As I begrudgingly cross the perilous rubicon of my 44th year today, I am struck that while technically older, I seem to still be grappling with the complexion of a teenager and the splenetic disposition of a disconsolate octogenarian. As such, I'm taking this very silly survey below. Find the original here, if you are so inclined.
How many birthdays have you celebrated so far?
Until today? 43.
When is your next one coming up?
After today, a year from now.
If you could get anything, realisticly speaking, what would you ask for?
Financial security. Failing that, I'd love a fish-eye lens for my digital Canon.
If you could ask for something magic or like superpowers, which kind?
Clairvoyance might be nice.
Who do you want to be with during your birthdays?
Wife and kids
How do you plan to celebrate your upcoming birthday?
Nothing special. Laughter and beer will handily suffice.
What was the worst present you ever got on a birthday?
I find that it's best not to dwell on such trivialities. I was privileged to be given a present in the first place, so why by churlish about it?
What was the worst birthday fiasco you ever had?
Taking this stupid survey.
Did you ever purposely give someone a crappy gift?
If by purposefully you mean spitefully, no, but I've certainly given gifts that I knew were sub-par.
Who would you never ever ever want to attend your birthday?
Members of the Westboro Baptist Church.
What was the best birthday present youve ever received?
Oh, there have been several great ones. I don't want to call any single one out, lest I hurt someone's feelings.
What was the best birthday youve ever had?
Well, apart from some "Planet of the Apes"-themed parties my mom threw me when I was a kid, I'd say my 40th was pretty great... despite turning 40.
Why was it so great?
Wife threw me a big party. I was surrounded by my friends.
What is your fave birthday activity, even if you havent done it (yet)?
Not entirely sure I have one.
Who would you love to come to your birthday to celebrate with you?
What did your family do to celebrate your birth?
Lit candles and prayed for divine forgiveness.
What happened for your sweet 16th birthday?
Probably popped a few choice zits and listened to Iron Maiden, in all honesty.
What happened for your 21st birthday?
Probably popped a few choice zits and listened to the Jesus & Mary Chain, in all honesty.
Would you be okay with dying on your birthday?
Not today, preferably.
Pick someone you really really love: What would you get them for their birthday if you could give them anything?
Peggy, and absolutely anything she wanted.
Pick someone you really really hate: What would you do to spoil their birthday plans if you could?
Why worry about it?
