Thank you all for your brilliant birthday wishes. I will try and leave messages for all of you, but can't promise anything!

I had a brilliant weekend. Friday, I went out with work friends and we had a blast. Everyone was drunk and funny, and I went back to one of the guy's house with his mate and we rolled a joint and sat there watching 'Friday' and smoking. Saturday was also a good one, my pottery painting party went well. Twas a right laugh. It's harder painting a plate than I thought it would be. Sunday I got my presents because it was finally my birthday. The best present of all was my Mark Ryden 'Blood' book. It has all of the 'Blood' paintings and a few sketches in it. And it is tiny. Mega small, but oh so cool.

Then today, I went to work feeling tired and older and at exactly 9.15 am I all of a sudden thought of my Aunty Wendy. Just under an hour later, my dad called me to tell me that she had passed away. She had terminal cancer and we were expecting it, but it still came as a shock. The thing that I am the most happy about is that she celebrated her birthday. The 6th of March. And she also saw her only daughter turn 21. On the 6th of March. That is the first and only time I have ever felt something when a person has died, and it shook me up a little bit, but also made me feel happy and a great sense of relief washed over me at the time she passed away.

I love you Wendy and will always miss you.
