It's my Birthday today! *dances*

Am now in possession of really cool gadget, set of square dinner plates and a gold bracelet. *dances some more*

Another virgo.

[uncle_michael]

Happy Birthday. I just finished celebrating (hiding from?) my birthday (28th, the day, not the age). People over 40 years of age, don't talk of such things.

Excellent, another vastly obsessive control freak?

And since you've been staking out my journal, you already know how old I am. Comeon, 'fess up, fair's fair. *grins*

(and Happy Birthday for last Sunday.)

I read years ago that virgos are destined to be cranky bus drivers who fall asleep during intimate moments. I'm 42 and don't yet have a bus to drive, and it's getting harder to get any sleep these days due to the sound of my skin wrinkling.

Re: Another virgo.

[morghaine]

42! You are stressing about being 42! I'd imagined you at 65 or something. Pah, 42 is nothing!

And I don't know how to drive a bus, but perhaps it is time I learned. But as for the falling asleep...why would they do that?

Re: Another virgo.

I was fine with turning 42, but now I'm depressed that I give off the impression of "65 or something." My dad's only 63! (I shouldn't be too surprised - I was once mistaken for him).

Regarding the bus, I wouldn't bother; try a forklift or a nice farm tractor - they have lots of knobs and levers. As for Virgo being the sign of the anal-retentive (hence the falling asleep thing), I quote comedian Lewis Black (who shares your birthday), "the sign kind of sucks, really, and I don't know if it has helped or hindered me, but I am sure that stars do more than twinkle."

Only 65 or something when you make references to wrinkling in your sleep.

As for the bus, I was rather thinking one of those great big interstate trucks that you can sleep in. Then I can pull up at truck stops and have showers.

Re: Another virgo.

[uncle_michael]

I've hung out in my share of truck stops and I don't remember seeing any showers or truckers that had recently used one. Rather, I think showering is against some teamster rule. During harvest, my uncle drives a tractor-trailer, delivering wine grapes from our family vineyard. He smells pretty ripe, and not in that nice merlot way. My bus-driving uncle seems to bathe regularly.

May I suggest learning to drive a yacht? When I'm 65 I shall roam about in a yacht, which shall be my sketchy tax-dodge and shower facility. It shall hold my books, my bike, and my ill-gotten booty. A sailor needs his booty.

Re: Another virgo.

[morghaine]

Oh, a yacht is a good idea. I only mentioned trucks and showering because the truck stops on our local leg of the nationwide highway have showers and a lounge area for truck drivers. *shrugs*

(I'm not mentioning your booty, but I'm sure it will be ill-gotten.)
