HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WHIRLYGIRL!


Whirlygirl goes by many names; photographer, artist, hippie, student, comedian, and pool hustler. If you Google her name it will say, “Do you mean Maria Coscia?” She also spins a yarn like no other. I’ve known her for a few years and she still regales me with hilarious anecdotes about her childhood. Today is her birthday and I can’t think of a nicer person who deserves to have a good day, Happy Birthday, Whirlygirl!

Happy Birthday Whirly, do something fun :)

Whirlygirl said...

Thank you! I'll try and have fun, but I'm pretty down in the dumps about being 30. Everyone is telling me not to let it bother me, but I can't help it. I'm seriously having like a mid-life crisis. I've been making myself insane with all the things I've been thinking about lately.

Happy Birthday Whirlygirl!

Whirly, 30 isn't bad, it means you have much more wisdom then when you were 20, it means you're becoming aware of things you never knew, it means you're in you're prime. Embrace it and enjoy the moment.

(hope that helped if not tie a few on tonight!) :p

30 is a great age, it's when things really start to come together in life and you begin to understand why you did all the crazy stuff you did in your 20's. Besides you're really only as old as you feel. By the way, you look fantastic :)

JPX said...

I second that, Whirly, you look awesome! You should be thrilled that you're only 30. This August I'll be... God, I can't even say it or else I'll have to put the barrel of a shotgun in my mouth.

Have a great birthday Whirlygirl! I'm sorry you have to celebrate it with JPX but I'm glad we at least got the chance to meet last week.

You're 30?! Seriously? I thought you were like, 25, tops...

AC said...

Whom she beat badly

Johnny Sweatpants said...

What's with all this anti-Sweatpants propaganda? This thread is about Whirlygirl after all.

It's because I insulted the *eyeball roll* "Boss", isn't it?

AC said...

sorry johnny. i didn't mean to start a trend and i didn't even know about your anti-bruce sentiments, which if anything i share, though perhaps not as intensely. i am going to the concert to see firsthand what all the fuss is about.

JPX said...

I want to go on record and state that I'm not a big Springsteen fan but I like his album The Rising and his latest album is similar. I saw him in concert (dragged is more like it) and it was an amazing show.

Happy Birthday Whirly!! I love hanging out with you, JPX is right about you spinning a yarn. You crack me up.

30 is definitely not bad. I've had a hell of a lot more fun in my 30's then my 20's. (Maybe I was just lame before!)

And, PS - I never would have guessed 30!!

Whirlygirl said...

Thanks everyone for making me feel young. Today at work one of my co-workers sang me a birthday song that cracked me up and some how it kind of transformed my mood. I do still have the I just turned 30 blues, but just a little less bluesy.

PS I love that my birthday post prompted some anti-Sweatpants chatter, not that I have anything against JSP, I just think it's funny.

i did thirty last year. you'll be fine. i echo everyone else's sentiments that hitting thirty sorts out all the things you were starting to get tired of about being in your twenties.

besides, to echo other sentiments mentioned here, you still look like you're in your mid twenties, even if you don't act like it, so you get the best of both worlds.

Oh my, you only have about 12 minutes left of your birthday and here I am just getting to this.

Happy birthday, 30 rocks! And I never would have guessed that you're that old.

Damn! I missed the Whirlygirl B-day post...sorry, fuckin' work...

Well Happy Birthday Whirly, and as for your discontent with turning 30...may I make a statement from someone approaching 40?

FUCK YOU!! I WOULD KILL TO ONLY BE 30!!! and again, happy birthday.
