mayhapOkay, so I wasn't looking and then all of a sudden it is my 22nd birthday. I hate it when that happens.
I, uh ... had not imagined being this old. In fact, as far as I am concerned, the entire universe came to an end in 2000. So, you know, I look at the copyright date on a book and it's 1998 and a loud and very stubborn voice in my head informs me, "This book was published two years ago!" Only to be corrected by the voice in my head that can actually tell time, which informs me, "No, this book was in fact published eight years ago."1 Then both of them get depressed and start looking for a stiff drink.
Fortunately, we're all legal.
1Next year, it will have been nine years. What is up with that???
