Hey, why can't every day be my birthday?
 
lying about it won't give you much credibility, especially here...

It isn't lying if I do it so poorly, is it? Especially if I leave this thread up and running...

Oh look, is it my birthday again so soon?!?

Kerrie, I'm not used to this side of you...you seem pretty stressed out lately. Would you like for tomorrow to be YOUR birthday? It might make you feel better.

This is the General Board, I've left that silly "ask a stupid question" thread open, why would I lock this one? The only threads that get locked are ones in which people start attacking each other. Are you planning on calling me a ****, *****, or ************?:wink:

What mentor "powers" am I exploiting, anyways...and do they make me MORE sexy and irresistable, or LESS sexy and irresistable?

Did you miss that joke too, Kerrie? *hangs head in shame* I must be losing my touch! I guess that's what happens when you are over the hill like me...maybe I can go back and make myself 29 again?!?
