Happy Birthday, doggiesushi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, lame-o, when are you reading this? Are you even 36 anymore? It's your 47th birthday when you finally get to this date on your friends list, isn't it?

So, for 3 months and 1 day my best and second-longest-running friend is older than I am. So I can call him old and decrepit and make fun of his gray hair.

Wait, I make fun of the gray hair whenever ...

Considering we were both going gray before we hit 20, my saying "Can you believe we've been friends long enough to make fun of each others' gray hair?" isn't as awe-inspiring as it could be. But we started out in 5th grade, and now we compare parenting war stories. We know the names of each others' first crushes--and the stupid nicknames we gave them to keep them secret--and the names and LJ nicknames for each others' significant others.

God, we're old. And so is our relationship. But that's kinda cool.

Happy birthday, JC. I love you!
