You're gonna be bothered by how cool I am.

In addition to the small matter of my birthday (and Percy's), it is also 87 days until the GoF movie comes out.

I was in quite a funk Sunday about The Birthday. I had a whole post prepared where I looked back at the dubious accomplishments of my twenties, but I ended up scrapping it. I spent most of the evening watching the remaining episodes of Firefly and a bit of The Sound of Music before calling it an early night.

I woke up the next morning, expecting perhaps a few "happy birthday" banners, but instead I found this. I was a bit late to work because I wanted to read every single entry. I kept my reaction pretty much to myself, thinking that I could spend the day coming up with some way of saying thanks, but it's been all day now and words still fail me. I am, simply, overwhelmed.

I've never considered myself any great shakes in this little corner of the 'net. I've made some amazing friends, and all I've really done is try to keep up with their awesomeness (and, IMO, failing miserably). It's a mystery to me why anyone would want to be my friend or think that I am "cool" in any way. But I'll happily take your word for it.

I think I responded to everyone who posted birthday greetings, but I wanted to say one more thanks here for that outpouring of love. I don't deserve such wonderful friends, but I'm grateful to have them all the same.

And, more specifically:

* Thank you redwood7, wahlee_98, and angua9 for the community and the package. Jane and the lovely frame are going on my desk (as soon as I clean it off enough to find a place :P)

* Thank you seviet and redwood7 for the fine film. I especially love the last frame. :D

* Thank you lacylouwho, Lydia, Connie, and Heather for the Starbucks date and to lacylouwho, Lydia and Adam for the Barnes & Noble gift card that is presently burnng a hole in my pocket.

* Thank you, parents, for the awesome DVD that is surely a testament to my age and maturity.

Now, if you all will excuse me, I have to go finish crying now.
