Today is my birthday, so you have to give me things:D It’s the rule. Really. You’re not allowed to read the thread without giving me something. It’s my 20th birthday today, and I’m happy! I went to work and they sent me home when they found out it was my birthday. Well, ok, so that wasn’t the only reason. I’m a busser at a restaurant called Bellini’s, and there was practically no business at all so far, so they didn’t really need me. But anyway, I can now continue my 20-year streak of no school/work on my birthday! ---

Well, okay… _looks around_ Here’s a New Year’s noisemaker horn. And…and issue of Country Weekly magazine (it’s my sister’s, but I’m sure she won’t miss it). Oh, and a box of steamed rice from the Chinese restaurant. Happy birthday, **Vanyel**! _sticks a leftover Christmas bow on each item_ ---

Mmmmm…(looks around desk)…here’s a collectable doll from the 1970’s. She’s nude, but wearing a rhinestone necklace. She’s sitting next to a miniature shovel, so you can have that too. Enjoy!
