Happy birthday to me 5 days ago

This is me, my family and Sam at the Japanese restaurant where I celebrated my birthday. Festivities included the chef preparing our meal before us on a heated table, all the while calling everything japanese. "Japanese oil! Japanese chicken! Japanese Pepsi-Cola!" Also, at the end of our meal, the entire staff (that is, our waitress and the chef) came into our booth hitting a loud gong and singing happy birthday while they presented me with a piece of cake in a boat, decorated with a sparkler and lots of little umbrellas. Fun stuff in general. I was surprised to find, when we got home, that some of my fellow Doppelgangers had arrived to share my birthday cake with me.

In other news, I got some more piercings, bought some new clothes and ate a lot of pizza today.

For those interested, here are some more pictures from Oliver's birthday party. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10.

Siberian apricot

At least ten years ago, my mother planted a Siberian apricot in our front yard. It had never flowered until this spring and it is a beautiful thing to see. Pictures of it can be found here and here, though those aren't particularly clear photos, given that they were taken with our digital camcorder which isn't really meant for still shots.

In other news, Oliver is having a birthday party with a Star Wars theme and I found the perfect twi'lek costume tutorial. Of course, instead of blue skin, I'll have violet skin and I'll be wearing different clothing than that character in particular. I'm probably going to have the most elaborate costume there, but that's ok.

Speaking of birthdays, soon I'll be all of 20 years old, soon being in three weeks. I haven't really thought about what I want for my birthday... Obviously there's the big stuff like a laptop or an amp or an iPod or whatever, but I don't really expect people to get me stuff like that. My very own pair of needle-nose pliers would be nice, or maybe some pet guppies. But really, I don't think I need more stuff. I'm generally happy just having good friends to hang out with and people around me who I know care for me.
