another birthday has come and gone. i slept through most of it since my vampire hours are now thoroughly ingrained. did not make a big deal of it, since other than being The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything, 42 is not a milestone.
still, i got good swag. our roommate gave me a copy of
REPO: The Genetic Opera and ethan got me the Lemony Snickett DVD, as well as volume one of the Sandman trade paperbacks (i only have a couple, which clearly needs to be rectified) and two big fat compilations: one of "after the apocalypse" fiction and also "the years best fantasy & horror". totally RAD- i've got reading material for awhile there :-D
my sister had already given me my present early - a venus flytrap from the dollar store. also RAD, though i need to find something to make a real terrarium for it. i had already bought my own early present of a hefty order of
Black Phoenix Perfume Oils, which i justified by having sold off a piece of personal jewelry on eBay for almost as much as i spent. heh.
now i get to look forward to wishing happy b-days to the vast number of pisceans i have in my life. the list is pretty long- i guess fish do travel in schools, after all. seems as though i've never met a pisces i didn't like.
