What Red Read: Birthday!

Friday, March 30, 2012

Birthday!

Guess what you guys?

I don't actually have a bookish birthday update here. I just wanted to tell everyone it's my birthday. Well I did decide to buy Attachments yesterday and I justified it because it's my birthday, even though I had just bought a book. So there, bookish birthday update.

Now to pad this out, here are some famous people who share my birthday.*
-Francisco Goya
-Vincent Van Gogh
-Anna Sewell
-Eric Clapton
-MC Hammer
-my Grandma (she may not famous, but she's pretty awesome)

Impressive talent to live up to.

*If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you may notice this is the same list as last year. Because guess what, no one super famous has shown up in the last year.

I'd totally buy you cake if you lived anywhere near me. And HEY I just realized you live near NYC and WE DID NOT MEET UP. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT, BIRTHDAY GIRL?

Fo' reals, enjoy the end of your 20s. These are the years you can still do idiotic crap and people'll forgive you way more than they will in your 30s.

Gah you're right! Why didn't we meet up? I'm technically out in LI so I do sometimes forget that I can now easily get over to the city. I'll just need to go to Chicago and bug you on your turf.

Also I'm so afraid of people not putting up with my ridiculousness in my 30s. Because I don't think I can stop the idiotic crap.

Happy birthday Allley! That's a pretty solid list of people to share a birthday with, especially MC Hammer ;)

Happy Birthday! Attachments is a wonderful self-birthday-gift.

May you have much cake and many balloons to celebrate! :)

I'm excited and already love Jennifer and Beth. And yes I'll have much cake. Or some other form of junk food at least.

Woohoo! Happy birthday, lady! And no, I have not forgotten to mail your book, I just haven't been near a post office during their working hours. Ahem.

Have a wonderful-fantastic day!

Thank ya! And no worries about the book. Especially considering the post office hours are 5 minutes in the middle of the day. I do look forward to it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (again!) And Van Gogh is my favourite, so well done on being born on the same day as him! The most famous person who shares my birthday is Hugh Hefner, and the less said about that the better really!

Jenna Jameson the porn star AND Hugh Hefner?! What the hell?! That's the stupidest birthday sharing ever! Also, what do you have, some kind of birthday remembering mechanism, or just, say, the internet?

Yeah your birthday has quite a theme going.

Also, that would be the lamest/greatest! superhero power. I just asked Wikipedia.

It's no longer actually your birthday, EVEN on the West Coast....which makes me fashionably late? No matter, I still insist upon telling you how happy I am that you exist, and one day I would very much like to confirm that you DO exist by squeezing you in real life.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
