Topic: It's all about me
The 'What do you want for your birthday?' questions are already starting. It's not like we can afford for me to go nutso in some store, gathering up a bunch more crap that I really don't need. And really, it's not like I want anything in particular.

Yes that's a fucking lie. I do want the new Ghost in the Shell movie on DVD, as well as Wicked City and maybe All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku-Nuku or something. I don't know, I've been on some weird anime kick lately. But that's not exactly important. I want books too, and music, and the usual slew of crap that entertains me and makes me feel like I'm a unique being because only I would choose that particular mix. And that's an illusion really, because I'm sure there are plenty who would indeed choose that particular mix.

Is this some sort of subconscious attempt to pretend I'm not getting older? I've never had a problem with the age thing before. (Last year's ick birthday notwithstanding...) In fact, I rather enjoy the fact that my age keeps clicking up another digit - much better than the alternative. I do plan to actually enjoy this year's festive aging occasion, despite the fact that if falls on a fucking Wednesday.

What do I want for my birthday? Another one next year.
