Thank you everyone for your birthday wishes, it really meant a lot. If I missed thanking anyone I'm sorry.
And thanks to
aianiron,
ladyminya and
nikitas_lair for my virtual gifts! I've never gotten any of those before, so that was cool to see on my profile. :)
Even though my original plans got changed today I still had fun. Mum and dad had to go off for a couple of hours to finalize my birthday surprise. Mum said they would only be a couple of hours, five hours later they finally come home. *facepalm*
gremmie_goo and I didn't go to the petting zoo as planned because it was a crappy day, but then around dinner time it was nice and sunny. That kinda pissed me off, but I really didn't feel like going to see the animals in the rain, it wouldn't have been as fun.
Anyway, after my mum and dad come home we stick the cake in the freezer. Unfortunately the surprise they had in store for me wouldn't arrive until Tuesday, so instead they said they'd take me to the store and show it to me. But first we picked up
gremmie_goo (after dad changed his mind about 12 times), because by now it was about 6pm and I was getting cranky (I hadn't had lunch and I was hungry).
She gave me this gorgeous fairy statue and I am so in love with it I can't really express how much I am. I'll take a picture of it tomorrow, right now I'm just so tired. And she also got me Pan's Labyrinth on DVD. I cannot wait to watch it, but I'm going to wait a little while because of what I got next.
We get to the store and dad is so excited he could burst. Seriously I think he was having more fun than I was. Anyway, he's heading over the the electronics department and I think I knew what he was after. Every year I always put something on my birthday list that is really cool, but expensive or unattainable (I think last year I put a car on the list as a joke), but this year what I put on my dad actually did get me.
Yeah, he got me a freaking 32" HD flat screen TV and a HD DVD player that will convert any of my DVD's that aren't in HD into HD DVD's when you play them!!!!
Dude, I get to watch HD everything (well except regular cable tv, I'd need special cable box for that and mum and I can't afford that at the moment). All my DVD's I have now (over 250) will play in HD or near HD quality. I'm so freaking excited. Unfortunately I can't get it until Tuesday because it won't ship from the warehouse until Monday. *woe* I want it nooooooooooooooooooooooow. I can also hook up my computer to the TV and play files and stuff on it too! HD Supernatural and Heroes here I come! :D
I never thought he'd do this for me and I never thought he could afford it since he just moved into his new apartment last week, but he wanted to because it was my birthday and because I'm graduating in a couple of weeks. Mum also contributed to the gift, but she said most of the credit goes to my dad.
So yes, it was a nice birthday, presents aside. I had fun and I'm glad that I could celebrate it with the people I love.
No I go to bed because I am so tired and I want to finish reading Harry Potter and the HBP.
And thanks to
