Eighteen
November 13th, 2006I really don’t feel any different, but of course I never expected to be. I told my friend Kwame yesterday I was going to be 18 today.
“You know what we do to people on their eighteenth birthdays in Ghana?” he asked me. “We beat them!”
As if I’m looking for a beating. I’ve been up most of the night applying finishing touches to my new theme — the book site isn’t halfway done. Trust me to miss my own deadline of restructuring my entire site.
I’m awfully tired and need to sleep. If you drop by, I’m craving icecream right now. Send me some!

CalabarGal, thanks for the song — I can’t remember the last time I got sung for.
Afropinay, many many thanks! Are you sure the icecream won’t melt on the way? I’ll behave like those ‘native doctors’ who ask you to get them the ‘heart of an ant’ and offer to buy it for you if you can’t :D.
Thanks, Chxta. Mutiu, I’m grateful.
Biodun, I’ve been living as an adult for the past two years. At this party there’s not going to be any cake — just beer and rap music.
As if I drink beer or listen to much else besides classical.

Happy Birthday!
I hope it’s the best birthday yet, one that makes you howl.
I wish I could be there to share your special day,
but since I can’t, I’m sending a wish to your way.
Though I wasn’t told, I just felt like visiting your website when I eventually saw your words.
Once more, HAPPY BIRTHDAY
From Nnadozie (Ndee Boy)

Bona,
Thanks for dropping by. I’m sorry I forgot to let you know.
Overwhelmed,
Demo no fit try am wit me!
Vera,
Gynae-what? I haven’t found any irrevocable proof that your blog is female — or perhaps I haven’t been looking carefully. Legal to date you, yes, but there’s still the green eye factor.
Taureanmix, Boso, Buki, thanks for dropping by.
Biola, thanks. You should have told me before either Leegaya’s or your birthday. I’d have boarded a plane asap for the Phillipines to do the honors.
If I didn’t mention your name, thanks all the same.

Gbenga, I equally apologize for not having mentioned it to you earlier :). Well, 18 sure doesn’t feel very different.
Thanks Mari. In what way did it eat up the comment?
Keshi, thanks for dropping by.

Happy Birthday Sweetie. I pray you see more and more of that day in Jesus name. You shall live to declare the works of the Lord. Amen.
