One year on

Did I really just turn 25? How sad that I’d forgotten my own birthday until other people reminded me. I went to work this morning and a friend confirmed that it was almost my birthday. According to Facebook, I’m now 25. MSN messages started popping up around midnight from people, some of whom I haven’t spoken to since my last birthday.

Although I had it in the back of my mind that this day was coming, I haven’t been looking forward to it. I’m sort of in limbo at the moment. I still consider myself a boy and I only make the effort to shave about once a month, but gosh, these days do come around fast.

Actually, I hate birthdays. I usually try and keep my birthday a secret every year. I dislike birthdays because it makes me feel uncomfortable when people feel obliged to be nice to me. Yes, I’m truly cynical, but I do like other people’s birthdays, so I’m not all bad.

I can only hope and pray that my work colleagues don’t find out about this.

Happy birthday to Preya as well. She turned 25 on November 12, a day before me. I think we share some sort of blogger bond.

    Happy Birthday Matt! Just be careful…I tried to climb out of bed this morning and my hip gave out. The mirror confirmed three new gray hairs a turkey neck. Where's the geritol?

    If you dont like your own birthday, then you should have come to the shop and celebrated our sons as he was 4 yesterday. Next year if you are still here we will rent a bouncy castle, which is great fun after a few Singha ;-)

    Also, fellow scorp, I hope you have a fun birthday…the only other place I'd want to celebrate my birthday is Thailand! But it's back to reality for me…must go grade essays:)
