Miss Oryx has left us! I will miss her dearly and I know you will, too.
Here's a recent self-portrait from a day at the beach.
It's my birthday on Saturday! Happy birthday to me, I'll be 21, which means that if I had any desire to, I could travel to the USA and drink legally. They have absolutely ridiculous liquor laws; I think that it actually causes more stupid behaviour than it prevents. That's the most conservative (highest/oldest) drinking age in the entire world. I can't IMAGINE how fucked up a country has to be that it'll allow kids to vote that long before they're allowed to drink.
Even Japan, which has the world's second-highest drinking age at 20 years of age, doesn't allow voting til its citizens reach that same age. In Canada, you can vote when you're 18, and drink when you're either 18 or 19 depending on the province in which you reside.
Here's some info... legal drinking ages around the world and voting ages around the world.
Ah well, we all know my feelings on the most oppressive, overbearing state on the planet.
Speaking of which, I hope I get a world map for my birthday! I really want one to hang on my wall so I can gaze at it longingly while I plan Le Grande Exeunt. Is that proper grammar? Should Exeunt (a Latin word, I think) come before Grande? Would I add an E to that? My French is pretty, um, abysmal. But I use it anyway.
My bosses got me a $150 gift certificate for the Mac store for my birthday! I am trying to decide what to purchase with it. Perhaps I should just trade in Compy McComp and use that money and the gift money to purchase a refurbished 15" TiBook?

Especially since I'm 20. A few more months!
/sigh
At least I can smoke.
But I was refering to the new uber, powerful and beautiful box Apple just released. The Mac Pro.
Although I can see you would be more of a slender sexy Mac Book Pro kind of girly.
