Happy birthday. While you are registering to vote, don’t forget to register with the Selective Service System, too. You can enter your application on-line. [http://www.sss.gov/default.htm](http://www.sss.gov/default.htm) ---

Thanks for the reminders, all. I already pre-registered for the selective service so that is taken care of, and I am gonna register to vote as soon as possible. So much excitement! Not only do I move into my dorm room next week, but I am 2 posts away from hitting 500. ---

I am now 18 and a day, and I am feeling pretty darn good. I decided that Mirrored Indigo Shadow’s suggestion was good enough to act upon, so definately have a good birthday. In conclusion, **this is my 500th post**! Yeah baby!
