yeah well, it's the first of many birthdays that mean nothing other than getting older. so that's kind of a bummer. come to irc and slap me about, all you not at work. or with lax bosses.
Seriously though I would never go back to being any age other than what I am. My 20's were better than my teens and my 30's better than my 20's. So far my 40's seem to be following the trend.
I'm going to bed too. I would have went a couple hours ago, but something I ate disagreed with me and I have been making frequent trips to the bathroom. I know you wanted to know this.
Also that happy birthday thing. Every birthday from now on is meaningless! Well maybe 30 isn't, but I still like a couple years to see. I bet it is meaningless too. You should go to bed, when you get up tomorrow you can eat some cheese.
On preview, yeah. I'm only a few years ahead of you and look at me. You just wait, it's all downhill after 22.
Old?! I've got shirts older than you. Some of 'em still fit, too.
Happy birthday anyway. I'd join you in IRC, but we proved earlier this week that that's just too complicated for my semi-fossilized brain to manipulate.
If I could go back in time and tell my 22 year old self anything, I would say this: Your body is the best it's ever going to look. When you're 34 and have had a kid, you will long to have that body again. So be naked as often as possible.
*Runs off sobbing, missing days of 22 year old hotness*
