It's MY day!!

Thank you to all for all of the lovely lovely birthday wishes! I'm truly touched! :D

[livejournal.com profile] saintlex & [livejournal.com profile] penchantnyc sent me a lovely card and a lovely new friend, who is now on my keychain! I'm not sure what I'm going to name the piggy, but I'll come up with something. Thank you!!!

My co-workers all surprised me with a little birthday surprise celebration (Krispy Kremes, Entemann's Chocolate Frosted donuts, grapes and a really lovely card!!) They were all teasing me about how I think 24 is so old. Boss T informed me that this morning he was talking to his eight year old daughter about me, and how he was 16 when I was born, and how he was having a hard time wrapping his mind around that. But it was sweet of them to throw it for me, and they got me a nice card.

Plus, I will ask him again for the 10th time to ensure he's serious, but my boss offered that I could leave early today, in honor of my birthday. I asked if it would be possible to take the leaving two hours early he offered and instead arrive late tomorrow, and he said okay. !!!!

Okay, who here has read The Kindly Ones??? I just finished it on the train this morning and asdflk;jasd;ouireklhadfldkj. Furthermore, adjklfaweruihdfkladifgukdhlsadfhjf, and GUH! I might have to go ahead and read The Wake right away, just for some sense of closure. AAAAGH!!

Anyway, today Amy and I are going out for a lovely lunch in about half an hour, so I'd better get cracking. My brain's not exactly working, I think it's all the sugar from the Krispy Kreme glaze, but I'm totally hyper.

Escape is spelled just like escapay. WHEE!

Dazz strikes again!!

Happy bday!

I've been calling him "Disco Piggy" until you could give him a proper name. :)

Thank you!!

Disco piggy? *giggle* I already have a teddy bear I named Fernando. Hmm...have to think this one over.

Name the piggy Gibb after the Gibbs from the 70's - disco piggy, Gibb, get it? HAHHAHAHA!

I had way too much coffee today!

[identity profile] offbalance.livejournal.com 2004-03-11 11:24 am (UTC)(link)
EEE! No, that's a great idea! I thought about naming him Barry or Maurice, but Gibb is a good name! EE!

YAY! Oh, my god, I must be on my game today or something! :) :)

I suck.

Happy happy birthday, darling!

I unfortunately have some bad news - a check I wrote cleared earlier than it was supposed to so I have $17.66 to my name until Monday, therefore I'm unable to meet you for drinks this evening. However, I will purchase you a birthday drink of your choosing the next time I see you (which i hope is soon!).

Thank you!! And no worries, I totally understand!

And yes, it definitely will be soon. We'll set something up! :)

Happy Birthday!!

Have fun and don't worry about feeling old. I think everything after 22 feels over-the-hill.

Wheeee sugar!!

And happy birthday to you.

I'm so amused that you think 24 is so old! What is this? Logan's Run? Speaking of which, am I the only one who thinks that Menudo is the Logan's Run of boybands?

I go now.

[identity profile] offbalance.livejournal.com 2004-03-11 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you!!

Well, I've only been around 24 years. When I've been around longer, I'll have a different opinion of how "old" I am.

Heehee...I remember an MTV special where they were talking about how being an on-air personality is like Logan's Run - Carson Daly and Matt Pinfield were talking about the lights in their hands starting to blink.

Sorry, I've been in my shell lately. Happy birthday!!

That's cool - I've been following along, sounds like things have been uber-busy! :D

and thank you!!!

Happy Birthday!!

It's still March 11th my time! And from a fellow 24-year-old I know what you mean by old. I especially feel old in comparison to my little brother and sister ;)

Oh, and hey, I have a (belated, of course) birthday present for you! I will mail it tomorrow....

[identity profile] offbalance.livejournal.com 2004-03-12 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you!! Yay presents!! I love presents!

I don't know. Presently 24 doesn't feel any different than 23, but it's a bit close to 25 for my liking...
