Is This Middle Age?
A Birthday Haiku for You:
Can I just get an
Entire night's sleep for fuck's
Sake, middle age sucks
Happy happy birthday, Casey With Laser Eyes
Casey celebrated her 40th birthday 364 days ago and we here at Casey With Laser Eyes sincerely hope at least some of those days were filled with good food, good friends, and good fun. Turning 40 ain't easy, but as usual, our Casey Babe makes it look good. That skin! Those dance moves! If you ask us, Casey doesn't look a day past 25. Keep up the good work, Casey Babe!
On a personal note, we here at Casey With Laser Eyes got a little sentimental putting together this year's birthday post. Every year, on the weekend before Casey's birthday, I usually start looking for good pics, brainstorming haiku ideas, and frantically searching for the goddamn log-in info for this blog. Last year, though, I just struggled to get my act together. Everything felt really hard and I just could not do anything. This has happened before (hello, 2021!), but missing her 40th felt, well, really crappy. There were so many times over the past year that I thought, "Ok, I could just add the birthday haiku TODAY..." but before I knew it, October was here.
So here we are, 364 days post-40th. Happy birthday, Casey. I love you so much. This blog has been my favorite way to wish you a happy birthday since 2010. Here's to 14 years of this dumb blog, 14 years of friendship, and 14 years of delightful haircapes. I like to think I've got another 14 years worth of birthday haikus in me <3
