Happy birthday to me

I am 25 today.

When I was little, I always wanted to be older, mostly because I wanted to be able to stay up late and watch TV. Like many wee young'uns, I also wanted to be able to drive. And drink. Not at the same time, of course. I wanted to be able to work and not have to go to school, so that I could make money and buy my own clothes without having to justify them to my mom. I thought being grown-up would be way more fun than being a kid.
