*pop*

by

i forgot to mention that i’m now old. thirty-two. 32. 0010 0000 (that’s binary for the geeks out there. represent!). holy crap, when the fuck did i get old? i still feel like i’m in highschool most of the time, except with way more credit and wrinkles.
for my birthday, i ate cake and watched movies. i spent the beautiful weekend in sleepy parksville with the maternal unit and the cat who hates me. i bought t-shirts and the Best Underwear Ever for my upcoming american vacation. i visited home depot for the first time in my life and got ideas for decorating/functionalizing (that’s a new word, spread it around.) the new apartment. julie, the fabulous, sent me a copy of the eleventh hour from my wishlist (thank you so much!). it arrived just as i was waiting outside for my ride to the ferry on friday morning. the festivities officially end today after my co-workers take me and my birthday-buddy out for lunch and then present yet more cake for us to eat.
i’m so glad birthdays only come once a year. i can totally wait that long for any more cake.

    i figured we’d celebrate your birthday here when we have our slumber party.
    so i am reserving all birthday wishes until i get to give them to you in person (in what like 19 days?)

    Happy belated birthday!
    P.S. Look. If I’m not old, then you’re not old. And if I’m old, then… bite me.

    Chris would like to point out that 0010 0000 would be read by most programming languages as 4096, because the leading zero would indicate that you mean the number to be in octal (base 8), not binary (base 2).
    Help! My boyfriend is a geek and I’m starting to understand him!
