happy pre-birthday. I got one coming up next week. Of course they aren't as exciting when you get older. No-one remembers to tell you "happy birthday", you don't get cool gifts anymore, you get things like socks instead. Damnit people, I don't even wear socks, or ties. It's like Pink Floyd said "a little less breath, and one day closer to death". I think I will have a mid-life crisis this year and buy a fast sports car and all kinds of other shit I don't need. Maybe not, I haven't decided.
