My birthday

Wed Jul 13, 2005 09:45 (UTC -5)

On this day in 1989, I was born.

You know, I usually say that I don’t care much about my birthday, but it’s actually kind of nice that people care about you for a day. I think everybody should celebrate their birthday. Those who don’t will have no suitable outlet for their egos.

I’d like to take this opportunity to wish my “evil twin” Eric a happy birthday as well.

How will I spend my birthday? I’m going to my grandmother’s house for dinner, where we’ll have roast beef — mmm, my favorite* — among other things.

So, I’m actually 16. Sixteen years old. That means if I had gotten my learner’s permit a year ago, I could get my driver’s license now. I could. If I had. But you know what? I don’t want or need to drive car. Not at this point. I have nowhere to go. There’s no point in wasting my time. So what if all my friends can drive? I could always take the bus, maybe*. At the very least, I need to get some form of ID. That way people will know I exist and that I’m not an alien from outer space or something.

I’m 16, and I’ve never been on a freaking date. People enter a state of awe if they can pry this fact out of me, making me all sorts of promises that “someone will come along.” I don’t know why they’re so surprised. Surely with my charm*, money*, wit, and chin*, someone should at the least find me more than just “a nice guy.” But you know what? I don’t want or… wait, that doesn’t work. I need it.

Well, that’s enough self-deprecating for one day. I’m outta here.

There is no definative proof that you’re not an alien…

I found your site by chance (looking for stuff!) I live in the UK. I am very impressed – very – that a kid your age is so literate. (And entertaining.) Congratulations.
