Today I am twenty five. Twenty five on the twenty-fifth. This is somehow significant, although I feel like people who turned 21 on the 21st enjoyed it more.
So far today has been pretty nice, aside from the fact that the second person to wish me happy birthday was my dentist, Dr. Roznick (good guy). This morning in lit class I brought up a quote that the teacher liked. This is the first time she has liked anything I said all semester. I’m awesome! Then I ate lunch with Nines at Bistro 49 on campus (the elusive casual dining restaurant in the student union). Texas Lexi called to wish me a Happy Birthday and then diagnosed me with synesthesia. She was all, hey what color is January? Yellow. What color is February? Purple. What color is A? Red. What color is 6? Green. What color is August? Orange. Where is September?
Right there, duh.
I know, right?
And now I’m sitting on the couch with my laptop thinking about taking a napskies because hey I’m old now and according to websites and other surveys I’m 25-30, which means I have more in common with people who have houses and careers and kids then with people going to keggers every weekend. Hold on, I just got depressed.
The point of all this rambling is that I hope you either love me or pity me enough to give me the best birthday present ever…by clicking the link below and voting for me in the best “blogger” category for this year’s Charlotte Magazine Best of the Best awards. I’m not even asking for your vote on best local blog because we all know I won’t be getting it. But maybe, just maybe, I can win blogger. I mean I’m 25. I’m unemployed. This is my extracurricular activity and maybe the closest I’ll ever get to being published. I NEED this. I mean, this is my birthday. And I told you about my brazilian for god’s sake. And how I’m actually 41 according to Wii fit. And I took your beatings after I hated Macs. And I let Matt Tyndall make fun of me. And I wrote for CLTblog. Heck, I even gave you “Disco Chicken“. I earned this. Right? Right?! Awww hell.
Vote for Me(ck)! ….. please?
UPDATE: today my wii fit age is…. 20. Suck it, losers!

Happy Birthday, Skew!
Did your dentist say happy birthday before I did yesterday right before midnight via twitter? I dont think so. I win.
Also, you aren’t old.
Also, congrats on your positive grad school feedback &, more importantly, your wii fit age!
YAY for bridesmaids. Expect many e-mails. I have tons of ideas I want to discuss with skew.
Happy Birthday!
This is your golden birthday–the best year of your life! I turned 25 on June 25th and I’ve been celebrating all year. I decided this was the year I would get a better job (check), get a book published (working on it), and enjoy my life in Charlotte before we move forward with this whole having a family thing (check…kids can continue to wait).
This is your year, so enjoy it, and relish the fact that the suckers born on the first of the month have already been through the best year of their lives, and they don’t even remember it.
Look at you, already throwing down on The Year of Meck with your grad school feedback and your improved Wii Fit age (side note: check my blog for impressions on EA Sports Active, way better than Wii Fit).
Also, you can rent a car now! Hooray!
Happy Birthday Meck! Hope you continue to have a wonderful day!!
