Happy Birthday To Me (and Mildred)

Egad.

Thirty five - Thirty five! - years ago today I was born.

Eep.

Did I mention I'm now

35

years old? :-)

They're getting me cake later today at work. And there's a little party in a few weeks, as I may have mentioned... :-)

And, just over ten years ago... August the 28th of 1996 in fact... I started a character on Piercing Mildred, one of the original online games. The rules are fairly simple: every week they have a contest for some stupid prize, and if you don't look after your character for more than three weeks it gets deleted... So in other words, I've clicked on my character at least once every three weeks... For the last decade.

Sad.

I've never been more than a few weeks away from a net connection for all of the last decade. Longer in fact.



The Mildred site was down for a while there, otherwise I've made more of fuss a month or so back.

Happy birthday to me... Happy birthday to meeeee....

Happy birthday to Mildred... you sad fuck.

One of Us... One of Us....

My good friend Hazel has finally got herself a journal!

Those of you who know who I'm talking about, go friend ok_i_give_in

I spent some of the lunch hour of my 35th birthday... In a comic book store. Growing up? Who needs it? :-)

Hmmmm.... sad and nerdy...
