Belated Birthday Thoughts: Happy Birthday to Me and Thanks to You :comments
Posted by Hal
Okay so since I've been back from holidays I've been working pretty much frantically (which means for me missing the occasional nap) to get the Peep book done. Everything else has been pushed aside. In a few more days, the super duper newly updated and edited version will go to my editor. Then I'll be back to updating more frequently and consistently.
In the meantime, my birthday was last week! W. bought me a cool new jacket/sweater thingie - hard to describe but i picked it out so obviously i dig it. I will wear it soon and take a quick webcam shot so you can see if you like it. E. made me a card depicting a monster and fire. Not counting the cards from W and E, I got 2 birthday cards, 3 birthday phone calls (not counting relatives), 2 birthday emails, 5 Facebook birthday messages, and 61 Facebook birthday wall posts. I think I would have gotten more wall posts but FB turned off the wall posts function for a while fearing that I was the victim of some kind of spam attack or something.
Anyway, for all who sent me birthday wishes, thank you for helping me turn 38 years old. It was great to hear from everybody.
So how do I feel about turning 38? I haven't really been paying much attention to my age over the last 5 years or so. The 30s are kind of a blur I guess. Turning 38 snapped me out of it a bit. 2 years to 40! I need to be paying attention to my glory days here before I completely miss them.
So here are a few things I've noticed about Hal at 38: I'm still immature, but not as big of an asshole as I used to be. (Could it be I've developed a capacity to consider other people's feelings?) I get tired more. I don't - and can't - drink as much booze as I did in the good old days. I like routine. I dislike spending money. I'll eat just about anything including pieces of meat E. drops on the floor.
That's me at 38. More soon.
40 is not as bad as you might think . . . It’s worse. Enjoy 38.

When it says it’s someones birthday on facebook I always wish them a happy birthday. But when it comes to my birthday some people don’t say anything. Should I keep wishing them a happy b-day anyway?

My favourite place for me to go is Malta too as my twin sister got married a Maltese guy and lives there. I miss her a lot and I visit Malta quite often (twice a year, Summer hols and Christmas hols).

When given gifts, we are to always be thankful whether we like the gift or not. The old saying is that it is the thought that counts.
