happy 0x001Ath birthday to me

tuesday: NOTHING TO SAY. I went to work. I worked. I am sad to be leaving my friends on the 3rd floor. I went to Uwajimaya to give Rumi her keys. We saw Iron Chef Morimoto, who was signing books there. A gazillion people were there, too. All of the possible plans for tonight blew up, so I ended up at home doing laundry.

It's now past midnight. Happy birthday to me. (AND TO MISS [profile] flotastic AMBER!!!!!) Thanks to the cool people who have sent me cards and happy messages. My dad called tonight too. Unfortunately I wasn't in a mood to talk to him. Bleh.

I vividly remember 1am on May 7, 1998, sitting in the Baker H&SS cluster finishing up our presentation for Advanced Prof/Tech writing... (hi [personal profile] jacquez, remember that crap?) I'd gone out for dinner with my Japanese class earlier that night to Orient Kitchen, and ate SOMETHING bad, because I found myself throwing up in the bathrooms in Baker a bunch of times. I remember talking to [profile] dvarin on zephyr like "It's my 21st birthday and I'm throwing up but I haven't had anything to drink!"

Hey, so how many of you remember celebrating my other birthdays with me? A good number of you were there for them... starting with my birthday in 1993 when my grandmother threw me a Sweet 16 (I didn't want one), then my birthday in 1994 when a bunch of us went to Joy Tzin Lau for chinese food and then to see PCU at the Riverview - and in 1995 we studied for the 15-211 final which was on May 7 - and in 1996 we had that gigantic party at MMA134 where we got back at the ASA House for all of their parties - and in 1997 Larry and I celebrated our birthdays together at Pizzeria Uno in Monroeville - and in 1998, I went to Mad Mex with like 30 people and I had no ID so [personal profile] angelbob ordered me a bunch of drinks, along with my first surprise birthday thing ever when Carl and Kevin baked me a cake at Roman's house on May 3. And in 1999 I had that huge Shady House birthday party (with the infamous "scraping joel young's sorry ass off my couch" zsig that resulted). In 2000 I went to the Church Brew Works for the first of the "I have N people showing up" where n ended up being (n log n) CBW gatherings, and in 2001 I had the co-birthday with [personal profile] ralphmelton on Cinco De Mayo, and in 2002 we did the CBW again with another hundred people and went to see Spider-Man.

And now it is 2003. Wow. I hope TMBG either sings Older or It's Not My Birthday tomorrow night. I hear they actually had a birthday cake for Flansburgh at tonight's show :) I should have gone... tonight was dumb. Oh well, at least I did laundry. Goodnight.

EDIT> [profile] proz pointed out that today is Konami day (573... 5-7-03...) HOW COOL IS THAT?!?!?!?!

As pointed out on IRC:

HAPPY upupdowndownleftrightleftrightBABA day

AKA HAPPY KONAMI CODE DAY. 05-07-03. (to the uninformed, 573 is a bemani/konami reference)

For once, your b-day means something.

3>'s to you. Yes, a weird guy like me can give 3>'s, especially to Dea!

Happy Birthday. If you need a gift idea for yourself, I suggest the newly released Tungsten C (review).

Too bulky, and why would I want 802.11? I prefer the Sony Clie PEG-TG50, at least in theory.
