nostomanic: My Birthday

Yesterday was my 28th birthday, peeps! I did it! I've officially lived longer than Jimi Hendrix! I think that's pretty impressive. Especially when you consider the fact that I just got health insurance after 3 years without coverage.

It's also the two year anniversary of this blog! I did it! I've officially been blogging longer than Jimi Hendrix! Anyway, thank you, errbody. I really appreciate your hilarious comments and I'm glad your folks decided to have sex the day you were conceived. This song is for you from me and Jon B featuring Babyface:

My goals for this, my 28th year of life, are to (a) survive (b) continue blogging and (c) become BFF with Matthew McConaughey. Matt and I share a b-day and if we become BFF, November 4, 2012 has the potential to be rad.

First, I'd help Matt work on his abs, delts, and glutes during one of his impromptu, open-air exercise sessions.

Then, we'd invite Sam Rockwell over and taunt him for being born on Nov. 5 instead of Nov. 4 (like most cool people).

We'd end the day with nude bongo playing.

I have small boobs.

Once again, thanks for reading, commenting, following, etc. J.K. livin', you guys, j.k. livin'.

Why is today super special for me and these three dudes?

It's our birthday!

You can really judge how much of a nerdburger you are by the gifts you receive on your birthday. My boyfriend got me this...

Star Wars toaster! It makes your bread evil...

Don't worry. I killed the toast with the force...of my teeth...

My mom bought me this balloon...

...which I muderlized in an epic lightsaber duel (using my handy, purple Mace Windu lightsaber). My mom also had these cookies made for me...

Another reason why today is super special is because it's this blog's first anniversary. I've always been fickle and these days my attention span seems to be getting shorter and shorter, so it's hard to believe that I've been able to keep up this blog for this long. I think that it's because of all of you guys--your support, hilarious comments, etc.--that I've been able to keep doing this. So I just want to thank everyone for reading and not unfollowing me after I drew that picture of Waldo holding the communist manifesto. Just by reading the comments you leave for me, I can tell that you're all infinity times smarter, funnier, and sexier than the readers of most other blogs.

To celebrate your awesomeness, I've decided to give out some awards. Now, these awards don't come with any rules. You don't have to give them to five other bloggers or link back to me. You can post them on your blog or your sidebar if you want but I'd be just as happy if you posted them on your heart.

The Woody Allen Neurotic Blog Love Award

1. Soft Nonsense--This dude's friggin' cool. He also seems to be very handsome.
