Birthdays and other such observations

So yesterday was my 33rd birthday. I don't know about you, but I am terribly excited about 30 days leading up to my birthday and then the anxiety begins to kick in oh, I would say a day or two before. Birthdays, as New Years day are always a little bit if a let down for me. I feel too much pressure to entertain in any circumstance where I happen to be the focal point. So much so, that I will make sure to cut the night short and keep the drinking to a minimum. Perhaps that comes with old age? Or perhaps, it's due to my neurosis. (As you and I get more acquainted you will learn more about my neurosis.)  Anyhow. I took a handful of friends over to http://www.austinrollerrink.com/. Of course no one had gone rollerskating in years and years and that is why it was both fun and funny. The rink itself was a bit of a let down (as most things are in life) and I made sure to yelp about it. I have been on quite a yelp kick lately. What the hell did we do before yelp?

anyway. My point in signing up for this blog today was to express my feeling on free BBQ. Today at work we had some free BBQ. Up until the minute I was informed there was free BBQ I was not hungry. Once I knew there was BBQ and fixings up for the taking I felt famished. I could not get enough. I snuck a plate and tucked it away under a file folder in my office for later (it is my unprofessional opinion that hiding food for yourself is never ever a healthy action) - with zero regard for others who may have not had any yet. What a selfish bitch! Hoarding food as if it's the last I may ever see. Perhaps this is a survival of the fittest? An example of Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection? I am going for the hoarding bitch route.  On that note - I am going to go watch the tube.
