November Spawned a Monster
Happy Birthday to me. I haven't been blogging lately, but it's not because I'm too old.
Hell, I've been too old to blog since I escaped my teenage girl years.
As impersonal as Facebook is, I'm actually cheered that at least half of my friends people on my friend's list have taken the time to post "HAPPY BIRTHDAY". And, some have even posted MORE!!!
It will be a successful and meaningful birthday if 2/3 of my facebook friends acknowledge this most excellent and holy of all days with a message.
I don't know what the reason is....(probably because I'm not a hot girl), but NONE of my friends ever remember my birthday. Granted, I remember (and celebrate) almost nobody's without being alerted to the date by electronic reminders, but that's not the point. The point is celebrating ME and all of my contributions to the world. And to commemorate the day that I came forth from my mom's vagina.
Btw, I promise to never again use those words in the same sentence.
What is proper etiquette for announcing one's birthday? Obviously, not like this. I.e. Today, I was in court for SEVERAL hours (yes, I know I had to WORK on my birthday for once although the government has decided to close courts on Nov 11 in honor of me) and not once did I go up and tell anyone that it was my birthday. And I enaged in many conversations and some were to people that I consider regular business acquaintances and maybe one or two....daresay, I call them "friends".
So, thanks to Face Book, as impersonal and as meaningless as it is, at least people are notified that it is my birthday. Although, as a fellow gamer, I understand that the midnight release of CALL OF DUTY (4) : BLACK OPS takes precedence.
In conclusion, Happy Birthday to me. In lieu of gifts, please donate to my favorite charity....me.
