“Stop taking pictures,” they cried,”Blow out the candles!”

Would just like to point out that this is the cake my Grandma got me, not because she thinks I’m 4, but because she thought I’d like it.

Even if she had to tell the bakery that I was young young, when they asked, so she didn’t seem really strange buying a Yu-Gi-Oh cake for her 27 year old granddaughter.

My mother has similar stories, when she’s out buying fairy or elf themed jewelry.

I told them this year was easy, and to think of how much harder it’ll be to hide my age when I’m 50! What can I say, I’ll always be young at heart.

Had a good birthday week, I had 3 different cakes(one of them ice cream)! And lots of lovely, thoughtful gifts. My husband seemed especially dedicated to making sure I had a great time.

The Spunky Girlchild
-
Big sparkly eyes and an extremely cutesy
fashion sense required; adorable hairstyle and
low tolerance for sugar preferred. Must think
the Hero Without A Past is the hottest thing
since sliced bread; however, said crush is not
required to go past the puppy-love stage.
Job Hazards–Sorry, but if your home hasn’t been
attacked and/or destroyed yet, sooner or later
it will be.

Examples: Yuffie Kisaragi, Selphie, Eiko Carroll,

Ugh, I hurt my back badly at work last wednesday, and have spent 4 days on my back with my legs up.

My birthday is wednesday. Usually I’m excited about the prospect. I can’t believe it’s here so fast, and in a way I’m dreading it. My family has always gotten together for birthdays… I’m very sad my father won’t be there.

But I have made a birthday wishlist, http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/392S0DWMXY58S which is much shorter than my massive regular amazon wishlist, http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/wishlist/2IAY6JHWOWTTI/ .

Some other things that would be neat:

Subscriptions
Draw!
Shojo Beat

Certificates
Copic Marker
Best buy certificate (I’m saving for a camera)

Misc
manicure
pedicure
salon massage
more livejournal

It’s been a dark summer, emotionally. I’ve spent several weeks in misery, depression, and general sadness. There were days where I felt I couldn’t close my eyes without finding myself trapped in that amber afternoon in those last hours I spent with my father. Times I felt I couldn’t breathe, remembering his last gasping breaths.

This emotion is akin to falling down a rabbit hole, a long floating sensation where almost every sure thing in my world has been swept about in a maelstrom, leaving me little to hang onto.

Still, where there were weeks and days full of this intense emotional fog, there are now mostly just moments that I allow to pass me swiftly. I felt like I was drowning in those amber moments, but now I have surfaced. Perhaps only my head is above the waters, but I’m still swimming, I’m going to make it.

I’ve been both ‘keeping busy’ while at the same time ‘searching for purpose’. Some days just feel pretty pointless. Better days happen when I take the time to make lists and fulfill them.

I move ahead in some goals, while others elude me. I’ve been reading a good deal, and filling my other moments with intentions of working on art and writing. Some of those intentions haven’t been realized, mostly related to things like exercising and working on the comic.

I know I’m still using these things to escape, but the sheer weight of sadness has lessened a bit, and I’m finding it a bit easier to be around my family and friends. I know I haven’t been the easiest one to be around, but am thankful for the love and patience my husband and everyone has given me.

Time allows us only to move forward.
