jackofallgeeksSo, yeah. It's my birthday.
-smiles-
It's a strange sort of thing for me, sometimes, I think. I generally keep my birthday to myself, though I'm not as secretive about it as some -- if asked, I'll say, but I don't generally proclaim it. And I usually keep it rather quiet and personal. A day for me. I guess it's that latent introvert in me, or something.
I was thinking last night that this could be one of those quirky self-defense sorts of things I find I have without really noticing it. -shrugs-
Lots of things to say, if I took the time, but as it is I'm supposed to be in class. Today, as with most of my birthdays, I don't 'feel' any different -- I've been operating under the assumption that I was 23 for most of this year already. Though, there is an odd quirk in that I can't decide if "twenty-three" sounds old to me or young. I'm leaning toward young -- I'm only twenty-three -- but sometimes... I mean, I have my own apartment, I've been living by my own means more-or-less for years now, but particularly in recent months. My little cousins are turning 14 and 16 and 18, and I remember when I was 14 and 16 and 18. I'm getting a Master's Degree, and I'll have it shortly after I turn 24. But really, that just makes me think I'm too young to have a Master's Degree. My friend Nifer said twenty-three sounded young, but I think that's because it was so close to her age, and she thought I was a bit older. It occured to me that I'll probably still think I'm young when I'm 37, 45, and 52.
My mom was nearly 23, not quite, when she had me. My dad was probably 24 or 25, I guess.
I want to be married, and I want a daughter. But, sometimes, I'm OK with waiting a little bit, too.
I want a kitten.
And, truthfully, I thought I would be a little more sad today than I am. So that's a good thing.
