Happy Birthday little brother! My own dear brother Christopher Richard Moss is 25 today! He’s actually only 18 months younger than me, but its funny how we older siblings relish using diminutive language with our younger brothers or sisters, even if they are only a couple of years younger. Guess its our prerogative! Though the fact is that in every respect Chris is older than me, bar our actual chronological order of birth. Happy Birthday my wealthy, successful, responsible big-little brother! You really should have been the older one.
And now, some random facts about Chris…
- Chris likes Keira Knightley
- Chris is mildly OCD
- Chris hates jokes about his name being Chris Moss (Christmas)
- When he was 3, Chris ripped the door off our washing machine!
- Chris got into Green Day and the Foo Fighters before I did
- Chris’ 2 best friends are called Chris and Chris
- Chris has a brand new car. Its not a jaguar (though he works for them) but it does have leather seats and a CD player… but I don’t wanna talk about it anymore…!
Well, I’ve ruled off my brother’s birthday section cos I want to put a break between it and my re-cap of the past few weeks. Basically, I am buried alive in school work, JET Application stuff and all the problematic car-related crap that resulted from being rammed a month and a half ago. Whats more the trusty British legal system, whilst apathetic about my accident, are more than happy to try to take me to court over the 6 points I now have on my licence. According to my legal advice (my Mum’s office) they have no grounds as they can only take you to court over 6 points in your first 2 years of driving… and I had been driving 2 years and 2 days when I got speed camera-ed 2 months ago! Haaaa!!! “I fought the law and the law…. lost, and can SUCK IT!!!”
For some reason I seem to be in the kind of mood where I’d rip someone’s throat out for looking at me sideways…! I don’t know why but I completely lost all heart in my fencing tonight at club and have been in a bad mood ever since. Its partly the mass of work and problems I’m trying to juggle, but its not really about that. I dunno. Is it wrong that the only moment of happiness I experienced this evening was when I stepped outside and just stood for a moment in the driving rain everyone was trying to get out of. I swear I’m not just saying that to fit some emo archetype…! For a brief moment, I smiled the only smile that I’ve meant this evening. Now I face a solid weekend of junk food fuelled sleepless nights in the library spent staring at a computer screen, trying to force myself to care about Japan’s role in the intergration of Asia into the global economic community. Well, upbeat birthday post ends in inexplicable moodiness. Why not ignore all you’ve just read and give my bro his B.Day props. That’d be good. And now I will shut up.
Later. Shutting up in…. 3……. 2……… 1………. (…………)

Chris’s car is hereby nicknamed Buck Rogers.
I’m floating in a mild fug of frustration, seasoned with depression if I actually try to think about anything.
I wish it’d rain here, then I could go for a walk without dying.
Happy birthday to your brother–and I must say that the profile baby pic is ADORABLE!! Makes me want a baby–but being not married, and knowing that I’m not prepared for that responsibility yet even if I WAS married–that shall wait. I hope that you find some sun through the fog of all the tasks and situations that are facing you right now. Hang in there, and know that I am thinking of you in another rainy city stateside.
Much Love,
Bethany

Happy birthday ChristMoss Brother!
I often stand in the rain like that, looking at some women run for cover with magazines or purses on top of their heads, and other people just doing crazy stuff like if the rain was deadly. It only works downtown tho, near the university, where I live, the young people dont care about the rain.
Ive been swapped in my work too. I just sent in my JET application (on deadline day!).
Now I only have a shitload of school work to do.
I just need to pass all my classes so i can get my diploma…
hey dav! i love comic quality of your writing. im sure your brother would have loved what you wrote about him. i wish i could be as acurate im self expression. It was vanessa’s birthday last week and we all went out last night to id. though we can home early. and i have a cough that makes me sound like an old man. but dont worry i have a truck load of pills and powders from the doctors. And dont worry about being sad dave, just be patient with yourself, no one is perfect.
good luck with your jet application.

Happy birthday to your bro! That pic of the two of you is soooooo cute!!!! And I so understand your frusteration! I’ve been buried in school stuff, wedding stuff, Japanese club stuff, friend stuff, and now JET stuff…just a lot of stuff!!! Fortunately, I have a week off of school now so I can breathe some, and sleep! Oh, and I very much love the rain. It’s so cleansing and rejuvanating. There was a lot of wind and rain during one day this week, and had I not been going to class I might have done the same thing. Anyways, I hope you feel better!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS!!(and say hi to him!)
omg,you guys WERE so adorable!!! I want to have second son looks like you…( hahaha…) And you are applying for JET??? Well hope we can meet up someday. I will be in Japan until Feb 2009.
I hate the rain right now. I’m sooooo over rain. It never seems to stop rainin! YUCK!

happy birthday Chis Moss…umm a couple of days ago
oooohhhhh how cute! [the pic] i love your brother’s expression
=]think happy thoughts *hugs because i’m sure you need them* but please don’t rip my throat out.
Happy belated birthday, Chris Moss! Aw, what nice things to say about a brother…
Well, I’m glad to hear that your driver’s license issue turned out okay, but I guess it’s sort of the good side of a crappy situation.
Hope all the crap you have to do is getting sorted out okay… At least you know that, in some point in the future, you’ll be looking back with relief of all that you’ve gotten out of the way. Try not to rip out too many throats! (Unless they deserve it… but a force choke would be less messy)
awwwww… how adorable! i love your heart, dave! you are the coolest emo guy i have ever met!!!
Happy you got your JET app off. I hope you get good news soon!
Blessings!
I understand. =]
But you can e-mai me sometime too.. Lol =P
