I did have a happy birthday, and thanks to everyone who said so: Hannah, Chas, Cecilia, Lydia, Berta, Amy, Duncan, Maham, Hwaran, May, Alissa, Kali, and so on.

Here’s the required bulleted gift list (Now with 33% more commentary):

• From Parents:
  • Black sweater
  • Plum collared shirt
  • Ferruche gold t-shirt with brown trim
  • Lucky brand brown corduroys
  • Clothes are always considered a lame birthday gift, but I have to say these are pretty awesome
• From Hannah: A wonderful handmade book of photos of us. It’s super cute and because she made it late at night, super silly.
• From Amy:
  • Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robots pen: This thing is way more fun than it should be
  • Modeling clay: Everyone love modeling clay
  • Journal with a big purple flower. Inside joke about our advert design class: I try to stick a flower in my projects whenever possible.
  • Assorted Candies: Mmm.
  • Rubber Ducky Soap: Is she saying I smell bad? :)
• Duncan: 3 crisp fivers. Duncan’s all about the cash monay.
• Maham: Limericks. They were too awful wonderful to reproduce here. Trust me. Bad Enlightening. I guess it’s the thought that counts :)
• Alissa: Sign. She made me a big sign that said ‘Happy Birthday Fergus!’ I felt a bit self-conscious walking around with a sign that said that, but you know, it’s cool.

Thanks again everyone!

After school Duncan and Hannah came over. We partook in delicious black bean lasanga and lemon poppyseed cake courtesy of my Mother. Delicious. Hannah and I snuggled and watched Osamu Tezuka’s Metropolis. Now I’m writing this, and going to bed contented.
