    Re: Is Sharing A Room With Siblings Hard?

    Today was my Birthday and I spent it doing what I enjoy doing most: Working here. Yes, I know that's all sappy and crap, but it's true. I can't imagine what I'd rather be doing for the day. Sure if I took a week or two off I could come up with a HUUUUUGE list, but the day? Blogging, gaming, chatting... sounds like fun.

    I spent yesterday reminiscing with my Mom about my early childhood for some reason. We were on the phone for like two hours talking about things that happened when I was growing up. My childhood was NOT uneventful. Two most interesting facts?

    1. I remember once finding a human heart on our lawn in Thailand. I don't recall finding a human leg out there. My mom insists it turned up one day and that our maid called the nearby hospital asking them to fetch it and then stored it for them by tucking it away, hip-down, in a flower pot.
    2. At one point I had a platelet count of exactly ZERO. And yes, I survived.

    Off to dinner with the fam. Mexican, beers, Mexican Beers!!
