Happy birthday to me! (And many of you too.)
I am a quarter of a century old today. It feels at once like quite a lot and hardly anything at all. Twenty-five years, and still straddling the border between adolescence and adulthood.
...That's about all I've got; for once, I'm not feeling particularly maudlin or even introspective. Perhaps it has to do with just having returned from a relaxing and fun week with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
synn, jumping straight back into work today, not having too much time in which to brood, and/or becoming naturally less, rather than more, morbid with age.
To celebrate, there will be fic later. It's not new, exactly -- I'm still working on the two stories due in August -- but rather that long story I mentioned on the 1st, soon to be unlocked. Nothing says happy birthday like an inbox full of comments, right?
Also! Very happy birthdays to those of you who are celebrating/have celebrated around now:synn, purrlia, firestorm717, alisel_kat (much belated), elynross -- am I missing someone?
Last year, I invited all of you to tell the stories of your usernames. You are still invited to chip in over there. This year, I will merely be a geek and list some celebrities who share(d) my birthday: George Bernard Shaw, Aldous Huxley, Carl Jung, Stanley Kubrick, André Maurois, Mick Jagger, Nana Visitor (Kira on ST:DS9), Helen Mirren, Kevin Spacey, Sandra Bullock and Kate Beckinsale. How strange the ways in which we feel connected to people.

Twenty-six was the traumatic birthday for me, because it meant I could no longer get a youth membership to hostels
Oh dear, yes, that's sad. When I couldn't get discounts at museums and travel agencies and things anymore, I said to myself, Self, you'll just have to enroll in grad school so you can get a valid student ID.
