Blademaster, you were homeschooled? Please tell me your family didn't use that appalling A Beka Book curriculum D:
Mika, I didn't know you're older than me! My 16th birthday fell in July of 2002. Better yet, my 21st birthday kind of fell on 7/7/7... technically 7/5/7, but that was a Thursday. I was sick for both my 18th and 21st birthdays >_< once with mastoiditis, my 21st with a double sinus infection/ear infection/upper respiratory infection that was so bad, I had vertigo and could barely open my eyes. I don't have much luck with birthdays. This year I'm turning 25 (!!!!!!!!) and we'll see how healthy I am this time around. Given that I usually NEVER get sick in the summer, it kind of sucks.
On that note, I have a nasty cold right now, and going into my last week of college ever. I'm not bitter about any of this, but I wish I had more exciting birthdays to talk about.
