my birthday was yesterday, the 10th, and it was quite special because it was a saturday, which was the day i was born on.
as soon i awoke i got squished by Kayla who is here with her mom for 5 days to visit from SA
she crawled onto my couch bed, only half awake, and lay face down extending a brown paper package at me. so my first present turned out to be a lovely notebook ( i loooooove notebooks, sketch books, drawing books, yum) it has old school explorer type illustrations on the front of a giraffe and africa and stuff
then we watched the links Chris had sent me as birthday morning love, the beatles singing happy birthday
( i loooove the beatles) and marilyn monroe with the mr president happy birthday song
sneaky
the rest of my family then wandered in and handed me their presents and wishes and love. my mom gave me a grey and black stripey jersey (again) which she allowed me to exchange
a haruki murakami book, norwegian wood. iv read only one of his books before and i didnt like the way he writes. ... but i'l give this one a try since its here. and 200zl (yay cash!) and my sister gave me an awesome-super-rad
pencil wrap 
and then wonderful breakfast, omlette nom-nom-nom
and then kayla and agi and i went to meet Chris and we went to out favorite coffee place which also has the most delicious tea. and he gave me his newspaper wrapped present on which he had drawn a tail-less monkey and written 'its an oblong!"
and it... turned out to be....
this!!!!
i am so cool
i am so loved
the rest of the day was a pleasant wandering around (as pleasant as that can be when its cold and slushy winter time)
we ate sushi, we walked to the university to show kayla how pretty it is in the evening. kayla,agi and i conquered a mound of snow and agi made a ball she claimed was her child and she wanted to take it home but eventually used it to try play soccer ... i like my sister
then she went home and we went to a pub/bar place and had weis-bier!
(which i love) and drew pictures and spoke of weird things. then we met Janek on the street and he and chris went to fetch things and we moved into my nextdoor neighbours flat.
he isnt staying there now, but all his stuff is still there (including his dirty sheets,eww)
then ensued a splendid evening of drinking wine, smoking his hookah which we decided he probably wouldnt mind us using, and watching big lebowski. truly one of my favorite movies.
chris started falling asleep and when the film ended kayla said goodnight. we decided he needed to wake up and we went outside and ended up sleding down a nearby hill for an hour
i bruised my coccyx really badly tho
when we got back we had tea and watched half of clockwork orange and then went to bed and i had super wonderful amazing birthday sex.
and all was good
