I am vastly happier at 31 than I was at 21. I was a reckless, shiftless, aimless person at 21. Now I feel a little bit calmer and a lot happier. Less like jumping around all the time, but more content. I like the 30s.

I'm feeling a lot more sick now, so Nick is going to pick me up early. Sadly though, he's coming all the way from Evanston. Owww!

Huh. I wouldn't. What happened when you were 27? Whenever I fantasize about going back to an earlier point in my life, I only imagine it happening with me knowing what I know now. Otherwise, I really don't feel a need to relive it.

Also, are you guys able to remember what it was like "at age 24" without calculating what year it was? I have no idea what I did when I was 24, but if you remind me that it was 2003, everything comes into focus.

most of my memories are pretty vague w/r/t the actual, REAL date in question. like, i remember chasing a coyote with my car through downtown aspen at two in the morning, stoned and sorta drunk, in the middle of a snowstorm, plowing through snowbanks and whatever, but my reference frame is "the winter after I graduated college," not Feb(?). 04, you know?
also, i'm still trapped in a student/ski bum mentality, where my "years" are actually from fall to fall, not jan 1 to dec. 31.

Still slowly working my way out of that, myself.

In other words, you can consider an example as: suppose you are a good cook and are expecting some guests at dinner. You start making dinner; you make few very very very delicious dishes (off-course, those which you already know how to make). And finally, when you are about to finish making the dishes, you ask someone (or you yourself) to check if everything is fine and there is no extra salt/chili/anything, which if is not in balance, can ruin your evening (This is what called 'TESTING').
This procedure you follow in order to make it sure that you do not serve your guests something that is not tasty! Otherwise your collar will go down and you will regret over your failure!
2. Why we go for testing?
Well, while making food, its ok to have something extra, people might understand and eat the things you made and may well appreciate your work. But this isn't the case with Software Project Development. If you fail to deliver a reliable, good and problem free software solution, you fail in your project and probably you may loose your client. This can get even worse!
You don't want your collar to go down WTF
