So this is what birthdays are like?

[xp_daytripper]

The last time I enjoyed a birthday this much was when a bunch of me old mates in Brighton did over an off-licence and we had a party on the beach with a fire and all and Katie had lifted a cake from the supermarket. 'Course, we all got busted for being drunk in public...

Any way. Today. Is much better, and not just because it hasn't ended in a kicking from the old bill in the Brighton nick. Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, and Clarice, thank you for _not_ glittering my part of the room. And I have to say, it was amusing to watch Jane's reaction. I think you've unleashed a secret glitter demon...

And there was the bonus of three classes off - I spent the math study hall with Artie and Miles. We _did_ get the work done, and after that I was teaching them some tricks. No actual magic, just sleight of hand stuff, disappearing pennies and card tricks. And sorry if they're a bit hyper later, Rom's birthday present (a spellbook and a shirt that isn't black, hmmm, I'm sensing a conspiracy here...) included a block of English chocolate, and I don't eat the stuff much, and the munchkins liked their reward for getting Sarah to Brighton so much last time I figured it was going to a good home.

Oh, and despite what your eyes might have told you, that was _not_ me pouncing on Pete this morning after the post came. Niope, no way. Even if his present was absolutely brilliant - a box from this place, including some t-shirts - I'm wearing the "Jesus Hates Me" one now - and more buttons and stickers than I can count. I've been laughing me head off at them all morning, and once I go through 'em all, you can bet there will be some redistributing of wealth. ;) And there was a copy of "England's Dreaming: Anarchy, Sex Pistols, Punk Rock, and Beyond" by Jon Savage as well, which _is_ pretty close to the real thing. Thanks, 'Uncle'.

Nate, I've got study hall this afternoon instead of History and Geography - mind if I drop by? And yeah, Homily's potions are a bit like that if you ain't used to 'em. I figured since you're so much bigger than me the usual dose would be okay. *wry grin*

did you like the prezzie I left on your bed? or did it get lost in the no-glitter side of the room?

Sure thing...

I'm not going very far today, I think. Shaking people down for information over email again...

It somehow made its way under the pillow, but I did find it eventually. Thanks, Pixie, I'll wear it next clubbing night. Nothing says 'scary clubbing girl' like a tank top with a skull on it. And the red eyes were a great touch. :)

See you soon, then. :)

Glad to hear you are having a good birthday, and getting cool prezzies. I got you a small gift, too, will drop it off sometime tonight.

Is there such a thing as happy overload? *grins* Thank you. :)And we need to do something together. Something nice and normal and not related at all to berakages of any kind.

I'm not going out until seven or so, so you'll catch me in me room before then... And you really didn't have to, you know. Not that I'm offering to go without, but just... gah. I think the word I'm looking for is ta. :)

I've become really good at mail order. Though the idea of buying clothes without trying them on still gives me hives, whatsoever.

But who has the time to actually go out?

Stop by when you've a sec, alright.

[xp_daytripper]

*nods* Mail order magic supplies are a lot easier than dealing with certain... people, that's for sure. And it helps when you dont' drive. *wry grin*

I can pop by after class, if that's all right?

see? Glitter CAN be a good thing. and there should be glow-in-the-dark glitter on the back :) but it's whiteish so not so easy to see.

I'm glad you like it.

It took me a bit to find, but when you get back, there's something on your bed for you.

Great, I'll see you then.
