A Very Merry Unbirthday to Me!

Today is the closest we will get to my birthday this year. If you wish to help celebrate, the best way to do so is to hoist a cocktail in the nanosecond between 00:00:00 and 00:00:01 tonight.

I am twenty-seven, which officially marks the passage from mid to late twenties. Next year, I will start pushing thirty. I plan to push thirty farther away from being an indicator of adulthood. I hope none of you were waiting for that landmark, but I can't have people suddenly start expecting me to pay bills on time and take responsibility for my actions. That won't do!

For the record:

1) I have had six birthdays so far.

2) Ha, ha. Yes, I do look very mature for my age. That is so funny.

3) I have actually met adult people who refuse to accept the whole Leap Year thing and insist that I am making it up until presented with evidence from an almanac or other reference. How does that happen?

4) Yes, Leap Year babies are more special than everyone else. Now you know.

5) I generally celebrate on February 28th, because at least it is in February. However, my lack of a real birthday gives me the opportunity to have as many celebrations as I like, in my opinion. Not to mention the excuse for one hell of a party every four years.

This year, I will be traveling to New York to cohost an epic gala with the fabulous, sparkly Captain Glitter Biscuit, also a February baby, and the warm, fuzzyAgent Mike, whose house is being warmed. Our party is on March 1. Envy our delicious socializing, mortals!

Happy birthday! Came across you while trolling Blog Hot or Not. I turned 30 on the 26th and have long wondered what it would be like to be born in between the months. Enjoy your nanosecond. ^_^

I was born in a leap month (hebrew calendar.) So this year, I actually get my birthday. :)
And happy birthday. May many chocolates fall out of the sky into your lap.

A very merry unbirthday to the Tron, from an April fool. May all your nanoseconds be conducive ones. And may you live to have many many more actual birthdays.
