You say it's your birthday
I just realized how fucking pathetic that last post sounded. How very MacArthur Park of me... Really, it's not that bad at all. I'm 23 years old... I really should act my age.
Today is shaping up to be a fine birthday. The Missus just greeted me with an armload of presents. The stroll down candy memory lane is great! Guaranteed to have me writhing in the throws of a sugar crash by noon. Thanks to everyone for your warm B-day wishes. I really appreciate it!
Posted by MJ at August 25, 2003 09:25 AMWOW look at that haul you got! Just staring at the picture for a few minutes has me on a sugar high... and then I started picturing teeth rotting from so much sugar... and then I started picturing dentures... and then I had to shut the picture before I was thinking about setting up my burial account.
I was very excited to see you have "The Life of Pi," which is one of the 5 books I'm reading right now -- can't just read ONE book at a time you know... it's the ADHD in me. Glad you have such a wonderful missus to shower you with gifts!
Have a great birthday! :^)

Posted by: M. Luminous at August 25, 2003 11:18 AMTwo birthday rules you may be forgetting:
1) Birthdays are considered holidays, no matter what day of the week.
2) Sugar, calories, fat and carbs get the day off -- eat everything you want.
Hope your day is wonderful and all your wishes come true!
Posted by: Robyn at August 25, 2003 01:10 PMHappy birthday, MJ! I can just see you mowing the candy while playing The Sims. Have fun!
Posted by: greybird at August 25, 2003 01:33 PMGood God. is there a little candy needle in there so you can just mainline it instead of waiting the three point two seconds for your sugar high to hit?? (I ate an entire box of Hot Tamales the otehr night - and not one of those tiny little corner store boxes but a Target box...they're trageting my thighs right now...) ENJOY! Heh.
Posted by: staz at August 25, 2003 02:50 PMHappy B-day, MJ!! Guess what? You're older than me!!! But, fortunately not as old as Robyn! She's ancient!!
:)
Hope you had a good one~

And BTW -- The DaVinci Code -- excellent. When you're done, pick up Angels & Demons - also by Dan Brown and just as good, if not better, IMO.
Posted by: LA at August 25, 2003 07:24 PMSheesh! Where the hell have I been today? Obviously not where I should have been...shouting HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU at the top of my lungs!!!
I'll make up for it tomorrow. Promise.

Posted by: irish-girl at August 25, 2003 09:24 PMHope you had a good one - and here's my birthday present from me to you...people in China aren't allowed to access your blog. Just thought you might like to know that, ya know, the Chinese government fears and/or loathes you. And really, who could ask for anything more?
Happy birthday!
(PS - There's a stripper in Chicago who wants her birthday back. That is to say, you share a birthday with my sister. Just an FYI.)
