I’ll be 39.

Los Angeles, Calif. (AP) - 500,000 attractive people were hit by cars today throughout greater Los Angeles. They were rushed to hospitals, where they were all released with minor bruises and trendy disheveled hair. “I don’t know what happened,” actor Brad Pitt was quoted as saying. “Jen and I just tripped in front of a car.” Halle Berry, George Clooney and that guy from the Calvin Klein ads could not be reached for comment.

Carrot Top is reported to be uninjured.– **Eve**

Heh heh… umm… oops.

Umm, I’d better go wish her a happy one.

I’ll be 33 on June 18. **Kidcat** will be 1 on the 10th.

And I’ll probably not have a birthday party or anything…so pity me. All attention this year will be on **Kidcat** , which is funny cuz I doubt she’ll ever remember the occasion.

He might… but do we really want to buy him one? I don’t know about that…

I was looking for something kinda ninja-y sounding, so Japanese was a natural language. I don’t even remember what “Ryujin” means, something about dragons, I think. I used some crappy English-Japanese dictionary on the Web. The GM is for “Grand Master”.

Yep… I was definitely talking to you, all right. 🙂

Thanks for the explanation… sounds neat! 🆒 Japanese ninjas and dragons… woohoo!

I don’t know… I’m 21 months older than you, and I **still** don’t feel like I’m grown-up quite yet! (or maybe that’s coz I hang around kids all the time… being young at heart is definitely a good thing, though!)

I, too, turn 21 on the 29th. Please tell me it’s not all downhill from there.

Well, it depends on how you look at it. I turned 24 on the 1st, and here’s my thoughts on my 21st through 24th birthdays:

21st: Yay! I can legally drink! Wait… why the HELL won’t anybody card me anymore?  
22nd: Eh  
23rd: Eh  
24th: I’m starting to feel old, but otherwise… eh (and where to you get off carding me NOW at the ripe old age of 24? Where were you when I was 21 and WANTED to be carded?)

BUT, at the 25th, car insurance rates go down drastically, so I’m actually looking forward to that. I imagine that it’s pretty much all downhill after that though.
