I didn&#8217;t feel it was a big deal so I didn&#8217;t really celebrate it. I still don&#8217;t feel like I&#8217;m 23. When I was 22, I would sometimes tell people I was 21 by mistake. I wonder if that will still happen. Another reason why I didn&#8217;t celebrate my birthday was that I didn&#8217;t accomplish any of my goals for when I was 22. But that will change for next year, hopefully. If things go well this year, I&#8217;ll have a huge 24th celebration. :)<\/p>\n<p>So I was showing\u00a0Rod old entries on my Xanga and this was a good topic of discussion.
