So, I meant to write some kind of birthday entry yesterday (hence the Nas quote), but then I remembered the beauty of Wienerschnitzel. Anyway, I turned 20 yesterday, so I guess I am no longer a teenager or whatever, which sucks. There goes my, "Well, we're both teenagers, officer" excuse.
If I stick to my suicide pact (and I don't think I can afford not to), I've only got 5 more years to go. Hopefully I can make them worthwhile. We'll see.
I didn't really do anything spectacular for my birthday; it was pretty much a typical day save for a few presents and some cake. I did see Strangers With Candy, which was about as good as I expected, which was pretty good. Of course, the show's better. I got some pretty nice gifts, including a 4GB iPod Nano. Now I'll finally be able to listen to music at work, although I am uncertain that I ever actually will. Even if I never use it, at least maybe just owning it will make me feel hip or gay or whatever.
Despite the fact that I'm twenty now, supposedly a solid two years into adulthood, I still don't feel any older than twelve. Since turning twelve, I don't think I've ever felt any older than about twelve. Maybe one day I'll feel like I'm supposed to. I told myself that twenty would be a turning point for me (whatever that means), so hopefully I can make that happen. I doubt it, but it's always good to have unrealistic goals based on arbitrary criteria.
Well, as death inches closer, I'm gonna go drop a deuce.
