I'm happy to say that I'm going to be turning 27. It's pretty special stuff since
27 is a cubed number (3^3 = 27), and Cubic Birthdays are something to make a big deal out of.
Cubic Birthdays are something experienced so rarely; the last time was 19 years ago when I turned 8 (2^3), and won't experience again for another 37 years,
"when I'm 64" (4^3), and if I'm lucky enough, 61 years
after that will give me 125 (5^3) years.
(Note: Isn't it cool how the difference between each of these cubed numbers is prime?)
I just want to keep this blog entry short and sweet -- this past year at 26 (nothing too special; just a multiple of 13) held so many fun memories, comprised of a few major "firsts:"
- First year contributing to the Horrorthon blog
- First trip out of the country to El Salvador
- First time to the southwest (Albuquerque, NM) -- also my first time traveling alone, with the exception of road trips from the SF Bay Area to Ukiah to visit my parents.
A fun "second:"
- Second year attending San Francisco's Zombie Prom
And a continuation of other things like Yoga, knitting and my career as an educator. Such great things life is made of, folks.

I was proud of this pina I acquired in Suchitoto. |

1 of 2 proms we attended that year -- this was for my school; the second... |

... Zombie Prom! It's gonna be hard to top the KISS zombies. |

One achievement I'm proud of was supporting the 2011 graduates on their trip to Disneyland and Universal Studios (not JUST 'cause I got to go with them...) |

My favorite photo of 2011 -- and it's spectacular coming from my archaic phone. I got the opportunity to participate in the SF Exploratorium's Teacher Institute and got to see this every morning. |
Hi Crystal! I'm stalking your blog! I had no idea you had one of your own. I wanted to see your new avatar so clicked and ended up here. The Exploratorium is one of my all time favorite places.
