The answer to my trivia yesterday was President Richard Nixon. I should look up other celebrities who share my birthday, but I'm too lazy to do it.
Here's another odd bit of trivia for everyone (you'd know the year I was born anyway considering I gave you my age already) if you abbreviate my birthday by month day year like this:
m-d-yy, you get:
1-9-81, or take out the dashes, and you get simply the year I was born,
1981. How many other people are born on the day that turns into the year they were born?

That is one way to look at it. Here's some of the benefits of being 25: If I was driving, my being a male, my insurance premiums would be dropping this year, I only have to hold onto that Selective Service (which I am adamantly against) Confirmation Card for one more year (again a male only thing 18-26), and I now fall into the 25-34 age group on surveys and other demographically influenced data collections. I don't feel any older though, and that's a good thing.
I was tired, so I couldn't think straight enough to respond, I'm lucky the writing on my birthday picture is (reasonably) coherent considering I was up alomst a whole day straight by the time I go t to doing it.
To get to your previous comment:
I hate to say it, but I won't know the value of Photbucket till I have a problem with them and see how they resolve it. If I never have a problem with Photobucket that would suit me just fine though. I do like tha ability to upload more than one picture at a time, where Image Shack makes you do individual pictures (or a zip file with the pictures in it). That made it a whole lot easier for me since I put all my hosted pictures in one place. So far I'm liking Photobucket, and I know I'll be sticking with it. I'll use Image Shack, which is inexplicably working for me again, as a back-up to Photobucket.
I feel better knowing it's done, and I'm telling my family to do it too. It's something I'll be doing every six months, regular as clockwork. Data back-up should be a habit everyone gets into.
I decided I'd try to do a dragon after going through those tutorials you pointed me toward, and whtdragon's reference sheets. I think I can handle doing something that'll look good, but it will take time, since I've never worked with 18x24 paper before, I have a lot to get used to doing. Although my only major complaint about the sources you pointed me toward is they aren't printer friendly, so I'm having to try to memorize all the steps and images, which isn't easy for me, my mind doesn't work that way. I'll come up with something, I'm creative that way.
Now back to yesterday's comment:
You got it. That's the answer.
I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, I've only seen one movie she was in, and didn't like it.
Thank you for the birthday wishes.

Thank you for the card, I did get it and responded to the PM. I appreciate the thought a whole lot more than I can describe.
Outlaw Melfina:
I did tell you my handwriting was horrid! I may be ambidextrous, but both hands write so similar even I can't tell when I've switched, and they're both that bad. I think I did this one southpaw, left handed, but I may have switched off at some point.
I'm not too worried about the dragon, I've got some excellent resources and tips from people right here on MyO, so I'll be all right. I just hope I can make one that looks really good, even if it's for myself.
Don't worry about it too much, it's just an odd bit of trivia I like to tell people about.

Nihongo wa amari yoku wakarimasen. All the same though, Arigato gozaimasu, I appreciate the thought, no matter what language it's spoken in.

Thank you for the birthday wish and impromptu confetti shower. Since I use the phrase "Don't ask" quite often myself (and have a myriad of really bad thoughts about why I shouldn't ask running through my head), I'll just leave it at that, and not ask, and say the same, please don't ask.
