Hi, all.
Today was (is) my birthday.
So happy birthday to me!
It's dark outside, so it's mostly over now, but I just thought I'd make it an excuse to say hello.
I'm actually kinda sad that it's over. One of my friends who's an awesome baker made me these really nice brownies with mint chocolate frosting and they were amazing, and another friend who's admittedly less pro at baking but is super cool and tries really hard made me chocolate chip cookies even though her oven was broken and I thought that was super nice, and my waifu (my girlfriend, not literally my wife) is gonna get me a somethin'-or-other, and another friend said they'd give me pennies because I collect pennies (wow I've been meaning to post about that for months - yeah, I collect pennies 'cause I think they're cute), and just everybody was cool and nice and awesome today, and it makes me kinda sad that it's about to be over.
I'm not even sad about the not-getting-gifts-anymore thing, 'cause like, we just had Christmas a month ago and all, and I'm just really materially satisfied right now. No, it's really just 'cause I wasn't really thinking about my birthday coming up until it surprised me when I saw the date on Monday. So it was super unexpected when a bunch of people - some of whom I don't really talk to - started wishing me a happy birthday out of the blue. It was like, "Hi, we might not be good friends or anything, but I just want you to know I'm glad you were born, so have a nice day." And even with my good friends, I just thought that was super nice of them, you know?
It was. It was nice.
I hope you all have happy birthdays, too.
