This morning, right outside the door to my apartment was a cake, homemade by my upstairs neighbor, with a note: “It’s your birthday. Eat cake for breakfast!” And did I ever.
Its a chocolate cake, of course, which means that it fits in nicely with the birthday dietary restrictions I decided on yesterday: on my birthday, I will only eat chocolate, sushi and ham.
So far so good.
I keep getting these really sweet emails and phone calls asking me what plans I have for my birthday - the answer is that I’m writing my goddamn term papers, and no it is not a fun way to spend my birthday. I had 25 pages of writing due today, and I’ve got another 25 pages due tomorrow. I am about 5 pages shy of complete. This means that by this time tomorrow, I’ll have written 50 pages in the last two weeks. And I will be done with my master’s coursework and “only” have to write my thesis. So close I can taste it. Tomorrow, I will have something to celebrated. Until then, I remain in front of my computer, highly caffeinated. Where’s my ham sandwich?

Happy birthday doll. I know what it’s like to be busy on your birthday. I’m sure you’ll have much fun when you finally do get out and celebrate.

Happy belated birthday! Hope you got nice and crunk! But you should be careful of mixing strong foods in your system. They’ll give you crazy dreams.
Unless…that’s what you WANT to have happen!

Happy birthday beautiful!
I did a quick check and found you share your birthday with Charles Richter - how fitting since you are a force of nature!
Get out from behind the computer if only for a little while and have a great bday!

Chocolate, sushi, and ham. Now that’s a plan worth following. Happy belated birthday! It’s tomorrow and you now have something to celebrate, possibly by going into a coma. Congratulations on seeing it through, and surviving another year in the process…
