Gonna wait a wee bit more to unveil the winners of the hotness meme in the hope that someone will show up and change the outcome to the one I wanted for extra dramatics and to get together some nice youtube clips and whatnot.
For now a few things.
My 25th birthday is coming up...tomorrow. I'm not going to lie and say I'm not depressed about where I am in life and where I expected to be at 25 but I am trying to see that I have been growing up, even if it is at a much much much slower rate than what would be considered normal. I have already gotten a few presents and one of them is nook from my parents! I'm going to try and buy some books today. WOOO!
I got some stamps for the mirror theme at
westerostamping . (made by the lovely
greyfable . )
These were a rather big but flattering surprise. I got numerous other votes including the expected large amount for Margaery Tyrell.
For vanity purposes, here are a couple fanart versions of these two characters to really emphasize the extreme hotness of this result.

Bronn (by

Clearly I am as scruffy lookin' as Bronn, right? ;) And this Mel vote is probably a sign I need to dye my hair red again...
Other things...
Rajiv's family, best friend and I tried to go to the Cheesecake Factory on saturday for a pre-birthday celebration for him (his birthday is three days before mine) only to find out some horrors about the hidden meats there. There was definite confusion about how much of this was true as the waiter was not being very clear, but we were told things along the lines of strawberries being marinated in lard, marinara sauce being exposed to chicken stock and (not a vegetarian issue but still) turkey burgers being mixed with cream.
Oh yeah, and of course I did.
