Tomorrow is My Birthday. Read This.

As promised and because tomorrow is mine, I will be talking about birthdays, and not just mine. Well that's not true, probably primarily mine. Andso here I go.

So tomorrow is my birthday and I will be 23 years old, and I've already gone through three different stages of excitability in association to my birthday. Up to grade 7 I believe I was super enthusiastically excited for my birthday. Then high school came around and it kind of just fizzled out. It's not that I didn't care it's just that I wasn't overly excited because I felt that validation came from the number of people who showed up or said "Happy Birthday", now take in your account that this was before Facebook was huge.

Arg. I don't want to talk about my birthday it's just uninspired and I'm immensely unmotivated to write about this because it will end up with me reliving feeling bad about myself and that's not something I want to do.

Since I don't want this to be short I will give 23 unsolicited life tips.

1. It's okay to stalk a fictional character, but not a real living person.
