Birthday excitement
I am sure a slightly more serious post on the subject of an (apparently) upgraded legal status... new and (hopefully not to be used soon) rights... and the wealth of inexperiance I have done my level best to forget over the past 18 years.. 216 months... 6574 days (including leap years!)... 157 776 hours... 9 466 560 minutes... 567 993 600 seconds!!!!
(Note the loss of severity already)
Anyway... I am sillillilllillilllillilly excited about some pressies this year so thought I'd include a few photos. It also takes double to time to write up and format a photo blogpost... I'm all for constant dedicated work for these exams HONEST sir.
For the benefit of non-small family:
Our alien sisters (and honoury small one) in Waterbeach have given me some money which will probably be spent on shoes... or tomato soup! (Or both as there is a sale in Faith I think!). The photo doesn't really show the size: 1 brass champagne bottle (47mm tall), 4 brass goblets (16mm tall), one copper bucket (26mm tall) and one copper tray (60mm diameter... incidentally it is 5mm tall but that doesn't really say much). But anyway very pretty. :D I shall drink a toast sometime, although most likely from a glass champagne bottle (containg Champagne) and set of glasses. -- I am NOT picky!
Also received a lovely boquet of flowers. These flowers are veryh hardy, they have survived... travel, the Granta common room, sitting untended on my desk for 24 hours, being spilled all over the floor, and being rearanged as I keep looking at them from a different angle an decided that the negative space or yellow:purple colour ratios are not quite right. They are lovely though. Do note the picture also contains a rather nice vase. Absoultely gorgeous vase actually :D but I didn't want to sound silly... to hell with that eh? Anyway, it is such a simple design and it is :D *grin*.
Most other items centrered around booze or coffee... along with a complete Hardy collection, Best of Oasis, Winnie the Pooh, 2 seasons of Scrubs, some leather gloves (all you animal rights feinds out there are NOT allowed to comment until you've tried them on... then you can (try) and say whatever you wish) and various other small amusing things such as:
Thank you to everyone, I feel completely spoiled and very :D It has been lovely seeing those of you I did see, and I look forward to meeting up with those of you I didn't see in the next month or so in various far flung reaches of the world.
And to clear one thing up
I DO NOT FEEL A BIT OLDER, MORE MATURE, WISER, MORE SENSIBLE or ANYTHING OF SUCH A DISTURBING NATURE:
Whilst growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional and a mistake.
You have been warned.
Love

You mean to say your manner and attitude have *not* spontaneously changed on this arbitrary day?
Hmm. If they were to change in such a manner, how would you know?
=P

Yes that's the one....
I don't know in what way one would notice their manner had arbitrarily changed... I know mine has at times but I have never noticed until weeks afterwards when I look back and say to myself, "That was different".
Hey ho
We need to meet up!
xXx
