Today, I whimpered, “I am getting too old!”

It was a silent terrified tremor of…being close to 30. The forsaken three decades of old lore. But in less than 3 weeks, I will be turning the vicious age of twenty-seven (on an unspecified date to be determined). The cube of 3. And like when I was 16, I can answer to a/s/l as 3^3/no i have a headache/in the middle of nowhere

Although that means some people will think I am 33.

But on to the annual bday wish list. A yearly event on the blog since 2002!
