Help
It's my birthday in two days, and I only know this because when I checked the expiration date on my eggs when I made pancakes this afternoon, I noticed that I should eat them by August 18th, and I checked the date on my watch and it was the 16th, and I was all like, 22 in 2 days, omgs.
I suppose it's because I've been so busy that I've not been paying attention to how close my birthday really is since I've been under stress with finals and a lot of crap my college likes to do to all their students and I really would have missed my birthday completely had I not received notice that I need to renew my driver's license very soon and so I'll be driving back home tomorrow to do so.
In any case, I don't think that 22 is really that big a deal except that it's a product of two primes, which I appreciate, but beyond that it's fairly meaningless as an age and as a number, since there are no legal ramifications and 22 has very few mathematical properties due to its previously mentioned factors.
Well thanks for stopping by to read my run-on sentences about my upcoming birthday and its various implications to both my life in general and is mathematical significance which of course those who know me would not be surprised that I think about more than most people probably would.
A series of run-on sentences pretaining to my upcoming birthday

Well 22 may not have meening for you but it will for me when it's my 22nd.
The date will be: 2012/02/02 and I'll be 22 years old. It was more meaningful when I turned 12 as it was, 2002/02/02. Two is my favorite number (I'm sure it's alot of peoples) and I think that was my chinese zodiac year as well... Ah the good times roll. Oh yeah Two Jacks is my real nickname. It's also fun to share a birthday with a super big holliday such as ground hog's day.
Ok you lil' rodent what's the weather for this season?
Enough about me, Happy birthday or as the preschoolers say it, Hippo Birdday! Another year, another set of memories, I hope they were mostly good ones.

I've been 22 for the better part of a year now and can tell you that it's even less exciting than you might think it is.

23 is even more mundane in general. I don't really remember 24 too much, nothing really happened. 25, however, has been an exciting year.
Although, now that I think about it, 22 was fairly exciting for me, marriage and college graduation and all whatnot.
Life is, really, what you make of it in the end.

I already knew your birthday was coming up because today I was on Facebook and I happened to see the birthday listings and it was one of my good friend's birthdays today but also written in the listings was "August 18, Mark Petcavage", so I was like "Whoa, mrxak's birthday!" and then I decided that I would write on your wall or something tomorrow when I logged onto Facebook which is actually quite often because I like Facebook since it is the ultimate stalker's tool and it will help me keep in touch with my friends as we all disperse and go to college like one of my best friends who is leave tomorrow and I will miss her, but in closing of this horrifically long run on sentence I would like to wish you a happy birthday and that you should expect some sort of mildly humorous wall post from me tomorrow that will reference cak or something.

In honor of your birthday I hope it will be a very dark and stormy night your cake also should be good of course.

Let me be the first to say: Happy Birthday, old bean. I hope you have a good one.
Also, I'm pretty sure mrxak prefers cak over cake.

Heh. Is it depressing? My sister called up and told me that after 21, every birthday is depressing, according to some sort of study she read. I asked her if it was true (her being older than me by several years) and she said it wasn't.

23 is a prime. That makes it sort of special. 24 is the sum of two pairs of primes, which I certainly like. 25 is a square number, which is certainly cool. I've never been big on 11s though. Two of them is rather meh as well.

The cake will be amazing..
What kind would you like mrxak?

I got exactly the kind of cake I like. My mother makes an orange cake that's very, very good (seriously, every time she makes one for somebody they beg for the recipe), and I like round cakes more than rectangular ones, and sure enough that's what I got too.

Not really. I'm not real sure what you'd even get depressed about in regards to how old you are. It's not like you can do much about time.

If you think 25 is exciting, just wait until you get to 27. And if the thought of a cube birthday gets your heart racing, you should probably sit down for 32.

I think that's just what people get depressed about.

I can just imagine Pufer saying "Fool of a Took!" 
I think 42 would have to be the coolest birthday, for obvious reasons.

22 is something of a nothing on to me. I feel no different now than I did yesterday...
