Lord, I'm turning 36 in two days. I would have forgot until Amber made a point of asking if 'the hag's ready to retire yet'. How the hell'd that happen? It doesn't feel that long ago that I was still in my twenties.


((So...I don't actually know her age, exactly. In the movie, it adds up to 36 (19 when she met Rotti + 17 years later is start of canon), but her MySpace lists her as 43. ...so I really don't know.

Also, anyone she said she was 36 to earlier, just pretend she said 35 and that I didn't screw that up. x_x))

Maybe so. Talking from experience?

I'm only a teenager, I really could not say. But birthdays aren't particularly significant - there's no sudden jump in age or intelligence. We just use them to keep records of it.

I suppose so. It probably means more with some birthdays -- becoming old enough to drive, to vote, drink, things like that.

[...I find it funny that Issei is telling her about age and wisdom when she's old enough to be his mom. xD]

Yes, but one doesn't magically become responsible enough to be trusted with driving a car on their birthday. There's no appreciable difference from the day before, when it would have been illegal for one to do so.

[Pfff. Well, he knows the theory behind it.]

[morethanseeing.livejournal.com]

Perhaps, but it's nice to have something to serve as the milestone. And it also means the added freedom.

[xD He has a little bit of old man in him.]

I have nothing against birthdays. I didn't mean to imply otherwise.

[So he does.]

[morethanseeing.livejournal.com]

Oh, I didn't think you did. I just meant that there's reasons why people attach such significance to them.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

So there are. It's mostly for convenience.

[morethanseeing.livejournal.com]

I suppose so. It makes things easier to measure by.

Now that we're all used to the system, it would be difficult to change.
