wolfish_willowFirst of all:
And BIG, HUGE, GINORMOUS "THANK YOU" to everyone who sent me birthday wishes yesterday. You have no idea how loved you guys made me feel when I read your messages. You guys are all awesome! *smishes you all tight*
My birthday was really fun. My mom gave my sister and I money to go to my favorite restaurant for breakfast. I got an awesome omelette and the waitress put a candle in my blueberry muffin and sang "Happy Birthday". Then Big Sis went to work and I babysat my niece. My parents went out to a casino (part of why my mom paid for us to go to breakfast, I think, is that she felt bad about dad wanting to go out on my bday rather than wait for next week. But really, getting the house mostly to myself was really a present, in my opinion). Bestie and her boyfriend came over around, IDK, 5 or something. He grilled some burgers for dinner and we all watched "We're Back". I jumped up and down when bestie told me she brought it over. I'd just told my younger sister a few days ago how much I wanted to watch that movie again (we only own it on LaserDisc, so I can't just pop it in anytime), so it was really awesome timing.
Then everyone got home (the only dark spot on the day was my younger sister. She acted like it was so annoying to have to be at my birthday and wait for the whole 15 minutes for my ice cream cake to thaw before we could do candles and presents. And she kept making really mean comments about my bestie just loud enough to antagonize us) and we had my Oreo ice cream cake.
Bestie made me an awesome card:
I was really excited about it. We had this whole conversation at Comic Con with me moaning that I'd probably be a Hufflepuff and she was adamant that, even though I'm crazy shy and scared a lot, I'm still a Gryffindor through and through. hee
I wasn't really expecting much in the way of presents this year. My bday kind of took everybody by surprise (my parents thought it was on Sunday, so mom said she was really lucky that she happened across the things she got me by chance or I would have had to wait, LOL). I thought I was getting one thing and I was totally cool with that because I got a cake and decorations and got to go to breakfast and have a breakfast dinner at a restaurant Downtown. ANYWAYS.
My presents are so cool. Big Sis got me an iHome, a little portable speaker for my iPod. I have to lug out my huge karaoke machine every time I want to listen to music while I'm cleaning the house, because it has a cassette player, and I only have a tape adapter. But now I can just connect my iPod to my little speaker and listen to that while I'm doing the dishes. *-* It's so cool.
Then Mom gave me a bag with my presents.
I've wanted a Captain America shirt since the movie first came out, but couldn't ever justify spending so much on a shirt myself. So this is great. :D
And then. AND THEN.
Isn't it so cool? UNF. Now I have a new little thing to add to my table of stuff to show off. (I got the Captain America Shield Launcher for Christmas, so yeah). I love it.
But then, Mom comes out with another present. I'm completely shocked because I thought that the two was it, right? She wasn't able to wrap it, so I had to close my eyes when they brought it out. She passed it to Travis (bestie's bf) and he put it on the table in front of me. (It totally tipped over and smacked my nose while my eyes were closed. It was hilarious).
I opened my eyes and pulled this big thing out of its bag, no idea what it could be.
Then.
IT'S A NUTCRACKER ADVENT CALENDAR FOR CHRISTMAS. I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED AN ADVENT CALENDAR. I SAY IT EVERY YEAR WHEN I SEE THEM IN THE STORES BUT I NEVER BUY ONE. AND IT'S NUTCRACKERS.
A bit of backstory. I collect nutcrackers. I have four regular Christmas ones. I have one that's a Wolfman (it was a bday present last year). I have a Sherlock Holmes one, a pirate one. A calendar one, with the days for the month. And I have two bigger ones (a golf one with the year "07" on it and the other is a normal one, just bigger than my others). I have a little set in a box of them, they're all smaller than my hand, and I think there are 20 in the case. Then my parents have two BIG ones (they reach to just below my chest) that guard the fireplace all year round. They've told me that whenever I move out, I get to take those with me. THAT IS HOW MUCH I LOVE NUTCRACKERS. I LOVE THEM. AND I LOVE ADVENT CALENDARS. THIS PRESENT COMBINES TWO OF MY GREAT LOVES. *dances*
Then my younger sister left. My parents went to bed, as well as my niece and Big Sis. Bestie and Travis and I stayed up and watched "Three Musketeers" because I love it and bestie hadn't seen it yet. I asked her to braid my hair (I adore having my hair played with and brushed and braided and yes) and she did this really cool kind of fish tail thing or something where it curved inwards. It was pretty and took over an hour to finish (my hair is a little long and a lot uncooperative). Then when that movie was over, they said we could watch "Thor" or "Captain America" because they know how much I love those movies. I chose Cap, obvs, and we watched that.
Bestie told me that she thinks, if I were an animal, I'd be a wolf. Because she thinks I'd be fluffy and she knows that I can be vicious when I decide I don't want to take anymore crap. And I'm loyal. I felt pretty awesome when she told me that, 'cause I'm a total werewolf at heart.
Then it was, like, after 3 in the morning and time for them to go because I had to get up early-ish for my bday "dinner" (which was really lunch because we went before my younger sister had to go to work today).
In conclusion, this birthday ROCKS.
Aaaaaand. We might watch the two "Thing" movies tonight if we can get the theater room from my parents (or convince them to watch with us).
And BIG, HUGE, GINORMOUS "THANK YOU" to everyone who sent me birthday wishes yesterday. You have no idea how loved you guys made me feel when I read your messages. You guys are all awesome! *smishes you all tight*

