26

Today I'm 26.

Today I got what may be the first card I've ever gotten from my parents that made me feel ... well, anything.

Usually they seem to wind up with very generic cards, or funny cards. Likely spoken from their hearts, with all the right sentiments, but nonetheless, generic.

What they sent me today was a Hallmark ecard. The card is animated, and it contained messages like, "Be yourself," "Trust your gut," "Be sassy," "Be unique," etc. It stressed individuality and independence and positive aggressive behaviour. It resonated. You can see it here, but you'll have to skip the ad.

Anyway. Good morning all! I'm back at work, and only mildly nauseous. Still unclear what the mysterious nausea is, but if it persists, I will probably start doing experiments with the food I eat to see what kind of impact that has.

Yay for ten hour work days on your birthday!

And now for a TRULY important poll

I have my priorities, man. Like being an attention whore on my birthday.

So, the question is, which am I?
[Poll #837699]

I also challenge those of you who are particularly bored to make me user icons riffing on any of these themes (ie. a Danae kitty, bunny, cabbit, fairy, princess, or cabbit fairy princess).

I will be particularly impressed if anyone succeeds at making a tasteful cabbit fairy princess that actually speaks "Danae." :)

Another Gay Marriage poll

The Globe and Mail (Canada's equivalent to the NYT, for any Americans reading this) is conducting a poll on how people feel about gay marriage, given that the conservatives here are vowing to re-open the question. Currently, the people against are winning by a large margin.

To vote, visit the Globe and Mail's main web page here; the poll is about midway down the page, on the right.
