Write to live, live to write.


AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY Tuesday, December 2, 2008


Today is a very special day.
It's the day I finally turn thirteen.
Yes, it took a long time coming, but it finally came. Whoopee.
What does it feel like, to be one year older? Nothing, really, seeing as I was already 12 years and 365 days old yesterday.
The great thing about having a birthday is you get to get everything you want. I woke up at seven odd, we went cycling at ten, had a whopping Billy Bombers lunch after that (Usually I finish all my pasta, but this time it was just too much.) and a big, seven bucks odd worth of cookie and cream milkshake. Then we got to watch two episodes of BoB (Day of Days and Carentan, if anyone's interested) and now we get to use the com.
Whoopee. Mind blowing birthday. By the way, just for the heck of it, Arunima was the first one to wish me happy birthday; congratulations, and no, you don't win a prize. Eugene was the second one, and the third's still taking their time.
If you think I'm complaining, however, think again. I'm fine with people not wishing me happy birthday (even though it's a once a year experience). Doesn't really matter anyway, I'm not complaining (even though I very obviously am). I myself forgot all about it until two days ago (and started wondering why no one remembered).
My parents are getting a cake now. I hope it's an oreo cheesecake, haven't eaten that for ages. And now, off to work. If you thought I was going to waste time moaning to you blokes, think again.

1942: First splitting of the atom! (I think I've advertised this a whole lot now.)

~Quote of the Day~
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.
-Bill Halsey, the George Patton of the Navy, sounding uncannily similar to BoB's "There once was a time when the world asked ordinary men to do extraordinary things" motto.
