For a birthday party, it was pretty deep...

So I had my birthday this weekend - 25!!!

I told everyone not to bother with gifts as I'm really not materialistic and would rather just have good memories.

So my mates and some family came over and we drank, chatted, played Guitar Hero and drank some more.

And then they brought out the gifts and something became abundently clear: My friends and family definitely know nothing about me.

I got two extra large bottles of rose wine. I can't drink rose as it gives me a headache, hence my affinity to red wine.
My mom got me a gold chain with a cross on it. MOM! You have known me for 25 years. When, in all that time, did I ever say something like "Wow, I really wish I had a gold coloured religious icon to wear around my neck."? In fact, I go through life saying mostly anti religious stuff and I only wear silver as gold looks stupid on me. So I'm gonna keep it and give it to my sisters kids when they decide to have any.

 My squeeze knows my gift issues, so he gave me a voucher to download music.
 
To be perfectly honest, the best gift I received this year, was a story that alles_luege  wrote for me based on a dream I told her about. Best surprise EVER!

My brother in law took me DVD shopping on Sunday, which just made me super crabby cos A) We were in a mall and B) They didn't have any DVDs I wanted. Then my knee started hurting so I went home, drank a bottle of champers and watched reruns of Supernatural.

Today i'm not doing much better. I don't know what this slump is, but I'm hoping a session at the gym might improve it. Then I can go home and have supper consisting of NikNaks.
