it's funny how yesterday my profile said i was 23 and today it says i'm 24 -- a very unceremonious changing of the age. i don't know what i expected it to do, it's not like my blog would start shooting fireworks onto my computer screen. i'm sure our ages are calculated by the mammoth servers which power blogger.com (although i thought i powered blogger) in some intricate algorithm. i guess maybe blogger might wish me a happy birthday when i logged in.
on that note, i'll again quote Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life, which echoes my feelings on birthdays:
i've already received a number of well wishes from family and friends, some whom i would not have expected to even remember my birthday. and my yahoo page posted a little happy birthday icon this morning. that was nice. it's been a lovely day so far.i'm very glad i was born and definitely appreciate the ongoing alive status that each birthday brings, but i do not typically get into the animated birthday hoopla spirit. i do recognize, however, that for me it is a fine line between not wanting to make a big deal about my birthday but also wanting family and
certain friends to dote enough to satisfy some nebulous quality/quantity acknowledged-my-birthday-barometer.
