Yay, go me! I'm 21 today and although birthdays shouldn't really mean anything, I am H.A.P.P.Y!!!
The best part of officially turning one year older is obviously being submerged by presents, especially considering that my parents were awesomely nice this year and gave me this:

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[kimuro]

(to tune of Volga Boatman)

Happy Birthday {UGH!}
Happy Birthday {UGH!}

Now you've aged another year, don't you feel that Death is near.

Happy Birthday {UGH!}
Happy Birthday {UGH!}

Doom and gloom and dark despair, now's not time to fix your hair.

Happy Birthday {UGH!}
Happy Birthday {UGH!}

Burn the castle, storm the keep, kill the folks but save the sheep.

Happy Birthday {UGH!}
Happy Birthday {UGH!}

May the candles on your cake burn like cities in your wake.

Happy Birthday {UGH!}
Happy Birthday {UGH!}

Soon your hair will all turn grey and then fall out (or so they say).

Happy Birthday {UGH!}
Happy Birthday {UGH!}

When you've reached this age, you know, the mind, they say, 's the first {mumble}

Happy Birthday {UGH!}
Happy Birthday {UGH!}

LOL, and just think, in another year or so your parents will give up entirely on any expectations of "maturity", at least in your requests for presents....or at least my mum has. eventually people learn to accept that you're not going to conform to any standards unless by accident and just enjoy your childlike glee at simple things like shiny stones and animated periodic tables, or, whatever your particular fancies include.

I picked up an r2d2 mini "laptop" for my niece that, I confess, even though its functions are in the main limited to things like basic alphabet exercises, numbers, and shapes, I still played with in the store making people stare with my unabashed displays of joy.

"we do not stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing."

This quote is really something to live by.
I think my mother is slowly starting to realize that there's no way I'll ever be a "real" grown-up, even if it's not too much to her liking. At least I'm lucky enough to be quite well understood by my father who can be incredibly childish in his own way.

And I can't possibly fathom how anyone could fail to see the sheer awesomeness in shiny stones, r2d2 mini games consoles or animated periodic tables. ;)

Thank you my dear! :D
(and no worries, I'm often late for birthdays myself)
