I wanted to post this one yesterday but it was way too late. Soooo, posting it on the eighth but still maintaining the title, since it sounds better. :P
I know, I owe non-book-related entries. I wanted to write something when Ash Wednesday rolled around but work and Wordplay ate too much time, and I honestly wanted to read more instead of blog. But today I felt the need to blog, mostly because of the date today: March 7.
That means…there’s ten more days before I turn 23. TEN!
I’m a big fan of birthdays. I like celebrating birthdays — be it for friends or family or even especially Christmas (since it is Jesus’ birthday). And yes, those birthdays include mine. I know it’s mighty selfish, but I always consider birthdays as days when the celebrant can act as bratty as they want and be excused since its their birthday. :P So there.
So anyway. It’s just a little over a week till I turn 23, and I’ve got…three lunches/dinners that are planned for the month. Haha, talk about fun. Of course, most of those are my treat, which I really don’t mind, although sometimes I hope someone else would sponsor food for my birthday. Or, wait, my parents have done that for years. Heh. :P Anyway, I’ve got a lunch with my teammates on Friday (and that’s shared with three other teammates so the damage won’t be that bad), another one for IBM Club friends and another one for my family (I originally planned a free hotel night with them, but we’ll do that when my Dad gets here) and another one for other friends. So…let’s see how much these things would cost me, haha.
Anyway, I call on this moment to call on special birthday privileges and be a bit materialistic. In short, it’s wishlist time. :)
