Growing Older


Rating: NSS
Dave Barry
says that there comes a time when you should stop expecting people to make a big deal over your birthday, and that time is 11. I stopped a long time ago, but I think I'm subconciously still hoping. I guess I've always been a little neurotic about my birthday--I think it's a birth order thing. (That and the fact that my grandparents always left town about the time of my birthday every year when I was younger.)

I turned 30 with much kicking and screaming, figuratively, that is. I don't like getting older, thank you society, so being past 30 is not a treat for me. They say it's better than the alternative, but I don't know. I liked the book The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I just can't imagine it being made into a movie.

I've given up cake anyway; it's not on my diet--that isn't to say that I won't use my free Coldstone coupon, let's not get ridiculous. I just don't expect certain siblings to call, that's all. Oh well--we can't always get what we want; otherwise I would have my Darth Tater by now. . .

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The West
 

Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.
