Happy Birthday to me
Happy Birthday to me
Happy Birthday TJ
Happy Birthday to me...
Twenty-six years old emotionally; ten years old mentally; and eighty years old physically.
How many birthdays have you had? How many stand out in your mind as the best? I bet it wasn't any year recently. I bet it was a birthday when you were younger. Why are we so fixed on Birthdays being better as children? When do birthdays stop revolving around gifts?
I absolutely hate buying presents. When asked "What did you get so-n-so for ))insert random holiday((?" my reply is usually "I gave them the gift of me." I'd rather take someone out, crack a few jokes, and give them a great time than give some random gift that will be forgotten as quickly as it was given. Is that arrogant? "I gave them the gift of TJ." Am I some sort of amazing person to be around? Why am I such a fucking pretentious prick sometimes? This is my train of thought when celebrating other's holidays because this is my favorite present to get....
Don't get me wrong..... toys are nice. My family scraped together a chunk of money so that I could have nice lenses for my new camera for which I'm incredibly thankful. Hopefully I'll be able to capture some nice memories over the holidays. But, for me, I really enjoy just getting together and having a great time....which is what I got this year....
This week was full of visits from friends. Jason came into town with his roommate Aaron, who turned out to be a really cool guy, and we had a great time this week. Andy and Erin had to come into town for family reasons, but it was really cool to spend the time I did with them. Cynthia basically spent the entire time with us which was also glorious because she's been sick for like a month.
Another Birthday; another day; another cake; another wish- Same wish as last year.....
.......to have another birthday.

We love you tj!
And I'm not contagious or even sick anymore! You'd have to drink a gallon of my spit to get sick. You'd probably like that though...
I want a cool nickname like "bubbles"
I remember in Health class the teacher said you'd have to drink 27 gallons of someone's saliva to contract their HIV....all I could think about was drinking 27 milk jugs of spit.... it kinda turns my stomach to think about....
so no...not a gallon....27 gallons to get your MAIDS(Mouth AIDS)
Yes, because everything they tell you in health class is accurate
