Apparently, today is my birthday. 'Tis the season to be bombarded with "what do you want for your birthday and Hannukah?" I don't really care anymore. Part of me would like to enjoy my independence and buy stuff for myself without having to worry about buying stuff for other people in return.

I don't talk enough to allow anyone to get close. I will most likely remain alone. I must reach out first and I cannot get myself to initiate contact. And so here I remain, where my destiny lies - in front of my computer. Do you see anything changing?

Don't comment just on the gift giving, please.
