You know you're addicted to the forums when...

I was SO sad when I saw that the ExC forums are down temporarily! This is a catastrophe! lol, maybe this is a sign I need to spend more time OFF the internet.

1. You sorely regret the missed opportunity to debate with Antlerman whether what you wrote on his birthday cake was meant to be taken literally or metaphorically.

It depends on what one calls truth. The 28 on my cake is symbolic representation of "age". But what is age and how do we measure it? One could take the rationalist approach and look at the birth certificate and criticize the symbol on the cake as "wrong", claiming it is delusional to use the standard numbering scheme in this way. But it could easily be countered that the symbol is representative of an emotional reality, citing such common axioms as "You are as young as you feel". The literalist, rationalist would actually create a negative reality of emotional age as they irrationally using logic cross over from mere speaking of physical existence into placing limits within the more quantum-like reality of human existence where imagination creates the essence of our reality.

I am 28 years old.


P.S. I've been anxious to return to our discussion. I pray to the symbol on the cake that the content of our discussion remains intact following its resurrection to its new home in the New Jerusalem.

This is why I love you all so much.

My brain isn't functioning this morning, so I haven't the slightest idea what in all the burning hells you may have just said, but just the way you said it was both awesome and infinitely amusing.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to figuring out how I can manage to take a nap at work without getting caught by the big boss. Either that or just spontaneously pass out while cleaning one of the computer stations.

You know you're addicted when you start to consider actually writing that book instead. Although I could use the time to.... novel idea here.... look for a new job? Nah, going fishing. Will bring laptop and look for job while fishing. :)

It's my birthday. I'm 27 again. It's a miracle!

Happy B-day A-man! I just turned 29 again on Sunday!!! YAY! GLORY!

Edited to add: OMG Its a conspiracy against LEO's! They closed the Site so that they wouldn't have to send out all the happy b-day wishes to us!!! LOL :)

The power of the Leo's shall prevail and we shall set up a special "Leo's Rule" topic in the new site! (which I will pin, of course). Hopefully the lack of ExC support won't cause half of us to backslide into Christianity in the mean time! There wont be hardly anyone left there at this rate.

BTW, between Hans, you, and me, our collective age is less than 60. We the immortal ones! (or is that immoral)?

GLORY TO LEOS! Amen.

Hah! All theories aside - I insist I'm 29. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I'm hearing you singing this song in the background, "It's my birthday and I'll lie if I want to, lie if I want to, lie if I want to..."
