27

Today is my 27th birthday.  I generally try not to get too excited about my birthday, but invariably I usually do.  Most years something bad happens on or around my birthday and well really who wants to celebrate the anniversaries of bad things?  But then again it is my birthday and I do love celebrating...


This year I didn't really get excited.  For the first time I seem to have actually taken my own advice and not gotten my hopes up that anything especially good would happen today.  It is now 8:00pm and while nothing especially good has happened today, nothing especially bad has happened either.



Both of my parents seem to have forgotten that today is my birthday.  Strangly enough this isn't really bothering me all that much.  I think it's due to the fact that I did not get my hopes up for anything this year.  I think had I gotten excited (like I typically say I won't but absolutely do) that this would bother me quite a bit.  I would have probably have sat around my house in the dark and had a pity party 16 candles style (yes I probably am that dramatic, but no I'm probably no where near as cool as molly Ringwald).


 But for some reason this year it just doesn't seem to matter to me.  Plenty of people have wished me a Happy Birthday.  One friend even called and sang me the entire Birthday song over the phone.  My in-laws and my hubs got me fabulous gifts.  Hubs is (hopefully) getting off work soon, and planning to take me to a late dinner.  All in all it's been a good, if somewhat uneventful, day.

Ooo before I forget, I did discover today that I share my birthday with this fabulous lady:

which I happily informed her of via Facebook.  Fingers crossed that I get a response (even though I'm sure it would be from some staff member, it would still be incrediblestoryItellfortherestofmylife cool!), it could be a game changer folks, my birthday could forever be known as the catalyst for beginning my beautiful and life long friendship with Zooey.  One day many years from now we could sit together at our annual birthday dinner party with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, while of course listening to the song She&Him wrote to denote the special occasion, and laugh about how our friendship began via random Facebook comment.

...not that I've given this idea much thought at all...





P.S. I'm assuming this pic is a gag, this lady is waaaaayyyy too amazing to ever do anything illegal
