I put the Oh in October



Today's my birthday.

Yay for childbirth and chocolate cake!

I made a wish to write a novel so great, it would have to be published.

Spent the day with my family. Getting happy. Writing. And here I am: happy and writing. Spending time with myself and my friends.

Life doesn't have to be so sad.

I can write a novel so good, it deserves to be published.

I deserve to be happy. Loved. Twenty-three with my eyes open wide. Come on, I scream across the universe, smiling, I'm ready when you are. Let's get famous! Stay happy! Eat cake! Have sweet dreams of more birthdays to come. For everyone!

October First is mine. :)

Happy Birthday, Dearest Ash! I like the number twenty-three; there's something comforting about the sequential digits: two followed by a three...

So here's Sufjan's "Happy Birthday," a song I'm sure that he wrote for just this occasion:

Like the lantern on a tree
Your burden bright as weary be
Periwig on parakeet
You're God's great paramour and sweet

I'm happy, I'm happy
Your birthday brings a pardoning
I'm happy, I'm happy
You're like a bird that will not be

Yours will number, yours will be
A paragon, a Paraclete
Keep your bed warm, keep your humor
Keep your proverbs short and sweet

I'm sorry, I'm sorry
That life is anxious, life is mean
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
A pair of shoes is what you need

I'm happy, I'm happy
Your birthday brings a pardoning
I'm happy, I'm happy
You're like a bird that will not be
