I did have a happy birthday, actually, better than last year's by far. I got good news, good presents, good phone calls and a party! Will have tipsy!ems and grinding!sam pictures to upload for all of your amusement at a later date. Friday we saw Revolutions, which I [predictably] loved because, as I said to Lindsay, I was like "OMG teh symbolism!!1!" - I love those movies as a tool for philosophical and theological discussion, not necessarily as fantastic movies. One of my favorite professors is teaching a seminar on them next semester, which I may want to take, it depends if I have the credits to waste >.< Erm, Saturday we [me, sam & lindsay] got up early and went to breakfast with my mom, aunt, uncle and cousins Zoe and Esme - went and watched Zoe's last soccer game - why are 8 year olds playing soccer so damn cute? We froze our noses off though, but my aunt paid for my spare tire AND got me a scarf :D Then went to the mall to look for my jacket only to find they didn't carry it anymore, so mumsy ordered it for me online :) Then, eh, back here for lunch and putzing around the room, then we took a nap all in my bed - wow, squishing - then cleaned like crazy mofo's and went to the liquor store with sweet Annie who didn't even stay for the party cus she was sick >.< but yeah, partyness, was fun. We have soooooo much leftover booze in our fridge, it's ridiculous. :)
Got package from Dad - contains chocolate, a huge candle [sugar cookie scent XD], a yankees ski cap [w0000t] and O___O a two towers puzzle in a cool tin. My dad is teh c00l, yo. :) And money from various family. Going to NY for thanksgiving, really looking forward to seeing all the fam. Miss Dad though.. can't wait for spring break. :D Mom not so thrilled about me not coming home for thanksgiving, but I can see she's trying to deal and let me make my own decisions. Which is, for her, a huge step. Maybe being 20 is different after all. :)
Am so souped for yuletide. Can't wait to write, can't wait to receive. For now, though, have papers to work on before can squee about fanfic. Cheers everyone. Winter's in the air and I'm a happy girl.
ETA: forgot to ask - am writing a 10 page paper on developmental themes in the HP series. I have to look at physical, emotional, mental/cognitive, social and moral development of the kids throughout the books. i'd love all of your input, any thoughts on connections i could make :D work, ye brilliant minds.

[hoobastank]
when the door shuts
don't worry about me
it's not attention that i want from you
i need you to trust
who i'm going to be
and in everything i'm going to do
cus i'm not afraid
of what i don't know
for understanding is all that i earn
what is for sure
is i'm going to grow
i'm going to live and i'm going to learn
and i know there will be mistakes that i will make
but i know they're not worse than chances i don't take, take
right before your eyes i am changing, changing
new life on the inside i am changing, changing
when the door shuts
it shuts in front of me
a new person that i have become
i follow my heart
to my destiny
living in fear and sorrow is done
there will be no more feeling that i'm all alone
i will surround myself with things that help me grow, grow
right before your eyes i am changing, changing
new life on the inside i am changing, changing
right before your eyes...
and in each other's shadows we grew less and less tall
