Prompt #237: Perfect Birthday
My birthday is 1st November. This year, I celebrated it for the first time in a great many years, because Isobel insisted we do so. I received presents, as well, which was very odd. I suppose I do not need to elucidate the pointlessness of celebrating one's birthday on Apocalypse's ship, and afterwards, I was always far too busy being evil to pay attention to such matters.
Really, I daresay, after the age of one hundred and sixty they do all begin to blur together. I am immortal, so the idea of marking each year as it passes seems somewhat silly to me. When you have eternity before you, a year seems quite insignificant indeed.
However, was very pleasant to spend my birthday in Savannah, with Rachel and Isobel. Isobel did not, thankfully, require me to wear a party hat of any kind, for which I was grateful. I very vividly remember my gift from Rachel, and I am fond of the labcoat Isobel purchased for me. I have the photograph in my office at home, which features Isobel and Rachel smiling at me.
I suppose if they wish to mark the occasion next November, I shan't mind. Perhaps, when I celebrate my two-hundredth year upon earth, I shall have a party.
Provided no one tries kills me before that.
