I officially turn 23 today. Holy crap, do I feel old. I woke up at dawn today to go collect signatures at the polling place to get gay marriage on the ballot in my state. We got a few hundred in just a couple of hours, which is awesome! Probably just going to spend the rest of the day with my boyfriend. In bed. 😃 ---

Happy birthday! When \*I \*was 23, Roosevelt was still in the White House. _Theodore_. ---

Happy Birthday, **Stauderhorse**. It’s so cute when kids complain about feeling old that I could just pinch your cheeks. May your birthday and your petitioning go exactly as you’d like. Happy Birthday to you, too, **tdn.** ---
