig for gold. I was going through a stage where I was more consumed with studying around the clock to achieve a 4.0 GPA than experiencing the golden years of my youth. So the realization that the most interesting part of my 21st birthday was anticipating when this guy was going to shove his finger up his nose, I snapped out of my dull trance and made a promise that from here on out, every birthday was going to be bright, shiny, and golden.
To shield your eyes from your bright future, I'm giving away a pair of Cynthia Rowley gunmental aviators on Day 5 of my Birthday Giveaways! Enjoy and never stop looking (not digging) for gold!
