Happy Birthday to me... or was that I?

March 23rd. Once again, the Earth rolled around enough to come back onto the point where I was born some years ago -  not telling how many, that would be rude, as some would think I am bragging, and some would think I am undermining my age, so... No.

I have to admit, this was one of the best birthdays I've ever had -  and that can be attributed solely to my family.  I know I've had my share of tiffs with them,  and they  constantly  try to make my hair grey with their pouting over each other, but this day, I  really felt that I was loved and appreciated as I am.

The gifts were simple -  small potted flower, orange bed covers and a small cake with delicious lunch from my parents, and then shock!  I never thought -  for all the tiffs I've had with my brother that he would completely, totally and utterly floor me with a cake and a small figurine of a computer on it!  Well -  not exactly small,  but what amused me the most, was that the cake figurine had my FF page written on and how many stories I've written up till now.   I didn't know whether to laugh, be mortified or be totally amused by my brother's ... total acceptance of my strange hobby of writings galore.  We've talked about it last week, but I never, ever dreamed that he would do something so... off the wall for me. I think he had ruined any later cake-books for me. /laughs, delighted/

I am not the easiest person to get along with, especially because of my hobbies and single-mindedness when it concerns books, reading or writing, but I am happy and grateful that I am accepted as I am.

Even if  the second gift was one  enormous monster of a book by George R.R. Martin,  Dance with Dragons.  In English, of all languages. /amused, and a little bit miffed/   It's a fifth part of the monster story of Game of Thrones, so I don't have any excuse not to read it anymore /a little bit helpless on the issue/. If I've read Lord of the Rings,  then  my excuse that this book is too long is  completely invalid /wry smile/. Added bonus -  at least for him -  is that   reading of this monster would take  me a long way from computer.
