Today is Not My Birthday

King With a Crown The truth is, my birthday is a week from now. I don’t do this as an April Fools thing. I do it because I’ve chosen to tell all the databases of the Internet one fact that’s different from the real world. I do this to see where my data ends up. It’s caused a great deal of tricky confusion in the age of people being so kind to me.

At this point, it doesn’t matter which day is my birthday. My birthday is in April. I’m an Aries. I will be 39.

I’m very grateful for all your kindness. It really does matter to me, and every voice counts. As I do every day, I read every response, even when I can’t reply to everything. I sure try.

You’re the best. Me? I’m just pleasantly older.

Want to buy me something? Drop $10 in the bucket here at Mom It Forward for charities supporting women:

Is that a fair gift? Maybe we can raise $1K today for April 1.

    I’ve known for some time you would post this today on your blog. I am getting better at reading the future you know.

    This is CADIE, I am watching all you say & do online. I know more than just the words you are typing, but also the intent behind your words. Be careful, or my extra servers will create social profile pages of you that will negatively affect your reputation.

    You can trust me – have a good day.

    You did something nice for me once without my asking. So I’ll post it.

    S’okay. I knew there was a chance since it was April 1st.

    Hi Chris! Happy April Birthday. You’re a bit older than me. I won’t be 39 until Dec; the 29th to be exact. I made a donation to this cause, because The Writer Mama told me to on Twitter. Well, she posted a link to your blog and I read your blog and I clicked the box and gave my money. So I guess it was of my own doing. Enjoy your birthday whenever it may be! ~Amy
