the story: i was born at 7:04PM EST and weighed 7lbs 4oz. on 7/22 my mother was 22 years old and our house's number was 22. weird, eh?

she was playing cards with my aunt patti when she went into labor; rather than hopping in the car, she just walked across my neighbors backyard to the hospital. yes, we lived that close and who knew it would come in handy with the clumsy-ass daughter she was about to bring into the world. [i managed to break my nose six times before i was 18.] aaaanyway, my dad was slammed at our restaurant, so he couldnt be there. when mom got to the hospital, i was born about 45 minutes later.

since i dont have a photograph of myself as a baby on hand, here's the oldest photo of myself, halloween 1982:

i went to albini's birthday party once and he made these awesome homemade bratwursts and sausages and stuff. i hope you're partying down just as fantastically.

― hstencil (hstencil), Saturday, 23 July 2005 00:07 (twenty-one years ago)

happy early birthday mookieproof! unfortunately i will be partying down in philly myself. right now, im at home with a bottle of champagne that my parents just gave me.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Saturday, 23 July 2005 02:39 (twenty-one years ago)

happy birthday maria! you are good stuff. when you have that champagne remember that a properly opened bottle of it should sound like "a satisfied woman."

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 23 July 2005 03:52 (twenty-one years ago)

when you open it, i mean, not all the time.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 23 July 2005 03:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Happy Birthday

― Rachel Mc (Badgerkitten), Saturday, 23 July 2005 08:59 (twenty-one years ago)

it did not make a popping noise when i opened it. ive worked far too many restaurant gigs to let that happen. so what does that mean? the sound of an unsatisfied woman?

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Saturday, 23 July 2005 13:48 (twenty-one years ago)

happy happy Maria!
