33 Things to do While I am 33

Where's my singing?

Today is my birthday! (Everyone cheer.) It's another year and I feel like nothing much has changed since last year. It doesn't seem like a whole year has even passed and I can't help but feel like time is slipping through my fingers faster than it used to. And I know, I know... That's just what happens when you get ancient like me. Fine, whatever. It's also what happens when you stop paying attention. I want to pay attention.

So, a couple months ago, I came across this idea and decided to adopt it for my very own. I wish I could find where I got it in the first place, but whatever...
