Roxie Beane: The Person

My photo
Milwaukee, WI, United States
Your average cubicle dweller by day. Sarcastic and pigeon-toed. Often overly precise about the tiniest details - I exhaust myself. The ultimate Donna Summer fanatic. I love to laugh at things... silly things. I'm a grouch. Music makes and breaks me. For me, the world wide web is endless jubilee! Welcome to my blog. I'm Roxie Beane.

My Birthday - July 11th

My birthday is tomorrow - Friday, July 11th.

I've started using the line that I'm "25... again". Of course, I'm just trying to be funny when I say things like that, but part of me is still in some form of denial. I mean, I was 17 years old a week ago. How I got this far so quickly is beyond me. And you know... I imagine that everyone experiences these types of feelings at some point, even if it's just a fleeting thought.

I plan on making the most of the day, engaging in a lot of different activities. This past Wednesday, I did end up booking a last minute small set on my birthday, at the East side's Hotch-A-Do, opening for Betsy Ade. Initially, I was going go turn it down - just because it would really require me to just stop what I'm doing in the middle of the celebration. I ended up agreeing to play and simply inviting folks to it - making it a part of the fesivities!

Stay tuned for the follow-up posting...
