Highlights:
1. lordandrei
2. jnanacandra
3. aiden_freeman
4. Three hours at St. Louis Zoo, which is my favorite zoo AND admission is free.
5. Getting enough sleep before the zoo trip.
More under the cut, with lots of pictures.
6. Birfday seks!!
7. Two amazing St. Louis house concerts, packed to the walls with amazing people.
8. New fans alongside fans I haven't seen in over four years, including kilted men.
9. Unexpected birthday roses from perchike , Anna, and mamaduckers
(also Morgaine.)
10. Unexpected birthday presents from all sorts of people!
11. New incredible jewelry from Amber and Darla
12. Honey dust from a beautiful dancer (and her snake).
13. Tea and goodies from mamaduckers and her ducklings
14. Baby tigers (by baby I mean paws as big as my face)
15. At least one decent picture of baby tigers
16. Quiznos for lunch
17. Garlic hummus at the concert tonight.
18. Unexpected participation in a Mardi Gras parade (at the zoo. Such are the advantages of carrying sock poi in your purse at all times, and of having a colorful outfit to begin with. The jugglers appreciated me and so did a lot of little kids. I may have been on TV).
19. Turning 29 between Valentine's Day and Fat Tuesday
20. Texts, calls, and emails from my lovers and a score of other wonderful people besides. I love you, and I miss you terribly.
21. Unexpected home-made birthday cake (with animal crackers) from Amber and Mitch, chocolate cheese cake from chef Mike.
22. A beautiful candle from the Bears, happy tears on everyone, and pretty girls telling me 'you do not look your age! You look younger!'
23. A safe place to sleep with a comfy bed and sweet cats in.
24. Pulling out new tricks, new songs, covers, and surprises at the show without a hitch, to cheers and applause. Also, getting compared to the Fifth Element diva.
25. Pulling out "Valkyrie Daughter" and remembering all the words, with minimal help on one pesky verse.
26. housecerulia in mah phone. I love you!
27. Snakes, turtles, lizards, frogs, big cats, Caiman, Komodo Dragon, butterfiles, and Elgin the Mardi Gator.
read the sign...
Now giggle with me at the "aggressive behavior."
He never took his eye off the nearby children...it was very telling.
by contrast:
introducing Elgin
28. omnisti taking care of business, and me, all weekend, with aplomb.
29. "Casimira," live. It worked, it felt good, and yes, it is ok if I pretend to be Nine Inch Nails occasionally.
Living to the age of 29. So far: delightful. Thank you all for being part of that.
