Well, I survived my birthday, and it was actually quite nice. I've been saying that my birthday is bad luck, since things (like my pets) or people (like me, almost) have the tendency to die around this time of the year. This only sort of happened, as predicted, when my laptop hard drive completely erased itself. Luckily, Apple replaced the drive, and almost nothing was lost. Going for a few days without a decent computer was tragic, but I got a free OS upgrade. Hoorah! I suppose it's pretty pathetic when my standards are "no one died" and "people didn't forget about me" but I'm still thankful.
My party was pretty damn epic, and thanks to y'all who showed up (and thanks to Nat for planning everything!). Much alcohol, amusement, and molestation was had by all (as far as I could tell). It's been fun mocking all my drunken classmates this week. Good times!
Also, I found one of these at the 2.2 field trip to the beach:
