.................................

Speak to me in a language I can hear
Humour me before I have to go
Deep in thought I forgive everyone
As the cluttered streets greet me once again
I know I can't be late, supper's waiting on the table
Tomorrow's just an excuse away
So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own
The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
Steeple guide me to my heart and home
The sun is out and up and down again
I know I'll make it, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you
And for a moment I lose myself
Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
I've journeyed here and there and back again
But in the same old haunts I still find my friends
Mysteries not ready to reveal
Sympathies I'm ready to return
I'll make the effort, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
Tomorrow's just an excuse
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you



I was originally going to link the lyrics to various pictures and/or websites that related to the words (ala Ape10) but have decided (obviously!) against taking the time and energy to do that. Go team lazy!

So. 33 years old today. The day has been overall a really good one. First and foremost, we're all alive and not undead (even Angel, whom I did not truly eat). Which is something to be thankful for on a daily basis and that we really do take for granted.

But other things that made today great:
Ghost Busters (both 1 & 2 on DVD were given to me. We watched the first one this afternoon.) That really is a classic movie.
I now own a Nintendo DS! Hooray! This will come in quite handy (ha! pun!) when I'm on the bus - which will probably be much more often what with gas prices and all.
Pop Tarts for breakfast.
The finale of the birthday songs. Which included the lyrics, "Say good bye to young, say hello to old." Ahh, childhood.
Racing on MarioKart.
The Pepsi symbol coaster that Saren made for me. (It's extra large to compensate for the Super Big Gulp cups I use)
The drawings made by Harper - especially the MarioKart one.
Saren's hand-made "Picture holder", for me to hang the drawings on.
Hugs.
Leftover cake birthday cake from yesterday.
Amusing youtube videos (I'll post/link them on another day)
Purchasing (and reading) Buffy Season 8's episode #14. (I think I'm still two issues behind, but we'll get those eventually.)
Washing the van.
Stephanie posted her one millionth post! Yay!!
Being together.

So, yeah. This has been a good birthday.
