Iapos;ve recently learned that October 19 is National Evaluate Your�Life Day. Which is perfect for me, because tomorrow marks my quarterlife birthday. (Yay synchronicity.*)
Hereapos;s the thing. Iapos;m terrible at giving out birthday well-wishes online, because any time I see a thread or an entry or comments page brimming with the same two words over and over again,�I just think, Well, whatapos;s my voice added to the chorus?�Nothing. And if this person actually knows me, they know I wish them well, so they donapos;t really need to see it here, they know that my absence doesnapos;t amount to "Suck a rusty tailpipe for your birthday, asshole"�or anything like that. And if they donapos;t know me that well at all, the gesture would be just totally empty.
Which is kind of a shitty way to approach birthdays, especially for friends. Because who doesnapos;t like seeing a nice long list of people whoapos;ve gone out of their way to say those two words to you?
But I know, hey, this journal isnapos;t that great, there are much more interesting and funnier blogs out there, so if youapos;re still here, it must be because you like me (unless youapos;re looking for Creeping�Hemlock news, in which case, jokeapos;s on you, sucka). I know you all wish me well, and Iapos;m happy to have such a tidy list of cool people who I get to read up on every day. So thanks for the wishes Iapos;ve already gotten, and thanks for reading.
Iapos;m going to be busy all tomorrow getting ready for this lame website meeting (plus a second birthday post seems like overkill), so let me go ahead and wish a happy birthday to my Birth�Date�Brothers:


(Do you realize Viggoapos;s going to be
fifty? Damn,�I hope I look that amazing when Iapos;m... Well, twenty-five would be nice, actually.)
Evaluate Your Life

*Also, yay rum. apos;Cause
that synchronicity fucking sucks.
