Anniversary of my Existence.

Posted by absent Aug. 24, 2008 @ 12:37 PM EDT

Yes, today is my birthday. The 17th one, to be specific and all that. And in the most cliché, uninspired, and predictable way possible, I'm writing in a blog about it.

Oh well. There must be a reason for writing this, right? There must be some underlining motive behind putting finger-to-keyboard and creating these small gray pixels you're reading (or glancing over) right now. Well, the only reason I can think of right this moment is the desire for attention and comments as interesting as "Happy Birthday", but perhaps something more substantial might become clear later on.

So here's some incredibly important news for my fellow people out in cyberspace: I was down the shore two days ago (as is called "going to the beach" 'round my parts) in Ocean City. The usual affairs included walking along the boardwalk, going in the very murky water congested with fellow vacationers, and playing DDR in the arcades.

Anyways, I'll be back again in about a week if anyone else is going to be there (a long-shot, to be sure). I'm about average height, brown hair, and will most likely be wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and sandals. I hope this narrows everything down enough for you to spot me!

More important news straight out of my very important life (and I'm most certainly not cynical--oh no sir): I saw "In the Heights" on Broadway about a week or so ago, and I'd say it was quite good. Some nice bits of comedy, and the music was a surprisingly fun combinations of multiple genres and sounded great. If you know Spanish, the experience will also be much better.

All right, that's enough, back to the birthday. Remember, I'm important today. Oh yeah. Although to be frank, 17 is a rather boring age. It's like a filler age. 16 and 18 are both very nice ages to be, but 17 is in the middle, doing nothing one way or the other.

At least 17 sounds a hell of a lot younger than 18; I'll rely on that for now.

Wait, your younger than me?

Fuck this.

I suppose so. Funny thing, the internet.


Aug. 24, 2008 | 9:17 PM NEVR says:

19 is another filler age -- between 18, where you're legally an adult and can drink (in the UK at least), and 20, which is the first of the non-teen ages... so meh. Being 19 has been a bit boring ;P

Anyway, happy 17th birthday man.

Aug. 24, 2008 | 10:53 PM absent responds:

Thanks dawg.

And you have to be 21 to drink here, so 19 AND 20 are filler ages till then :p

Happy 17th yo!

Why would you go the beach to play DDR inside, unless you spent some time on the beach and I missed it.

It would be easier to spot you if you posted a picture of yourself! :O

If you give 17 some time, you;ll probably love it.

Aug. 24, 2008 | 10:54 PM absent responds:

Naw, I went on the beach as well.

And posting a picture of myself on a rather public site like this would be totally crazy! I'll keep my pictures on facebook, yo.

Hopefully I will like 17 one day! (probably will by the time I turn 18)

Well, you can drive. That's a plus.

Oh of course. I actually coulda gone for my learners permit as early as 6 months before turning 16 IIRC, but I only recently got it at the beginning of the month.

I'll probably go for the real license around March or April. Oh boy!

And too bad your ASCII 17 didn't totally work out :p

A facebook? Oh my oh my! How come I don't have a friend request in my inbox!?

Aug. 25, 2008 | 11:36 PM absent responds:

I'm usually too lazy to go on Facebook and do things on it. However, I do have Joel as a friend!

You must not be as cool :O

Happy (late) birthday! Surprising that one of the most mature and helpful mods is also one of the youngest...

Aug. 29, 2008 | 12:19 PM absent responds:

Oh, I'm not that mature. I just happen to be good at keeping myself from posting all the immature things I happen to think of... most of the time ;)

Wowowow. I was so sure I had checked your userpage to see if you had posted something for your birthday! I guess I didn't :(

I was thinking about telling you happy birthday on Facebook (which is probably what I should have done!), but I thought it might seem like just another "OMG LOOK I SEE PEEPZ BDAYS ON MY BDAY LIST" kind of happy birthday. I wanted something special and meaningful!

Or maybe I'm posting this today to prove that you were not just important on your birthday - you are important EVERY SINGLE DAY EVER. See! I'm making a super cool comment about you!!

I don't think I will be able to spot you, as I will probably be having way too much fun in school.

ANYWAY, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAYYY!!! I hope you enjoyed yourself a whole lot, and still do! ;D

maybe I will make birthday flashes next year, if I can get everything going on in my life settles down a bit. ...I don't think I can post short comments :x

Aug. 29, 2008 | 12:26 PM absent responds:

That's ok!!! I should have commented on your recent news post (kinda) a while ago but I haven't yet! I'll do it one day :(

Anyway I think your comment is super cool (and much more super cool than Facebook) and it makes me feel super cool too.

It's too bad you have school! I can't go back and have loads of fun until September 4th!

As for Flashes and stuff--don't worry about it! You should always put your big real life issues first. THANKS FOR THE COMMENT, BRO.

Happy birthday!
BTW: Sorry for the forum slip-up.

Aug. 29, 2008 | 12:20 PM absent responds:

IT'S ALL GOOD.

Happy birthday absent! bit late writing this

Thanks, yo.

Very late but congrats on being a new age, didn't know you were so young.

Sep. 13, 2008 | 12:45 AM absent responds:

Woo hoo.

I should have said I was 14 or something, though--better reactions ensured!

Ah damnit. I was about to destory someone on the bbs. =\
