I'm 26 today. I'm meeting my friends in a couple of hours, but I've been on my own in the house all day feeling bored, old and slightly depressed. Make me laugh! Show me love!

i share your age burden - but why didn't you go out today?

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Monday, 25 October 2004 16:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Did you take the day off work or something?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 25 October 2004 16:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Cheer up, wooden! Retail therapy!

(26, eh? And you say you were an English student at UEA? What year did you graduate?)

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 25 October 2004 16:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Stevem -All my friends have been unavailable - damn them and their jobs. I'm feeling really nackered today as well.

Sarah - I don't have a job.

adam - I graduated in 2001.

Omedetou gozaimasu, Wooden! And gambatte kudasai! I'm sure the day can only improve from here. (Can you tell I have a Japanese class in 20 minutes?)

Thanks, Archel San.

adam - I graduated in 2001.

Aaaah, I graduated the year before you so it is unlikely we were ever in a class together but...almost.

I have spent many birthdays alone. i don't mind it!

When you and your friends start consuming frothy beverages in a couple of hours, you won't be feeling old or knackered.
HB-day.

'Anglia' actually means 'England'.

lying in a pine box vs. lying with a Pinefox.

Today is also the anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt, if anyone's interested.

― Wooden (Wooden), Monday, 25 October 2004 16:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I suggest making up dance routines to the Top 40.

― Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Monday, 25 October 2004 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

And happy birthday indeed!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 25 October 2004 16:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Happier Birthday then!

and the charge of the Light Brigrade!

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 25 October 2004 17:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Thanks all. I'm off to get drunk now.

― Wooden (Wooden), Monday, 25 October 2004 17:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Happy Birthday! We're both cusp-y Scorpio people. You have the same birthday as Pablo Picasso, which is pretty darn cool, I think.

― Hank Tenbeer (kenan), Monday, 25 October 2004 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

In fact, you should all adjust your desktop wallpaper to commemorate the great artist:

`Forward the Light Brigade
Charge for the guns' he said
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred

110 of whom died on this date in 1854 at the battle of Balaclava.

1760 Britain's King George III ('Farmer George') succeeds his late
grandfather, George II.

If I demand, before this royal view,
What rub or what impediment there is
Why that the naked, poor, and mangled Peace,
Dear nurse of arts, plenties, and joyful births,
Should not in this best garden of the world,
Our fertile France, put up her lovely visage?

Have a thought too for the flower of French nobility slaughtered in their thousands defending their land.

732 Charles 'Martel' (The Hammer) defeats the Saracens at Poitiers.

Happy Birthday.

Hello! I'm drunk now and it's all better.

― Wooden (Wooden), Monday, 25 October 2004 22:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Yay!!

― Michael White (Hereward), Monday, 25 October 2004 22:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Feh, you're precisely 11 days younger than me, and as such deserve no fun. I hope you had a good evening in the end :)
