happy birthday warren. i can't see the picture, but i've probably seen it before, in real life.

i purchased a small birthday gift for the both of you that i meant to send sometime between your respective birthdays, but that's obviously not going to happen. its just something useful that io thought you'd both like...but anyway, this post has reminded me to take it out of m closet and send it tomorrow when i go to the post office to pick up a bunch of stuff my mom sent me. excellent.

Birthday Blues

[manic_geisha]

I can understand a little. I hate birthdays...but I do look very much 18 too.

It could be worse, Jarrod turns 27 in a couple of weeks...god, thats old.

i think it's not so much the actual age or number but it's the baggage that comes with it - "settling down" or nesting, having kids, etc. i don't plan on having children until my thirties if at all but i know as i grow older, it's going to come up more and more.

I suppose that is always nagging me at the back of my mind. Your older now quit dressing like a kid, be more responsibile. I am not sure if its all a time bomb waiting to go off. I think its just going to happen but I don't know when.

anyhow, kids in your thirties is tuff. Higher chance of problems during pregnancy and the older the eggs are the more developmental problems a baby can have. My dad also says you'll be too old once they finally move out.

But that was my plan too. But my fuckhead doctors like pissing me off by not giving me birthcontrol. And they still won't!

I am a very strange mood.

i wouldn't want to try to have children in my late thirties but in my early thirties (before 35). i've heard that the older the woman is when she is conceiving, the greater the chances of complications, etc.

i don't think i would be the best parent possible at this time in my life. i have shit to sort out!

[dammit_spock]

being 26 isn't so bad. but really. shouldn't i be farther along than this? shouldn't i have a life??

but it was a nice day. thanks.

[doubleindemnity]

fuck off. don't talk to me about being further along!

i don't have an undergraduate degree and i barely have a job. i have a massive student debt with nothing to show for it. i'm surrounded by white trash.

[jets_to_japan]

You don't need a degree to open an amazing little cafe/vintage/crafts shop... I'm toying with the name "Pipe Dream" but I think it sounds too much like a place where they sell marijuana paraphenalia ......

*Also I scored an original teal fiesta ware pitcher at a garage sale this weekend for $7!*

[doubleindemnity]

oooh! i love garage sales. i think i missed the big church rummage sale this past weekend.

that's a great score!

i want to try to find the glass basket, stem and lid for my pyrex percolater (i love it so much). i have all the other pieces for a second perc but not those.

i found a fully functioning, mint condition, 16 mm/double 8 camera this weekend for $4

what's happening, perhaps.

where are you hosting the photo? if it's at, say, yahoo pictures or yahoo briefcase, then you will not be able to "hot-link" it here due to (a) it's programmed in to be banned, and (b) we're not signed into that account in which it's hosted.

you should be able to see it after you fix the link because the photo is viewable by you (because you've signed in) and also because the photo is already in your temporary internet files directory.

have a party, or celebrate with a nice sadies or julie doiron concert.

and try to convince rick white to stay and play at the JD show. maybe.

Re: what's happening, perhaps.

[doubleindemnity]

you read my mind! i was going to post, asking those with more internet tooling around experience about this broken link crap. i kind of thought it was because i was trying to host it on yahoo photos. i thought that's where you host your photos.

i would delete the cache just to see and sometimes it would work (show the photo) and other times, it wouldn't show.

i think i'll have to get a photobucket account because i have photos to host for my ebay auctions. dude, i'm selling off my youth.

can't remember if there's a sadies show coming up though bryan saw them on the weekend in toronto and i don't know if i'm going to the julie show.

Re: what's happening, perhaps.

[analogtodigital]

Sadies are playing CTO this Friday with Rick White.

Re: what's happening, perhaps.

[daintybear]

i'm going to see them here on rememberance day. xiu xiu tomorrow night, just down the street. fun.
