I’m Getting Old…
Happy birthday to me!
Somebody buy me a bloody Wii?
Who am I kidding, you tight bastards,
I’ll settle for Jonathan Cree-eeek on DVD!
OK, I have to admit that it’s not my birthday until tomorrow but I figured if I post today, it’ll give you all chance to ship out those birthday cards and gifts you’ve forgotten to send. Right?
I’m 21 tomorrow. One might think this means I’m suddenly going to turn into a responsible adult, pay my bills on time and stop mocking idiot webmasters who think they can write decent tutorials… of course, that’s not going to happen. Well, maybe the bills thing — if we don’t pay npower they might turn off our electricity and then how do I power all of those Wiis you’re all sending me?!
I know, I know, enough about the God damned Wiis already!
Edit: You’ll never guess what Karl bought me for my birthday (and no, it wasn’t a Wii…)

Happy (early) birthday! Haha, I see myself as being the same at 21. A little bit more mature, though, hopefully. Like…not waiting until the very last second to do important things such as essays or chores. :|

Happy Early Birthday! Thought this was a good reason as any to reply to a post. I just read usually.

Happy early birthday. Because I might not remember to say it tomorrow. But I checked. All the Wiis that I could buy are sold out until Sunday, probably. D:

Happy birthday, Kiddo! :) If you got a Wii what would be left for you to blog about? ;) Nothing changed at 21 for me. I *was* hoping it would be that age where my mutant gene kicked in and I had gained some kind of super-power. But that didn’t happen.

Thank God you’re not going to stop mocking the idiots who call themselves webmasters, however I do recommend you pay those bills! Have a fantastic birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JEM! Hope you have a great day :D Of course, January 7th is drawing to a close here in New Zealand but you’ll just be waking up to it soon over in the UK, so I repeat: enjoy your day!

Happy Birthday Jem! Hmm…did he buy you an extra accessory for the Wii?

Happy birthday! I wouldn’t have guessed you were only turning 21, as I was yet another who thought you were older. :)

Merry Birthday, Jem! Hope you get yourself a Wii soon ;) I’m buying myself a Wii next week when they come back in stock :3 I’m all giddy excited. But I won’t be able to play it, because I have exams all next week too. Sucks to be me.

Considering it’s the 7th, here in Australia, I think I can wish you a happy birthday!! (I would even it if wasn’t :P)

Happy Birthday Jem :D I hope you don’t start acting like an adult too fast ;) You’ll make the rest of us really look bad!
Rachel said:

Happy early birthday, Jem. :) I hope you have a lovely day. Being 21 isn’t so bad…I just went from being very, “LOOK at how much TIME I have!” to “OMG I’m going to need new hips next week.” sort of mindset even though I still act immature. :P

Considering it’s your birthday in my time zone now, it’s definitely your birthday already- unless I overshot and it’s passed. I know it’s the 7th, I just can’t figure out the time zones. That, my friend, was my long-winded way of saying Happy Birthday!!!
Amanda said:

Haven’t been around the past few weeks (I have been reading the RSS feeds though, I promise!), but just wanted to quickly pop on to wish you a happy birthday. :)

Happy birthday Jem! I never knew you were about 5 months older than me. :D Don’t keep us in suspense, what did Karl buy you? A… toaster?
Jem said:
On 07 Jan at 12:36 pm
Jonathan Creek DVDs!

Happy birthday! Like the Jessica who commented well above my comment, I usually just read as well. But I thought I should say happy birthday. ;)

Happy Birthday! I’m glad you’re not going to stop mocking lousy tutorials…it entertains me!
Claire said:

Hope you’re having a very happy birthday… Must admit, I felt all “old” when I turned 21 and expected some form of “change” to happen – it didn’t. To me, I still feel about 16 (despite the fact I’ll be 22 on 6th Feb [11 months and one day older than you, it seems!] )

Happy birthday Jem! Many wiishes come true :) (It’s bad, I know…)
Carina said:

I was going to get you a wii but then I saw these lovely socks.
Vera said:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEM! Finally an adult. I’m 22 (I’ll be 23 in August) and I’m still hopelessly childish, so don’t feel that bad. Although the part with the bills does have merit. Don’t you dare stop criticizing (see I’m being eufemistic here) teen webmasters. Where would I get all my fun then? No I can’t guess? WHAT? No I’m really curious.
Corinne said:

You and me both. Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday, Jem-Face! I know that you’d never consider it, but you should put a PayPal link in your sidebar or something. It’d be a way for people to say thank you/happy birthday/wear a funny hat and take a pic if I send you £1. That way we can all say that we’ve bought you a Wii! Just noticed the JEMurl thing too. Very swish! :D
Chans said:

Happy Birthday Jem!!! I tried sending you a Wii but the mailman returned it to me saying he couldn’t find your house. So I guess I have to keep the thing myself now ;) Hope you had a great day!
Aaron said:

Happy birthday, Jem! Hopefully someone who is amazing out there will send you a Wii. I would, but I’d probably keep it for myself instead.

HAppy Birthday Jem! You’re birth date is perfect – just after new years and christmas so everyone’s still in the festive spirit, but not near enough to christmas that people can just lump that and your bday present together. Go you!

Hee hee, you are so young. I forget this when I’m reading your journal and realizing that compared to you I sound like a 12 year old. I think it’s my fascination with capslock. And possibly your birthday is over there! BUT I LIVE IN THE PAST. So you still have SIX HOURS of birthday left here. :D I hope you had a good day, and walked away with a lot of loot (okay, that’s materialistic, I hope the emotional bits were good too, but still! Presents!).
Steven said:

Well then, Happy Birthday! I am getting close to the adult age and, well, it sucks.

Happy birthday, Jem! You’ll have to get a Wii and then let me know how the Rayman Raving Rabbids game is. ;) Also, just noticed the JEMurl thing – nice work! Consider me impressed. Hope your day is wonderful!

I can’t believe I missed it! Although, to be honest… I don’t even know what the date is today. I keep writing ’06 too. So what did he get you? I’m intrigued. Happy – belated – Birthday!
Joshua Goodwin said:

Happy late birthday. Why not IMAGINE you have got a wii if none of us send you one?
Elea said:

Happy belated birthday! I’m surprised that nobody’s complained (as far as I saw, anyway) that you’re considering the age of 21 to be old. ;)
Mae said:

I can’t believe I really AM older than you!!! anyway… belated happy birthday!! :) I’ll wish that you get a Wii, is that enough? hehe :)

Aahh, happy belated birthday! =D You’re OLD now! xP (Kidding, kidding!) Maybe you should get yourself a Wii. ;) Since everybody else is so hopeless…
Jem said:
