Well, it's nice to see that I'm not the only one who despises this unholy of unholy days. Maybe it's because I'm gullible on Olympic levels, I don't know.

Everybody else is threatening violence for pranks. I, however, am threatening wish fulfillment. You want to tell me you're pregnant? I'll show you what I learned from that book my mom got me for Christmas, "How To Win Friends and Magically Inseminate the Unsuspecting." Want to tell me you're not feeling well and you think your appendix has burst? Finally, a reason to use all that knowledge I gleaned from "ER" reruns! Heard a rumor the President's been assassinated? Give me twenty minutes, cab fare and a two-by-four and I'll go check.

So, yeah. My hatred of April Fool's Day knows no bounds.

I hate April Fools day because it's my birthday. It's not that I hate my birthday, it's that I hate that people always say something like "Boy your parents sure must have been fooled"

Yeeeeah... no one's thought of THAT one before.

Fuckers.

My parents's wedding anniversary is tomorrow. At the time they got married, my mom was a little over three months pregnant with me. I consider myself lucky no one has ever asked me if I was the April Fools's joke.

Oh, and happy birthday. :)

My brother was due on December 24th, several years ago (and managed to be two weeks late and over 13.5lb, the little fucker) but anyway, my parents were doing calculations to figure out when Mom had conceived, and they noticed something interesting.

For a baby to have been born on December 25th, it should have been conceived on May 1st.

One suspects God of having the last laugh.

April 1st. I swear I typed April 1st.

It makes more sense that way.

I don't know. I mean, surely you've heard the old traditional British poem?

Hooray, hooray, the First of May!
Outdoor shagging starts today!

Heh, no, I've never heard that.

But I bring quotage. Adolescence of P-1 by Thomas J. Ryan. The main character and his girlfriend have sex... oh, some distance from the actual road. The author tells us the details are left to our imaginations, but then adds,

"The details weren't left the imaginations of the occupants of the two cars that stopped to watch along the road winding through the valley below them. Gregory waved feebly to them as he rested. They waved back. It was a momentary source of wonder to him: the detail the naked eye could perceive at a distance of half a mile."

My mom and I did a little figuring once, and for me to have been due on September 26th that year (both me and my brother were three days late, though), she would have had to conceive on Christmas night. I was a late present. :)

Aww, cuteness... *grins*
