Seriously.
Okay, yeah, it’s my birthday. I usually try let it slide under the radar. I frequently tell people to give to charity rather than waste money on me. Unless I’m actually doing something, like running a game or giving a presentation, I hate being the center of attention. I generally hate being fussed over.
That being said, I’ve had an incredibly shitty year and if anyone wants to fuss over me, shower me with gifts, of just throw money, I am not going to argue. I’m not expecting anything, of course, as things are tough all over and most of you have the same level of disposable income as I do (i.e. none) so don’t feel put out just because I’m allowing myself to feel greedy for a change.
On second thought, forget the whole thing, because that whole humility and guilt thing just came rushing back. Go feed the homeless or help kids with cancer or something. I’m doing pretty okay as-is.
Bah.
My plans today include sleeping late, going out to breakfast, going to the library to write, working the day job, and going out to dinner with friends.
