It's my birthday today - which is slightly weird to me, as twice in the last week I've forgotten it was coming up. Added to spending half of this year forgetting what age I was, I think this may suggest I'm over aging. That weirds me too, as I generally like the notion of aging, and often find older faces and bodies more interesting, more lived in ( Read more... )

So, I've been working on this fantastically long and detailed post about my birthday. Which was three weeks ago. I'm still working on it - there are descriptions, and photos, and delighted squeeing - thanks to Ben, my brother Al, my dear lovers, and my wonderful friends, I had a very memorable and fantastic 30 hours of turning 30.

Just had cake. And fizzy. Sugar SUGAR SUGAR WHEEEEEE!

I am having a completely fabulicious birthday. Didn't sleep well (although I really should have, thanks to the alpha-male Ben who made a showing last night); but awoke and had a lovely shower and breakfast, and was finally given my birthday card and birthday present by Ben ... an Arucard ( Read more... )

Item: I'm getting fitted for my bridesmaid's dress this afternoon. Jules and I are the bridesmaid's for Adeedee and The Hobbit's wedding in January - she and I will be wearing daring Indigo, while Dee is in deep Red. Should be good.

Item: Nize and Dan (flatmates of mine) are separating, amicably (I think). Looks like my rent will be going up ( Read more... )
