Okay, 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???

That happens to me too! Not yet with the 22nd birthday (though it is my half-birthday today!), but the "1998 wasn't so long ago! Come on, I saw Armageddon in the theater!"

But yes! Happy birthday! To celebrate, may I [livejournal.com profile] metaquotes this?

I know what you mean about the years coming on too fast. Every now and then I catch myself thinking ridiculous things like "ah yes, I'll be into my 20s soon" or "when is that new millenium going to start?" Sigh.

Anyway, happy birthday!

Happy birthday - and I laughed when I read your entry because I do the exact same thing, only I hadn't thought of it in such amusing terms before. :D

Hee! Happy birthday. (And I can sympathise; I''m turning 19 next week, and I still have that rather loud voice in my head that keeps insisting I'm actually only 17. *grin*)

Happy Birthday! :-*

I'm telling you via LJ because I'm not going to be on later tonight. Stupid brief.

But I'll make it up to you later ;)

Happy birthday! Just wait until you hit 27, and your husband casually mentions that we have 3 years until we're 30. Eek! THEN you'll have a "holy crap, time is passing fast!" moment. Tomorrow is my half-birthday (as someone else mentioned above)...almost *gasp* 28! :)

23 isn't a bad age at all! The Jorge is older than that, and he's not ancient or anything.

Actually, 23 is really young. Ish. Just look at Marg Helgenberger. My parents said that her lips have inflated in a recent episode... but that's still way past 23.

For a male, I guess there's Robert De Niro. The Eights still thinks he's cute.

23+ = Victory!

Heh, same birthday as me... except mine was the 29th.

What would you say if I told you I look at a '96 car and say "hey, that's practically new! How come it's so cheap?" :)

... sorry for that, just random searching LJ's. :)

Yes, I know I'm twelve days late, but happy birthday anyways. Or happy un-birthday, if you wish.
