The Big Four Oh.....

So, today I am 40. I'm not sure how I should feel about this. I didn't think I was going to feel any different, but for some reason I feel somewhat depressed, whichis unusual, considering I like birthdays. I never planned on suddenly not celebrating them once I reached a certain age. I think that it's more a function of missing certain people who are no longer here, which I actually started feeling a couple of weeks ago.

I suppose I should post something long and insightful about entering my fourth decade, but I'm at work right now, and to tell the truth, nothing insightful is coming to me and I'm really not in the mood.

God, I'm morose. Suffice to say that my birthday's not a big deal, but it'd be nice if people remembered it. John tells me he has a surprise for me later. Heh, he can't even keep a surprise a surprise.

(Edited: By "people," I was thinking about my family and people I've known forever. I wasn't trying to malign any of you great people on my friends list - you guys are the icing on the cake!)

Well very happy birthday! :)

Oh Jeez, I certainly didn't mean all of you guys! I was more thinking about people at work and at home who've known me forever. But thank you very much - I'm sorry if I sounded like I was feeling sorry for myself.

Happy birthday!!!!!! I have been so lax about wishing people that since Christopher. Before I had him, I had a list of every person on my lj's b-day and I would make a post dedicated to them. The list got lost and I haven't bothered to recreate it

~hop~

Ditto what I wrote to Dipster above. I guess I need to edit my post - I really didn't mean all my LJ friends. But thank you very much! I certainly understand about getting behind on birthdays and such. I'm in the same category myself - children rot your brain!

Hee, sure I will! I'm the one who likes suprises. He's the one who has to hide things at his mom's house so he won't tell me ahead of time what it is. :)

Happy birthday from someone who will be hitting 45 this January, which is going to be more of a milestone than 40 was. 45 is officially middle-aged, aagghhhh!

Just keep chanting, yaoi keeps us young, yaoi keeps us young...
