April 5th was a beautiful day in San Diego. The morning sun was shining, the smell of French Toast was in the air, and was officially entering into my mid-twenties.
I had an amazing breakfast with loved ones and started to open the few gifts laying on the table. One was being a little stubborn so I got some scissors to help me out. The blade slipped in my hand, sliced my finger, and now I have five new birthday stitches. Yay!
Thanks to everyone who remembered my birthday in the previous comments. You are too kind.

April 9th, 2008 at 11:14 amDude, what better birthday present is there than a potential scar!
I have a pretty groovy one on my arm, but it wasn’t on my birthday, rats. Maybe another comment from you would make up for that. Ha just kidding.
Hope you had a good one, nonetheless.
Rachel
April 9th, 2008 at 1:16 pmOuch man! Glad you are a-okay. Welcome the world of “mid-twenties” (although I’m pretty sure you’re my age–23–which I think to be more early twenties). Either way, it’s a pretty fun ride! Happy belated.

April 16th, 2008 at 10:34 amTheres a meeting that meets every Thursday, at 7 called “Accident Prone Annonymous” we think you should attend! Do I detect some sarcasium in this entry? Did you just cheer about a cut? I know the feeling! So what was worth that lovely cut?
