Birthdays Are the Tolling of

Birthdays are the tolling of
A bell that marks the coming of
A time of festive joy and love,
A time to treasure life and love.
So come and celebrate with me
The circumstance that makes me, me:
The moment when I came to be,
And what I now have come to be.

It's my birthday today. Heh, another year. I'm a quarter of a century old, and I still have difficulty finding my keys. Pocket full of "happy pills" should get me through this day. My 4 day weekend is a nice way to celebrate another year closer to death. (...or a mortgage. Either way, it should suck major ass)

Laugh because it hurts. Cry because you laughed too much.
Liezel Ann 1980-

Cheers.
