(In case there's someone here who hasn't noticed yet, I'm quite over my eerie state of depression. Yes, I was mostly over if after a good night's sleep. Our utter victory at the Stanford Marching Band Competition kicked the metaphorical crap out of the rest of my depression-ish-ness.)
(One more quick thing about that, I'd like to apologise again to anyone that I may have negetively affected while in that state. I truely am sorry, I think I'll just vanish for a while next time I feel like that to keep from doing anything I'll regret again... )

First of all, let me just say that was one hell of a great birthday! (pardon my French...) Sure, unless there's something the internet isn't telling me, I got almost no gift art (almost because there was a single sheet of lyrics for a theme song of me that I got about two weeks early that the author even admits they didn't really put much effort into.)... But in general real life, my birthday was awesome! I didn't really get any gifts on the spot, which I was starting to find disappointing (I got some MTG cards, and a couple of shirts, to be exact, on my birthday...) Until I opened the card from my parents. It was an I.O.U. ... For a cellular phone (kinda yay) and a pet lizard (SOOOO yay! XD ). I thought that was the great suprise they kept saying they had for me, but no, it got better. I also, to finish off my birthday, got to go to a Yellowcard concert. I'm not an outragiously huge fan of Yellowcard or anything, but I still think their music is pretty cool. It's so much cooler to watch them live than listen to the CD, though! Esspecially the violinist. First thing he does after the show starts is, during a song, climbs on top of a speaker and does a backflip off of it. It was pretty awesome...

Mission: Enjoy Birthday
Status: SUCCESSFUL

**Super Edit**

Okay, I really have to keep in mind that people don't always think things they read sound the same as I intend... ^^; I realized this again after I was in school today, way after I could edit this before anyone noticed what I did. When I started whining about not getting any gift art above, I was SO just kidding! I wouldn't really whine about something so shallow as not getting gift art like that. If you want to make some for me, great, I'd love it. I love all gift art for me. Dunno why, just do. I think everyone loves getting gift art though, so at least I know I'm not (even more) crazy (than suspected).

Quite possibly much more importantly, I was also just joking when I whined about the gift art I did get. I would absolutely NEVER do something like that and be serious. Never! I really, REALLY appreciate that you made that gift for me not only on time, but early. I would like to publicly apologise for that misunderstanding. I just hope you'll forgive me. You know who you are. ^^

And back to news about the birthday-ish-ness, I got my new lizard. ^^ He's a mali uromastyx. I was thinking I might name him General... Don't know why...

Um... that's all to report for this journal... I think.

I didn't say anything stupid in the edit, did I...?
