Thought I Posted This Days Ago. Whoops.
May. 19th, 2008 11:37 pmHad a lovely birthday! Well, after I got off work, at any rate. Things that I got:
*2 bottles of wine
*Money from various relatives (yay for still being young/poor enough to rate that)
*Small, cute thing of flowers from my direct boss
*Crap from various people in my office for lamenting being "old" (everyone that I work with is at least 7 years older than me).
*New York Betty Boop PJ shorts from
miripanda.
*AWESOME/HORRIBLE Yaoi manga from my Other Roommate M that she got free from work. Basically it's stuff that sounds like it came from a Harlequin challenge- complete with poor characterization, treacly florid writing, and borderline disturbing relationship dynamics. Plots include futuristic slaves, Arabian Sheiks who abduct their ex boyfriends back, and, my personal favorite, a touching Merman/non-Merman love story. Why would you pay money for this when you can read it for free in SGA fandom?
*Various drinks at Sing Sing, the karaoke bar we hit up that night.
*A "Desperado" serenade from Other Roommate M at said karaoke bar.
*The opportunity to sing "Breaking Free" from HSM in public to a bar full o' folks.
*Home safely at the end of the night.
*The day off work the next morning. (Thank God. Ow.)
Also, in other news, the McShep
reel_sga story

Also, GIP! New fannish obsession, HI. (Thanks
