Birthday's aren't all that bad...

~Sept. 05, 2003~

The Morning Star came in today. I�ve already devoured it. There really is no other way to put it. I read the entire book in a scant 20 minutes. Not that it�s exceptionally difficult to read, but considering I�m at work and really should have been doing other things� But I didn�t want to, so I read my new book. Now I have to go back to the beginning, start them over and reread them. I was a bit lost and floundering trying to remember what was going on. At the same time, I was once again in awe of the artwork Bantock has created for the letters. And due to that, will, once again, be changing the layout here to one that�s a tribute to him and the story I love so much. First present of the day, even if it was to myself.

Much to my surprise I also got a present from my mom and stepdad. They sent me a boxed collection of Audrey Hepburn movies. When I opened it I cried. My mom hasn�t sent me anything for my birthday in a few years now, and I was extremely touched. Hepburn is my favorite actress and my folks have made me feel wonderful.

Than J gives me this box, addressed to him, and tells me to open it. I was a bit hesitant about it, as it was to him, but he insisted. I opened it, and buried in a mound of styrofom peanuts was the Sinister Minister and Bad Habit red edition that I�ve been SO wanting! I cried again! Goddess, I�m such a sap these last couple days. I just couldn�t believe that he�d found them and gotten them for me. I mean, they were limited to 999, and ONLY sold in Hong Kong a few years ago! I�m still in a bit of shock as I sit here toying with their garments and situating them properly.

And if that�s not enough, Drisel, Gods above and below, I love you! Thank you. :)

Suddenly the fact that I�m 31 today means nothing. It�s only a number that�s completely relative. What matters is the people who I�ve touched and have touched me. This morning really started off horribly. I honestly thought today was going to be absolutely hideous. Between the petty bullshit Russ and Shawn are pulling and the command pricks in general, well I wasn�t looking forward to the day going on. But in a matter of a couple hours, that changed. And now I�m happy today, and I feel that there are people that value me for me and not just an extension of some other being. That�s nice to know.
