OOC: .......... That's a freakily accurate description of a true event.
OOC: That's cuz it happened to me. 55 characters, out of the blue. A week beforehand I was thinking about what I was going to get her for Christmas. Three or four days earlier I had gotten a package from her (it was a long-distance relationship). The morning of my 18th birthday, she sends the email. Thank God my parents kept me too distracted to chack email that day, or else that memory would have been forever marred.
...Actually, overall the month of my birth has a lot of very mixed memories for me. If someone were to just watch me throughout that month without knowing my past and the memories that come with it, they'd think I was bipolar. One day, I'll remember something good that happened that month one year, the next it's something horribly bad. Last year I had a great time with LU and the Creation Lab, so this year I'd better get some body armor in preparation for the inevitable whiplash. >_<
