My birthday gift to myself was supposed to be getting my house neat and tidy and clean. I failed. You can't even tell I tried. But I know I tried, and I know it's better. Sorta. Ah well. My friend just took me out for breakfast. I realised I was hungover. Start as you mean to go on.....

I was wondering....

At 40, you're not even half way yet, but congrat's on making it this far.
Still time for doing or finishing what you wanted when you were a 20-something.
After all it's really true that... it gets better

Happy Birthday, Monnie, you young thing you

Maybe for her birthday, we could all call her "monster" and avoid that other name.

jinx · 09-23-2010, 11:13 AM

Yeah, and stay off her damn lawn!

I'm 42. No bifocals yet. Welcome to the forties.

Happy Birthday Monster. The good news is that you will always feel 25. It's actually been proven that regardless of a person's actual age they always think of themselves as being in their early 20s.

monster · 09-23-2010, 11:50 AM

hehe.

Pico, you were wondering, huh? Now why would that be? I rarely get hungover. That's not to say I rarely drink, just that sometimes I get slack on my post-drinking protocol.

It seems maybe some people think my passion about the it gets better campaign is out of character. I can assure you it's not. I just save it for certain topics I feel very strongly about. This happens to be one.

Glatt, thanks.

It started getting better the minute I stopped trying to be who other people felt I should be sometime during high school, and yes it's still getting better. That's why I'm celebrating 40, not mourning it. Plenty more things to do with my life and plenty I've done. I've spent the last decade getting to know the States (visiting 37 of them) Now maybe I'll spend the next 10 improving them?

monster · 09-23-2010, 11:51 AM

I kinda liked my 30s. Now i have a whole nother decade to play with. Of course then I'll be 50....

Tulip · 09-23-2010, 11:55 AM

Should we wish you a happy birthday here or over in the birthday thread? Oh, what the heck...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

It's ur birthday, have fun, not clean the house.

Btw, I felt old at 40...doh, that's this year.

My body, not my spirit that is.

That's cool Monster, but it's not why I wondered. I didn't think twice about the passion you exhibited, I've seen you do it before in other areas. Must have been something in the wording in one of your posts. No biggie.
