Thought I Posted This Days Ago. Whoops.

Had 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 circa_eve and I are avoiding writing tried to grow a plot. Or something. *pokes at it sadly*

Also, GIP! New fannish obsession, HI. (Thanks st2102 for the screencap!) The Hahn and Callie kiss last Thursday? Also a bday present. Yes.

<3 icon muchly. You should find one of their kiss from the last episode too.

Also, what is GIP? I am too tired to attempt to decipher it on my own just now.

[merelyn.livejournal.com]

I should! My next goal is to make one of that scene. (Woo bootleg photoshop, woo.)

GIP = Gratuitous Icon Post :)

Also, will you be around on Memorial Day, lady?

[wordweaver06.livejournal.com]

I'm probably working that day, but I usually have Sundays off if you're around the day beforehand.

[merelyn.livejournal.com]

I will be. I should be getting in Friday and I'll be around until Monday afternoon. I hope we get to hang out, it's been ages!

[wordweaver06.livejournal.com]

I'll definitely come down on Sunday. :)

Haha that's cool :) Miss you!

zomg. Zomg. I was just saving icons for Torres/Hahn. Great minds!

Also, hey, I didn't get you anything, so, here, have a present (http://community.livejournal.com/ga_fanfic/1208372.html). I stayed up all night reading. ♥ OMG SO GOOD. Start with chapter one and work from there. I'm totally in love.

LIFE IS AMAZING.

(happy birthday.)
