$19.70
On Tuesday, I went to lunch with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nchanter. When we got the check, I saw that it was for $19.70, and said "1970, that's the year I was born". She blinked and said "wait, I thought you were 32!". It's true, when I figure my age, I usually have to subtract 1970 then add a year because my birthday is so late in the year. I started to respond with something like, "Yes, I am 32, because my birthday is in late November so it hasn't come yet" but then I stopped myself mid-sentence.
I had started to figure how long it would be until my birthday, and realized, it was that very day - Tuesday was November 25th. Oops!nchanter was highly amused, and also paid for my lunch.
That evening, I went to dinner with her, to meet a reporter. The reporter bought us ice cream, and bought her friends an ice cream pie, and the total for our ice cream and her pie was also $19.70
I often forget my birthday, and I usually don't do anything for it. But this time the universe conspired to remind me, and it was a very amusing birthday experience.
(Yeah, seeing nchanter twice in the same day is pretty unusual. I'm not complaining!)

Enjoy the rape of natives day! I'm cooking yams, carrots and persimmon with masala....I decided to rape the spice islands instead.

What was the reporter about? Is this something we'll be able to read about in a paper?

If the story makes print, I'll post a link in my LJ.

Although I still contend that you don't actually get older, you only gain experience points. . .
