Aspies For Freedom

Like it says...

I was born in Melbourne, Feb. 17th 1978. And that means twenty nine years ago next week.

(yikes)

29 isn't so bad. My mum always said that she never wanted to get to 30.

Anyway happy birthday for next week nyanchan!!

Thanks.

An early orange for you sir!

Happy birthday, may you have 10 billion more.

And may your friends and beloved have 10 billion more as well.

Because being the only immortal sucks like hell.

And 2+9=7 which is a lucky number. And the next is 30. And 3+0=3 which is also a lucky number. And that's half of 60, which is the luckiest age in Japan.

Now 29 makes me happy. I've stopped feeling physically older at birthdays - can't remember exactly when. Maybe 14? 15? 16?

Yup. (nyanchan lowers head in shame for getting simple sums wrong.) But to be fair, I did have a rather painful run-in with an iron pole yesterday morning.

OUCH! *passes the ibuprofen*  Hope your head is OK, do get it checked out immediately if you have any dizziness or other symptoms, and if I don't see you before Saturday, happy 29th!

Well, it seems that the monkey is better at doing sums than I am...

Actually, it's a quote from "My Hero" (sitcom)

Happy birthday, NyanChan.

Thanks. Today was fun!!! I went on the choo-choo and saw lots of sheep (with their tails still on) and ate takoyaki in town and went to the kiwi bird park and saw kiwi and tuatara and watched "the Queen" at the cinema and got yummy meatlover pizza. And shopped. Later tonight I wanna watch "Oliver Twist" on the telly and tomorrow I plan to sleep in and "recover" (Too much pizza and junk food in belly)

I celebrated my 23rd birthday last week.  And I do feel older.

Has anyone else found that when you get older, some of your relatives stop buying you birthday presents?  This year I received no gifts from 2 of my aunts, just cards.  When I opened the cards, I was surprised to find no cheques or gift vouchers enclosed.

When something like that happens to me, I tend to worry about it as I am a very sensitive person.  I was worried that maybe I had done something to upset my aunts.  But I spoke to my step-dad about it, and he said that it's normal that once a child reaches adulthood and goes out to work, some of their relatives will stop buying presents, although you will still continue to get presents from immediate family-members, such as your parents and siblings etc.

Yep. That's true. I also find I am more inclined to buy presents for my friends' kids than my friends themselves.

Hey NyanChan
Hope you had a good one
29 is a significant age (saturn return, astrologically speaking)--marks the transition into adulthood.
