The SO's birthday is coming up in a few days and he can't commit to what he wants to do. He's got a history of having miserable birthdays and I'm afeard we're headed that way again. Trip to Tucson? To Moab? Party with the local friends? Dinner out with friends, because of dog allergy? Quiet dinner at home (I bought steaks)? He can't decide.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

"I'm good. What's up?"
Heh. Sounds like a plan.
Of course, it's a measure of how bored I am that I'm actually responding to random e-mails from people I don't know.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
skipped!

I have to do the math to figure out how old I am. That's been true since I turned 21, I think. At some point I must've killed off the braincell that automatically keeps track.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
When I was 15, a guy once actually spit out his drink in surprise when I told him my age, because he'd thought I was college-age. Now people tend to think I'm about 10 years younger than I am, and I enjoy the hell out of telling them I'm 43.
Happy Birthday to Awesome Kathy!

Hee! This same thing happened to me.
Now, people generally think I'm younger than I am. I think it's because of my voice and weight. One of the very few positive things about being overweight is that it does tend to keep the wrinkles away.

Happy Birthday Kathy!
I'm your birthday twin, but I haven't done anything nearly as awesome as your weightloss achievement.
It's apparently a popular birthday time; I just got back from a dinner, and at one point we discovered that all 8 of the people talking (Greeks, Brits, and USians) were born between March 5 and March 25.

Punishingly Intricate
I think people would not be so surprised at my age if I grew my grey out. It's totally taken over this past year. I like grey hair but I'm thinking my hair color now (black!) is my OTHaircolor. I think i'll keep doing this until i'm a way old lady.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty
However, Sean, fucker that he is, stood in my kitchen the other day and commented: "You're getting quite a lot of salt and pepper in your hair, huh?"
Your maddening refusal to grow a gut like all decent men of your age is mitigated by your abundance of gray hair.
I merely follow the moral imperative that compels me to point this out to you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister's had the same face for a very long time. We have neither attic nor cellar, so I don't know where she keeps the portrait. At about 13 or 14 it froze. 20 years later, she looks about the same. For a very long time, new people would always peg her as the older sister. Even when I looked my age, she looked older. An undefinable older, but older.
