The coolest birthday present, ever
Eating: Nothing. Food is teh eval.
Drinking: chai, water
Watching: Invader Zim
This is not going to be a long or particularly coherent entry, because I have felt like ass all day long and I seem to have no attention span to speak of today.
Now then.
I have an original character named Zane who has appeared in a few of my short stories. Originally, he was created in about ten minutes to be a roleplaying character, back when I was still on AOL. Melissa had "The Artist", and I had Zane. We thought it would be interesting if they bumped into each other.
But of course, this was roleplay...and nothing happened exactly the way we thought it should.
After that, he made the occasional appearance in a few short stories, but I slowly got away from RP. Zane languished as Real Life sort of snuck up on me, and totally destroyed my desire to write. But then, along came stef and The Block, and Zane was brought out of retirment and into a modern day RP.
He's not a nice guy. He enjoys hurting people, and his weapon of choice has always been a harpy blade.
Fast forward to this summer, when Shawna sent me a birthday present. Keep in mind, this was after months of tormenting me with hints and clues of what it might be. (One that still sticks out in my mind is "It's smaller than a breadbox...") I was, of course, beside myself with anticipation. I have a love-hate relationship with surprises, and this one was *really* killing me. Finally, the package arrives, I rip it open...and what do I find, waiting for me?
My very own harpy. (Ignore the horrible quality of the photo, my camera sucks)
This is, of course, both wonderful and dangerous at the same time. I'm a known clutz, for one thing- and in record time, I proved to everyone who knows me that sending me an exceedingly sharp birthday present might not be a good idea...although, I'm pleased to say, I seem to have overcome my clumsiness for the time being, because I did not lose any fingers in the attempt to take this picture! *feels proud*
This is, by far, the single coolest birthday present I've ever gotten.

Between Judah attacking the lava lamp when I turn it off (I still do not understand that) and me giving you a present in memory of a character who hurts people, I'd say we're a perfect team *snerks*
*beams* I'm still happy that you like it - you have NO IDEA how hard it was not to just blurt it out as to what it was. But I persevered! And you liked it! Even though you hurt yourself with it *snerks* Give me enough time and I'll whack myself on the head with the Wraeththu book or drop the mug you sent me on my foot, and catch up.
*grins* I just have to figure out how to top that, this time around. Unfortunately, I cannot send nekkid!Dave Navarro to your house, which is horribly unfair. But I'll figure something out!
