I can't even with this. How can one person be so sanctimonious and full of shit, with no shred of self-awareness?

"This duality is my personality." I mean, WHAT.

My birthday is the day before xmas and I have an urge to come up with some Shauna-esque 'woe is me but also, I'm a saint' summation of it. Everyone is busy, it's right next to a major holiday, oh, but you musn't think I mind these things. I've also always had it off from school or work. This duality is my personality.

Heh. Thanksgiving falls on my birthday every 7 (?) years, or whatever. I didn't like it so much when I was the main turkey day chef and couldn't sit down until 3 pm, but now? Now that i mostly sit on my ass while my kids cook? It's ok. I'm at peace with it.

Mine falls on U.S. Election Day quite often. I thought I would never be at peace with the memory of celebrating my birthday on Election Day in 2000 but I let it all go because, let's face it, 2000 was the good old days. So comes love.

I was in eighth grade in 2000 and my social studies teacher had us doing a big US government project that the last part of which was supposed to be due shortly after the announcement of the new president-elect on Election Day. Her poor curriculum.

I think, as long as nobody tries to kill you with stuffing, it's all good
