{THE BIRTHDAY BOOK} I have the greatest f-list known to man
... and I get to brag about you now. ♥. Because it's my birthday. Well, not really. But today may as well be. Seriously.
Okay, so as usual, I went to bed at around 10 this morning. Slept all day (at this point, I am COMPLETELY backwards), and my grandma came in and woke me up at 5pm. And I was really like... pissed? Not AT her, but because I was still very very tired and my eyes hurt and I didn't even want to move. And so we're talking and then she goes, "Oh, and btw, did you get a package from New York?" And I was like, "What? No." (a la The Valley Girl outtake) and then she was like, "Well, something came from NY." And I was like, "Well, is it addressed to me?" and she was like, "Yeah...." and I was like, "Well let's go check it out then! *springs up*" So I see it on the table, and I have NO clue what it is, and I'm trying to remember if I spontaneously ordered any catalogues recently, or magazines off of eBay or anything, and I'm basically confused. And I don't recognize the return address and I'm like wtf.
So I rip the little thing off, and look down into the envelope and see pinkness. And I knew it was something NOT boring like a catalogue. So I pull it out and see my default icon on the front and I'm instantly like jskhdfajfda/touched/omg. And I just think it's a journal - like, a blank journal for me to write in, with a pretty Lisa on the front. And I'm still wondering where it came from, so I untie it to see if there's a note from whoever sent it.
And okay. First thing I see, is the inside cover. And seriously? It took me a solid two minutes to process what I was looking at. You'd think I'd never seen a ticket to a concert before, seriously. I didn't know what it was, or if it was real, or if I should get excited, or WHAT. Like, I was confused. And then I decided to breathe and read the first page. And then I figured it out and I was like, "wait a minute, wait a minute", and lots of headshaking and mental processing occured and then I died. I was way too touched to even flail right then. I just started crying. So I'm trying to explain to my grandma what this is, and then she started crying too.
Before even moving on, I had a mini-breakdown about how none of my RL friends have ever done anything so heartfelt for me for my birthday. They buy me candy. Or dinner. Or take me bowling. And yeah, it's nice and I love them, but this is just so much more... personal. And you guys all remembered our little in-jokes and everything. I just... wow. So I turn the page and I start to realize that it's not stopping. And I'm reading all of your little things and just... I can't even explain how much this means to me. And it's beautiful. I know that all of the beauty comes from its content, but whoever physically put this together did a gorgeous, perfect job. And thank you so much for including the CD at the end. I'm so glad I have this book backed up on my computer now. And I'm sure you guys would like to see what gorgeous thing all of your efforts produced? Good. Because I took pictures.

All of the art is completely breathtaking and the words you all wrote? Even moreso. I can't even understand some of the wonderful things you were saying. If you guys set out to make a girl feel loved and important on her birthday, you succeeded. And then some. I can't even find the words to thank you all enough and to let you know how much this means to me. This is going to be one of those things that comes everywhere with me, when I go on trips and things and leave home. Or somewhere that, heaven forbid knock on wood etc etc, doesn't have internet access. I like being able to bring you and your love with me like that.

AND WHAT THE FUCK I'M GOING TO THE AMERICAN IDOL CONCERT ON MY BIRTHDAY OH MY GOD. YOU GUYS, I WANTED TO GO SO BAD EVER SINCE I FOUND OUT THEY WERE HERE ON MY BIRTHDAY - I THOUGHT THAT WAS SO COOL (AND ALSO? THEY ARE AT THE VENUE WHERE I WON BOTH OF THE STATE DANCE THINGS. I ALWAYS LOVE GOING THERE BECAUSE IT'S SO SENTIMENTAL). I think I mentioned it to my mom once, but I didn't want to go on and on about it because I knew she probably wouldn't have been able to afford it since she bought me Ulead as a birthday present already. It was a choice/sacrifice I was willing to make because I love doing videos, but I was still a little sad that I wouldn't get to go. BUT NOW I GET TO GO!! ♥!! And I get to see Gina!! And have RL Blake ear!sex in my RL ears! And Jordin!! and OMG ALL OF THEM. SANJAYA. jksdhfakjsdaf. All of them. AND I HAVE NO PLANS. CANCEL CANCEL CANCEL. I don't even care that it was short notice - lol if this would have come ON Aug 4, I would have moved mountains to make it work. I love this. I need this surprise and spontaneity in my daily life. I don't even mind at ALL and fuck, this was so thoughtful. I never would have ever expected anything like this. You don't even understand.
And UGH you know me so well - this book is so full of.. ME. Everything I love. Everything. LOTS of Lisa, Hugh, X-Files, Catherine, & Marilyn, and then less obvious RL stuff too like Deanna, my pink dress, high heels, and then everything you wrote. Just ME. All over. This is one of those things that can never be replicated or replaced. Thank you, so much, from the bottom of my heart. I wish I knew how to say it more eloquently, or elaborate on it, but... I just can't. I've already looked through it about 8 times today. More than that, probably. ♥. You guys are amazing.
OKAY SO. HOW THE HELL DID THIS ALL GO DOWN BEHIND MY BACK? I had no clue!! You guys are BRILLIANT. So yay yay yay talk to me, tell me all about it! How did it happen, who thought of it, WHEN did you think of it, who put it together, who is the lovely soul in NY that shipped it my way, how did you get my f-list in on it if you didn't even know who some of them were? Like keepingsecrets, I don't think you and I have ANY mutual friends, lol. AHHHHH. EXPLAIN! You guys are so awesome and sneaky and smart. ♥. How on EARTH did this work out? I want to know EVERYTHING!
i love you to the moon and back.

EDIT: and for those of you who missed it/forgot/weren't even informed, this post is NOT meant to make you feel bad at ALL, seriously. It was only meant to make the people who DID take part know that I appreciate it. Really. I don't think any less of you if you weren't a part of this. Swear over Lisa's life. So please please PLEASE don't feel bad, k? ILU. TO THE MOON AND BACK TOO. And this also isn't meant to make anyone feel bad about their own f-list if this didn't happen for their birthday. lol, fuck. I really should have thought this through. My only intention with this was to try to give a little back to those who gave to me in this book. ♥. I love ALL of ya'll, though.
