Last night Laura and I were talking about how we both feel weird about celebrating our birthdays. This does not seem to be a problem for everyone. The feeling happens every year around my birthday. It isn’t that I don’t want to celebrate. I’m not really sure how to celebrate. Birthdays, like all holidays, have so many expectations. Expectations makes celebrations feel totally weird.
So what should happen on birthday? I celebrated my 22nd and 23rd birthdays at the Brown House. (I don’t imagine I will celebrate my 24th there.) I tried to get tickets for Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, but that didn’t work out. My idea for this year was to use my birthday as an excuse to do the things we never do. So I want to make an apple pie, have french fries, drink a soy chocolate milkshake, have a really hoppy beer, maybe hang out at a park? Who’s with me?
Friday is my last day of work…I’m down to chill! Lets get an event of some sort!
