Happy Birthday to me.
Happy Birthday to me.
Happy Birthday, dear Faustus.
Happy Birthday to me.
Though perhaps, given my senescence, a more appropriate birthday song would be the one they used to sing whenever it was anybody's birthday in the music library where I used to work:
It's your birthday.
It's your birthday.
Gloom and misery fill the air.
People dying everywhere.
It's your birthday.
It's your birthday.
People keep telling me the 30s are much better than the 20s.
Let's hope this is borne out by experience.

Stick around for at least another couple of decades; the 40s are even better than the 30s!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

When I turned 40, people told me it was the new 30. So maybe 30 is the new 25.
Pink, however, is still the navy blue of India...

As I turn 34 next month I can officially say that 31 was the hardest birthday. The 30's are better though, as you've learned the hard lessons and are now working on the easier stuff. Now you can officially have emotional baggage.

Navy blue, on the other hand, is the pink of Palm Beach.
One of these years I will remember your birthday (I always think it's in February for some reason). Happy birthday hugs and kisses to my absolutely favorite human to whom I am not related by birth or marriage!

Everything works out in your thirties, I swear. Happy Birthday Faustus.
25) orbicon said (on 01/12/04 at 11:57 PM):
What's so great about the thirties?
Ugh. At 30 I was a rebounding drunken slut; 31 got depressed and fat; 32 got therapy and thin; 33 is nigh and I'm feeling slutty again. :::grumble:::
26) orbicon said (on 01/12/04 at 11:59 PM):
Oh. Happy Bday too.

28) Ivy said (on 01/13/04 at 05:19 AM):
Don't be scared,
it's only wrinkles,
it's only age
it's only more words
written on the page.

Happy birthday!

Let's just put it this way: if your blog is a reliable indicator, your life is only going to get more fabulous.
And now I'm done pandering ;-)
Happy Birthday.
30) PatCH said (on 01/13/04 at 12:29 PM):
They say everything works out in your 30s. That's a lie: I haven't worked out in years, not even an aerobics class.

Only 3 years into them, I am enjoying my thirties... the world around me is a more firghtening place, but I seem better equipped to deal with it. With age comes wisdom. Or at least accumulated therapy.
Happy Birthday, my loquacious friend!
