november 30th, 1993

i was born on a tuesday,
it was a day like any other,
a typical birth,
with the usual "its a girl"
and all smiles
and being passed around to be "ooh"-d and "aww"-d at in my new pink blanket.
it was, to anyone, a normal day.
in all honesty, that day was the beginning of the end of the world.
