Spent the night eating chocolate and nuts and getting tipsy with The Girls (the sis and mumsies) on my rooftop (lesbeli vodka, yum) and then it was off to the sister's room to dance woozily until we were sweaty / until it was nearly midnight ... whereupon I commenced my yearly ritual of gathering the family and waiting for the last seconds of 22 May to tick past and then leading the family in a majestic chorus of "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU (ME)"! It was awesome. (There's something about the birthday song and how it's never sung on key.)
"This is deja vu," remarked the brother. Hehehe. He gave me a pink carnation! It's sitting in a vase on my desk, waiting to blossom. I'm so touched. Joel <3s me!!
It's good to be home (:
