Yay!!! I get the official birthday cake-fake-out gif! :happyhope:

Thank you very much Creamcrazy!

Yep, tomorrow I'm turning 26 years old. I can no longer say I'm halfway to 30, but OVER halfway to 30 (that thought actually terrifies me :lol:)

No big parties or anything for me. Last week I went out to eat at On The Boarder (awesome Mexican restaurant) with my best friends Tim and Dyana. That was much fun. They gave me Lego Rock Band for the XBox 360. It's pretty cute, and it's awesome to have a Rock Band game with "Ghostbusters" on it ;)

Every month at work the last Wednesday of the week is designated as the day to celebrate all the office birthdays for the month. Essentially it means everyone brings in food and we all pig out. This time it happens to fall on my actual birthday, plus I'm the only one in the office with a birthday this month :D

Tomorrow night I'll be going out to dinner with my mom and dad at a wonderful Chinese buffet. It's been WAY too long since I've had good Chinese food. They're giving me money to put towards my iMac purchase as a birthday present. My mom and dad rock :konahope:

Being sang to by a hamster and having having an anime girl hand me strawberry cake?...............THIS IS THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!! :D

Tell the rapping king I'll be happy to go to King Richard's Fair if he promises not to be there :lol:

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! You guys are awesome ^_^ It's definitely been off the crazy *pumps "The Final Countdown"* WE'RE HEADED TO VEEENNNUS!!!!

You know, Jimmy Miz pointed out to me earlier that my comment about being over halfway to thirty now really doesn't make sense since technically I've been over halfway to thirty since turning 16. That was awful phrasing on my part. I was thinking in terms of living in your 20's, for the record. Just figured I'd point that out, so I don't look like a moron.

And hey, check out this birthday drawing that was sent to me from my pals Mike Murphy and Celina Hernandez of Chibi Comics:

ADORABLE!!!!! :happyhope:

Happy 26th, man. :D You're on the other side of the 25 line now, no turning back. Muahahahaha.

(I'm 28 in March, so I label myself "almost 30", now. :P )

Good Chinese, drool... It's been forever since I went out for Chinese, too.

Well, technically you're halfway to 30 the moment you hit *15*, so feel free to use that & make Jimmy feel like a moron too ;)

On the down side, that means you've been halfway to 50 for over a year already.... :blink:


p.s. Oh, and it looks like Google Ads is jumping in too, found this at the bottom of the page...

I seriously know exactly what I'm gonna do as soon as I've got money again. <_<
Binge on Chinese.
...that, or Pro Markers. Curse you, Life, and your choices.

I still get taken for being in my late teens, so I'm apparently age malfunct or something. (might add that that usually includes me being taken for a guy, too, so maybe it's understandable)

I'm sure he phrased it better and I just made myself look like a fool again though :lol:

Halfway to 50?! Stop stop STOP STOP STOP!!!! *covers ears and goes "la la la la la!"*

See everybody? Disney apparently endorses "Alone in a Crowd." (I'm not sure I'd want that actually, heh. Though I did get that e-mail from a guy at Pixar once. THAT I'll be happy over). I have noticed the ads on the forum get humorously specific to the subject matter, don't they? We should make a thread where we purposely try to make the weirdest ads possible show up :hope:

Go with the markers. Though I'm just saying that because I got so utterly ill only just two days after eating from a Chinese buffet. It may be a little while before I go back to one :blink:

Markers make drawings. Drawings good *thumbs up*

Do these mistakes in age and gender happen online or offline?

Hey, now! Just remember that *I'm* less than two years from that particular milestone, so it's not like *you* have any cause to complain... <_<

Oop. You're right. I really shouldn't complain (even if I'm not entirely serious when I do, heh).

If it makes you feel any better, I'm writing characters younger than me who can taunt me by doing things I can't :winkhope:

You know what, let's start focusing on the positive aspects of age!

Hmm. Drawings, very good. This, good argument.

I'll see if I can get some art material out of my birthday! (I'm 28 on the 25th. I keep forgetting. Mom's gonna call me on that morning and have to remind me why. XD)

Yes.

It happens offline too, yeah, especially after I cut my hair. Like with this old couple whose bags I helped haul onto the train, and later I overheard them talking about "the nice boy" who helped them :) And there was that little girl who looked hard at me on the train once and then asked which I was, girl or boy. And not too long ago I got a "youth" ticket on the bus without asking. He assumed I was under 20, right off. The last guess on my age I heard was 21.
I confess, I like it that people can't tell. I don't make any efforts to make it easier. I have a mixed up gender identity, and don't feel like any age beyond "adult", and I like shaking up categories a little ;)
Actually it happens less online, the gender mistake anyway. I think my user name is a hint where I use the "bitch wolf" nick.

Actually I don't mind the whole getting older thing. After 25, there's so much I stopped fretting about and the whole maturing thing is OK if you get to do it your own way. Age must fascinate me though. Or I wouldn't have so many May December Romance stories in the works... :lol:
Age never factors in all that much when I choose friends, and I don't think about my own very often. Measurements like time are only coordination devices, after all. The approaching 30 line does make me give it a think what I want with the rest of my life, but it doesn't dictate anything, if you get my drift. At my age you're free to make all your choices and take all the consequences, and that's how I like it. And it only gets clearer to me with every passing year. You let go of a lot of ideas of things you "must" live up to, and stop trying to please people, because experience teaches you there's more people to find, and that your own track is more important. It's good to age.

You know, I do agree with that. I mean, I do miss being a kid on some level, or miss being a college student (but that's another story altogether. I kinda missed out on the whole real college experience), but overall I like being the age I'm at, or around it. I'd rather have what I have at this age and beyond than what I had way back when on most levels.

What bothers me about getting old is loosing time. There's SO much in life I don't have or haven't experienced, and I feel like I've wasted time by not doing those things. I see other arounds me doing this or having that at ages when I feel like I should have but didn't. And I kind of worry about not being able to experience things in my prime, you know? (sorry if that's vague. It applies to multiple things).

I guess I just need to tell myself "it's never too late." Though for some things, what if it is?

......I hope you've all enjoyed this look into Tom's messed up head :P

Oh, right.
I turned 28 last week.
I had dinner with my family. All of us for once; even Sis came over. It was nice even though I was still stressed out over studies :lol:
