Why My Friends Are Awesome

[JoitheArtist]

So, my birthday was this past week, and I realized just how far I've come in the 9 years since I moved out of my parents' house.

parents' gift: $50 check, and cake decorating equipment from my high school years that they wanted to get rid of. Practical, but not exactly interesting.

My friends' gifts; 3 pints of my favorite gelato (Ciao Bella!), chocolate wine in a cool bottle (that stuff plus malted milk ball gelato = girl HEAVEN), and John Hodgman's book. They know me so well.

And since I didn't really celebrate the birthday last week (too crazy), we're celebrating on Friday with cake and a Full Metal Alchemist marathon.

I love my parents, they just don't really get me. I love that I have friends who do!

For an early birthday present to myself(read: nowhere near, I just want to stick with the theme) I'm going to move several thousand miles away from my parents. I may even tell my dad what I think of my step mom, it's been about 9 years.

Happy birthday and it's a good thing I'm nowhere near you because I'd steal your gelato, cake, and wine. Probably the book and anime too.

They make...chocolate wine?! Now, I'm not a wine drinker at all...can't stand the stuff really... but chocolate wine?!

I've seen that gelato in some stores but I've never really paid attention to the fun flavors it comes in...might have to check it out. My dad would probably love malted milk ball gelato...

PS !

Correction: You would TRY.

I've met him too. And got a picture with him~ He's awesome and funny as hell.

I have pictures too...they are backed up on a CD that has most of the several hundred pictures from my trip to New Zealand (where I met him). But that CDis packed away right now and getting ready to be moved over to the new house.
