21 years ago today...

April 9, 2007 at 10:01 PM

21 years ago today, I was born, In the Queen Victoria Hospital in Melbourne, Australia.

Yes, I'm 21 now. I think that means that I can legally drink when I go to the USA. Which I guess is a nice thing to know. Though you won't catch me drinking Bud...

I'm having a party on Friday, with the theme "Embrace the inner Geek" - dressing as anything geeky. I'm going costume shopping today, see what I can find. I am thinking of possibly a Violin playing Darth Vader:

But we'll see what I can find.

My present from my parents is a Flight over to Melbourne to see my birthplace (I left when I was 4, and haven't been back since). That'll happen later in the year (Probably June 8-11), and I'm looking forward to it.

...If only Joshua Bell had thought of the idea. Surely that would gather a crowd, even at rush-hour. ;)

Find something evil. I dare you.

I don't think evil ben has quite the same ring as evil linda...
Ben Kenobi? Is that you?
Happy Birthday. Mine is coming this weekend. I wish I'm excited about mine. At my age, I no longer hope for presents from someone else other than myself. Perhaps a concert ticket would be nice.

Have fun!

Happy birthday, Ben, and many more.
Happy Birthday Ben!
Hey, that's in my hometown! He's improved too...

Happy birthday, by the way!

Happy Birthday Ben!
ewww, Fosters :(
I'll let you in on a little secret - No-one in Australia drinks Fosters. There's such a number of much better Australian beers that we send all our Fosters to America and England.
Happy Birthday Ben!

Happy Birthday!
