It’s my birthday today, yay!! I still can’t believe that in one more year, I’ll be an adult, and Crunchy Frog won’t feel bad about hitting on me. Anyway, I’ve got some cool gifts (amazon books, CDs, and The Sims House Party), and tonight my parents and I are going to a play. And it’s not just my big day either. Yeah, Bruce Springsteen turns 52 on this day. And Robert Bloch (one of my fave authors) died on this day, as did Sigmund Freud but that’s a bit morbid… Well, thanks for reading the thread, guys. 🙂 ---

Happy Birthday. Seventeen is a great age. I wish I could remember it. I am old enough to be your Father. What did you think the 57 stood for? Zoggie, Bruce Springsteen, And Booker57 share the same birthday. Isn’t that one of the 7 signs? Party on Zoggie;) ---
