Even though I am a year closer to 30 today, it is still cool. I like my birthday because other cool people share it with me. Of the ones I know, I share my birthday with Claude Debussy, a French composer; Joe Strummer, from the Clash; and Roland Orzabal, from Tears For Fears. Mind you that the first two are no longer living, but we were all born on 22 August one year or other. The nice thing is that I like these musicians. Debussy is one of my favorite composers, The Clash is always a good listen, and Tears For Fears is deep within my heart always. I was very excited to learn that Roland and I had the same birthday, as Tears For Fears is one of my favorite music groups ever. I feel honored to share my birthday with these people. I mean, my friend [livejournal.com profile] shyystarr shares her birthday with our nation's lovely leader. Blech! That just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Sorry sweetie.

Anyhow, I have a doctor appointment to go to in a few. Yeah, I know...I take the day off from work, and I go to the bloody doctor. I need to get paperwork for FMLA filled out so I can get permission to be sick more and not get fired because of it. I really hate their attendence policy. I can't help it if I get migraines and/or sinus headaches a lot. I have allergies. Besides, I have some concerns with my ears and my hearing, so I want to get a referral to an ENT (ear, nose, throat) specialist. Litle things here and there that have been bothering me for a long time, seemingly stemming from my sinus troubles, and I feel it is time to get it checked out by a specialist. I mean, can I really be expected to work in a call center when it feels like needles are going through my ears and into my brain? I didn't think so. And of course, it is oh so hard to get someone to understand how you are feeling, or to get them to believe you, because it is an internal thing, and it is not something one can see. Well, enough about my health problems.

Well, we are going to go now; the appointment is in a few.


More birthday stuff later.

Kristen informs me that Joe Strummer's birthday was actually yesterday. Oh well. I still feel massively honored to share it with Debussy and Roland.

Well, I have had a pretty laid back day today. After the doctor, which was remarkably quick, we went to the CompUSA for a while until the Mac user group lunch. From there, we went to get haircuts/trims and then came home. From there, I went to bed for a few hours. Now it is piss pouring rain, with thunder to match, but we are getting ready to go out to dinner with the family. I am so HUNGRY!!! I don't know what we'll be doing afterwards, but we'll see.

Oh, and one of Chas' friends told us that today is also the birthday for Ray Bradbury. Cool.
