Just in case you missed the date on the headline, it is midnight, after February 28th, and just before March 1st. If there were a day in between yesterday and tomorrow, it would be my birthday. But there isn't. Next year, there will be one. This isn't next year. This year, I lack a birthday. (It could very be ingenious paradoxes such as these which led to my dabbling in the existential arts.)
A lurking friend of mine (also a fellow Talking Heads fan) sent me the following video along with (un)birthday wishes. Thanks, J!
If you really must know, next year at this time, I'll be having my...
...8th birthday. You'll have to figure out the rest on your own.

Hey, happy birthday-like point in the calendar!
My father was hoping that I'd be born on Leap Day (as it would save money on birtday parties and such). However, after 20+ hours of labor, my mother was not game to hold on for another 28 hours.
Happy birthday Karmen! Do something nice for yourself, ok? :)
There's a birthday song for you!
hey, happy (un)birthday wishes!
(well i feel strange typing those words ... i feel like speaking about a dimensionless void.)
Happy (Un)birthday Karmen!
My dad also celebrated his birthday today. My grandmother forgot the gregorian date but remembered the date as mentioned by our ethnic calendar and that day corresponds to March 1 even though on Leap Year's it falls on Feb 29.
My mother gave birth to my sister by cesarean section and was given the option of delivering her on February 29th. She opted to deliver one day before so my sister just celebrated her 43 birthday rather than only having celebrated her tenth. As a kid I thought it would have been cool if she only had a birthday every 4 years.
Hope you had a very merry unbirthday!
Yeah, hope the leap-lady had a nice non-birth day!
Thanks, everyone, for the unbirthday wishes! It was very merry, indeed... Alan got me a really awesome fossil plate. (The fossils are small ammonites, baculites and other marine organisms from a Triassic/Jurassic layer of clay in Madagascar.) (It is not a fossilized dinner plate.)
For those who think leap day birthdays would be cool, I'll admit, I have sort of a love-hate feeling towards it. I do like the song, though, Bradley... Thank you!
Happy birthday Karmen! nice yourself ;)
Since you left 5 comments almost simultaneously, from differing e-mail addresses and names, but the same IP, I can only assume you're trying to spam me. Perhaps you're trying to get multiple entries in the comment contest. It doesn't really matter... I'm deleting all but one. Besides, my birthday was more than 6 months ago.
I've just read this (looking for your 2007-"birthday" posts).
Your last comment got me laughing allright!..
No swearwords, no getting angry, just dryly pointing out your conclusions. BAM!
Right on.
Kim.
Sorry for filling up your "recent comments"-box (which this post is about,...) with almost simultaneous comments. Just sifting through the archives for what I've missed.
