And I have the day off from work–so I’m lazing about in my pajamas, watching the second season of Futurama and having a long hot shower and getting some writing done. It’s quiet and still outside, threatening rain, and the dog is napping while my brother plays on his computer.
Congratulations and happy birthday! Welcome to the world of bills, fine print, and worry. No, wait, that’s after you leave school.
Ehhh… you’re young. Have fun. Travel. Rent a car and drive through Algonquin Park. Hang out in youth hostels, cafes in far cities, and remote landscapes. Follow dreams. Take trains. See places that are different. Learn languages. Sing. Draw. Pursue love.
The real crap doesn’t kick in until after you turn thirty, anyways.
Thank you so much, everyone! passes out champagne, chocolate kisses, and stray party hats

So we’re almost 11 years apart. I turn 32 later this year.

It’s like wine–you’re 11 years better.

Happy birthday darling. I’m slaving away here at work, studying like a bastard for this job. Blah.

I promise to get drunk and get up to shenanigans in your honour! And I’ll try to hold onto a piece of cake for you. And you, too, Anastaseon, to whom I still owe a lot of grovelling (I’m sorry!).
Sternvogel, I was apparently born during a thunderstorm. And I’m a Cancer–a crab. Way to get cosmically shafted. :smack: Tahssa, don’t do anything I wouldn’t do (which is admittedly not much…)
SiouxChief, I’ve never heard of that, but that sounds brilliant. Happy (early? belated?) birthday to you!
And now, thanks to Sunspace, Vlad/Igor, Khadaji, and Astroboy14, I now have a checklist of things to do. Later, all.
