Happy Birthday to Me

January 10, 2006 | In: Personal

God, I’m awful at keeping up with this blog, lately. I think a lot of the problem is that I’m not at all comfortable blogging at work. I hate people looking at my screen, so I just don’t do it. And when I get home I’m often not motivated to type anything (or do a lot of things I should). I’ll have to work on that problem.

My birthday was this past Sunday on the 8th. I’m now a whopping 29 years old, which reminds me that I need to update my age in the right column of this blog layout. I’ll get to it eventually. Anyway, festivies started Saturday night with me and the roommates hitting Thai Spice in the Greenwood area. While getting ready, I decided to shave off the chin pubes, with the afttermath shown below.

I kept the soul patch, initially, as seen above, but removed it at the suggestion of a friend. I find it a bit strange to see my chin again; it certainly feels naked, to be honest, but I’m going to go ahead and grow back the goatee. It’ll take a copule of weeks, but I’ll have it before I know it.

Okay, so, yeah, we had thai food for dinner and came back home. We partook in a certain something-something and then proceeded to watch some movies: a recorded version of Tony’s play, Catch, as performed by a gay theatre troupe in Sacramento, California, followed by Napoleon Dynamite and Romy & Michelle’s High School Reunion, to cap off the evening. Laughed a lot.

On Sunday, on my actual birthday, I met up with my family for lunch. We gathered down in Edinburgh, Indiana, so that my sister Lisa could join us. It is half way between Indianapolis and Louisville, making it convenient for everyone. After eating, we did a slight bit of shopping at the outlet mall right there and then came home.

I spent most of the rest of my birthday in my bedroom. And I liked it.

So, next year is the big three-oh and I can’t fucking wait. <sarcasm>
