It's been wonderful at my new place. Being on my own, away from distraction, and utterly alone...okay, so none of those are actually true thanks to my other half, but hey, it's the thought that counts, right? XD

On that note, I bring this to you now because we are currently here at my parent's place for the night. My love decided that we were too tired to drive across town back to our apartment so we're here tonight. Why? Well, normally the answer would be something along the lines of "we needed our laundry done" or "we wanted to visit for awhile". But today, on the 3rd day of August, that reason is my birthday. That's right...I am now 23 years of age. That's a hard pill to swallow when my other half is now 2 years younger then me and waves it in my face like it's a banner of pride. For lack of a better explanation (and to spare you my TRUE feelings) I feel old.

I requested this week off from work so I can have my birthday week off...time I can use to be spoiled to death by my better half...who, by the way, suggested all of it. I'd rather be off making money for us to survive on but that will be less "needed" for this month's rent. My landlord decided to give us a discount on this month's rent. As it turns out, we were overcharged last bill - a fact I failed to notice in the haste to get the nearly late bill out. So we only have to pay a little under less then half of the rent. Now THAT'S good business. Needless to say, we're staying there another month or so more then planned.

For my illustrious day of birth I ended up getting money, Rock Band Track Pack 2, Force Unleashed, and a SHITLOAD of X-Box Live Gamer Points from a correlation of my friends and family. A successful birthday if I do say so myself. Especially since I didn't even expect to get anything this year XD. Hell, I nearly forgot about the damn thing myself until about five days ago. The ever important question from my better half arose..."what do you want for your birthday on Monday?".

I decided to stay up late and lost interest in Tetris...so I decided to come here and pop this little tid bit on. Oh, and as for the fans of my comics, CR will be updating within the week and you might even be surprised with a Katt's Eyes update. Who knows.

Keep it real, my friends.
