Today's my birthday. I'm 26. Have I accomplished anything in the past year? Not really.
I came out like a bandit on gifts this year though. A giftcard for going to the movies (which is very helpful). A handmade sketchbook and a new set of drawing pencils from my best friend and her boyfriend, and a few other things that center around food and money so no need to get into details.
I had a cookout to celebrate, even though I didn't even know I wanted to have a party until the very last minute. The cookout was a lot of fun, one of the dogs actually jumped up on the table and ate a hamburger off a plate... he's never done that before. We sat around, listened to music, and talked. It was the best birthday party I've had in a long time. Of course the party was yesterday, because everybody I know, pretty much, has a Mon-Fri 9-5.
I'm hoping to get one more birthday gift, something a little underhanded, but something that I need none-the-less. I need my library fines erased so that I can check out books and movies, and I know just the person to ask. Yeah, I know, why not just pay the fine? Well, that would be because it's a big fine, and I'm a bit broke. Sometimes having friends who work in the library system is helpful.
