Surgery, And A Philosophical Question

Well, the procedure that was canceled last month is tomorrow morning. I wouldn't be lying if I said I wasn't a little terrified, because I'm not.

I'm a LOT terrified. The Nephrologist that spearheaded my infection treatment... and brought me pizza yesterday so I'm obliged to love her... thinks all my nagging issues should be handled when this is over and done with. She's a doctor, so she knows what she's talking about. I'm just the patient, and there's a little me in my brain running around screeching in fear.

Because that's what I do: I overthink things, then panic. Usually it's pointless. Usually.

Philosophical question time: can it still be called a birthday when it was never born?

Hatsune Miku's VOCALOID pack was released on August 31, 2007, 15 years ago. Which means she's now as old as the character was said to be.

So can the avatar of a software package be said to have a birthday, or just a release date? Is there a difference?

1 In all seriousness, I'd go with something like "release date." But that's no fun, so I'll just say... she's the most phenomenally successful 15-year-old I know of.

May the procedure go smoothly and resolve all the pending medical shenanigans.
