birdmad cheer up daxle

i think it happens to each of us once.

your right, though
spending your birthday alone does suck if it isn't what you wanted.

dirty old grendel the age of the young woman in my workplace who has suddenly caught my attention.

meanwhile, here i am creeping close to thirty
what in hell am i even thinking?

my assistant is the same age as i, but quite married.

actually, i think my assistant is trying, in some backhanded way to play matchmaker between myself and the young lady

jennifer I am
a relatively boring age to be
much like 17 or 20
you can do certain things, but not everything. 19 is just one of those years, like 17 and 20 that are just fillers bewteen the good years.

Silent Bob the ghost in me
feels way beyond nineteen, but sometimes way below nine. i feel like such a joyful child sometimes. or such an ashamed child. or sometimes i feel like a wise owl that can snap reality with his mind.
Quoath the raven, "nevermore!"

ClairE Since I got to college time is slowing down. I love birthdays but don't particularly look forward to turning one year older. I'm still a teenager, technically, and for the first time I'd prefer the years to slow down and absolve me from responsibility.

I feel so young, and am told I am so young constantly. But the other night I was sitting here at my computer and thought to myself, "My birthday's in a month! 20 this time." And then I stopped. Twenty?! For some reason it seemed unutterably old.

Most of my friends are older than I am. I'm used to talking to people who are 25 and 22 and 23 and 21, and being the baby. So I always see myself as trying to catch up.

When I first got together with my blather_love I was eighteen and he was twenty. The age my mom and dad were, respectively, when they first met. Pretty soon I will be just as old as he was when we first started talking.

I guess before I relished leaving high_school behind. Now I'm realizing you can't go back. You can't go back. A new relationship is not the same as the first one. Every mistake and choice you made piles up, and the pile grows. It doesn't go away.

Almost two decades down, and a finite number left. Nothin' to it. Right?

irresponisible drinker,
and everyone under 19 is,
that is unless they
cross over into quebec
