It's June. It's already June. My birthday is in less than two weeks. I'm definitely not looking forward to turning 27. This year is pivotal because I'm moving from "mid-20s" to "late-20s". Then 30 is just around the corner, then 40, then 60, then 90, then it's time to go! Ack!

I just hope I don't forget this year like I did last year. I'd hate to have "late-20s" sneak up on me and whack me on the back of my head like it almost did last year. I woke up the morning of my birthday last year, a Saturday, and the phone rang. One of my best friends was on the other end. The conversation went something like this:

Him: "Hey, whatcha doin' today?"
Me: "Uh... ... ... I'm not workin' today so I don't have anything planned."
Him: "We wanna take you out to lunch."
Me: "Huh?"
Him: "You know, for your birthday."
Me: "Wha?"
Him: "Today's your birthday. We wanna take you out to lunch for your birthday."
Me: "... ... ... ... ... Aw crap...!"

Though I must say the resulting salmon tacos were well worth the shock of suddenly turning 26.

UPDATE: 2005 Jun 12, 21:44: I'm freaking old! I'm still a genius, but now I'm an old genius.
