I lie about my age
So my birthday is coming up in less then two months and I have been lying about my age for almost a full year. It’s not because I need to get into bars, try and pick up older women (or younger) nor is it because I really want to be on the next MTV Real World season. It’s because I forgot how old I was.
No joke.
I found an email from December of last year that shows my first offense. Since that time when at family functions or out with friends and people ask how old I am or we joke about who the oldest is I would tell everyone I was 28; even though I just turned 27. This summer it came up in one of my classes when one girl was talking about how she felt so old in her classes and made a joke about being at the University for almost 10 years…I chimed in that I was in the same boat and mentioned I was 28.
If that wasn’t funny enough for you, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this next part.
My blogger profile shows I am 27 along with a few other websites. I thought that all of these sites were messed up and using years instead of actually calculating birthdays or they had some year 2000 bug still unchecked. Yea, I thought they were calculating it incorrectly. So a few weeks ago I noticed it again in my blogger profile and I decided that was it…I was going to report the bug. First (thankfully) I got out the trusty calculator and figured out my age. 27. Maybe I did something wrong…I check it again. 27. Then the memories come back of all the times I said I was 28.
Needless to say that since then I have to think when someone asks me how old I am because I have two ages now. I also have been writing my birthday as the current date; so I would put 09/21/2005 as my birthday if you asked me to write it down.
On the positive side, I’ll be 28 for another year!

A soldier meets a pirate in a bar, and the talk turns to their adventures. The soldier notes that the pirate has a peg leg, a hook and an eye patch.
“How did you end up with a peg leg?” he asks.
The pirate replies, “I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. As my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off.”
“Wow!” says the soldier. “What about your hook?”
“Well,” answers the pirate, “we were boarding a ship when one of the enemy hacked off my hand.”
“Incredible. How’d you get the eye patch?”
“A grapefruit squirted in my eye,” the pirate replies.
“You lost your eye to grapefruit juice?”
“Well,” says the pirate, “it was my first day with the new hook.”

Don’t you need a love first, before you can rock the love boat? I suppose you could have a lover’s quarrel with yourself, but it really would not be that productive -not that a lover’s quarrel is ever productive. Blah. Boring.
“Don’t rock the love boat just because you’re feeling a touch cantankerous, or it could be a totally unnecessary case of passenger overboard. There’s a time and a place for a big discussion, so make sure this absolutely needs discussing before you march in and announce it’s time for a state-of-the-union address. Current aggressive astrological influences could trigger a full-scale war from a minor disagreement, so you might want to save it for later.”