on 2012-08-26 06:55 pm (UTC)But just hold on a damn minute here. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Hufflepuff. Hufflepuff is amazing. I would take loyalty over courage anyday. Not to mention, pound for pound, a badger is way the hell more terrifying than a lion. Those little bastards are crazy.
LONG LIVE HUFFLEPUFF! *\o/*

Re: Happy (Late) Birthday!!!
on 2012-09-18 12:49 am (UTC)I'm doing all right. Lots of family drama still, and my driver's permit is about to expire and I still don't have my license. But if nothing else, I've gotten practice and I'll just have to take the written test again. Taking a history class online which has actually been really interesting!
I hope you're doing well, too. Thanks so much for the birthday wishes. :D:D:D I miss you!
*SMISHES TIGHT*
Re: Happy (Late) Birthday!!!
on 2012-09-18 02:10 am (UTC)I've been a little busy. I'm working full time! It's exciting!! It's not glamorous and the pay isn't great, but it's a JOB, and a big load off my back while I continue to figure out what's next. Not much else is going on. Work, reading (I've been obsessively reading the Dresden Files lately), family.
FUNNY THING ABOUT THE AVENGERS SHIRT. I just got back from seeing the movie a second time! We went to the midnight premiere, of COURSE, but I just went to see it again in the dollar flicks. DVD IS COMING SOON! \o/
You're welcome! I've been thinking of you lately, so I thought I would swing by and say so (and, wish you Happy Birthday, I remembered that it was around this time!).
*HUGS TIGHT*

Re: Happy (Late) Birthday!!!
on 2012-09-18 02:43 am (UTC)Yay for working! Usually I would say boo, but it's awesome that you've got a full time job and you're makin' teh monehs. hehehe.
Jeez, I've been obsessively reading Harry Potter fanfiction. IDEK. I reread the third book before the summer started, right? And then ABC Family had the HP marathons what felt like every weekend and I just felt the urge to look into more than Hermione-centic/Dramione fic. I haven't been on flist much, most of my online time has been spent just going through HP fic. It's mostly only been since around Comic-Con time (the middle of July), because that's also when Big Sis' computer monitor broke and I'd been stealing time on her comp to do livejournal stuff since I could keep more tabs open without slowing it down, LOL. But now it's working again, so I've been going on flist this last weekend a bit.
Trying to get more writing done, but I've been having trouble with it unfortunately. :/ Mostly got stuck in the same spot with two different fics; trying to make the boys be on a case and have it be more than just a background, hand-wavy mention. heh. Not my strong suit.
IT IS JUST SUCH AN AWESOME MOVIE, THOUGH. IT DESERVED TO BE SEEN MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE THEATERS. I jump up and down when I see the commercials about it coming to DVD and Bluray. I can't even wait, LOL. And, omg. I'm a total shipper of the Stark Spangled Banner variety. There aren't too many fics, but I devoured all the ones I could find on tumblr and AO3. hehehehe
*twirls you* :D
