battlestarbeanI'ma be 25 in a few days! I'm pretty excited, I'm not gonna lie--and mostly because of the presents. Not gonna lie about that either. My main squeeze bought me a new Lappy, one of those little Dell 1545 things, in a delightfully spring-like Jade Green. My pop is sending me a package which will no doubt contain something expensive, and my mom's just bought my ticket to DragonCon. I am a wee bit spoiled, I think. Years and Years of this have led to conversations like this between myself and others:
D(me) and J(main squeeze) are just about finished customizing the new laptop D will receive for her birthday:
J: (looking over list of customized things) So yeah, we added pretty much everything you wanted, you got your web cam, you can play Sims 3 on it, Wireless router-- a pretty swell little lappy, I think. Okay, I'm pushing the button--oh, and it's officially yours! Estimated Delivery Date, August 18th. Huzzah!
D:....
J: What's wrong, babe?
D:...That's not my birthday.
J: Sweetheart, you're getting a new lappy, and it's only a few days after--
D:....
J: (resigned) I'll just run out and get you something else then, shall I?
D: (beams) aw, baby, you don't have to do that...butreallyyoudo.
Not to mention the fact that this year, I sent out my birthday list (That's not the weird part, I do that every year), but I had to send out a revised birthday list for my friends, and it began with the sentence, "Look, I've had some complaints about this year's wish list, so this is the one for all you poor friends. Now you have no excuse."
I have no idea how my friends and family put up with me. They do though, because I'm equal parts extremely blessed and made of awesome.
Hooray for birthdays!
