What made me happy today? Birthday shenanigans!
As you may remember, it was my birthday on Wednesday. And I have to say, I celebrated it thoroughly this year :-)
On Wednesday, my parents came over. I had asked them to give me socks as a birthday present, just so I could say: 'Master has given Dobby a sock. Master has presented Dobby with clothes. Dobby is free!' That made my mom look very confused. my dad, on the other hand, had this resigned look on his face, as if to say 'oh no, she's at it again'. After this we went for Mexican food. Yummie!
On Friday, I met up with my boyfriends. Together we went to his parents. They gave me a very lovely card. My boyfriend had gotten me 'Vader's little princess', a comic about Darth Vader raising princess Leia. We had seen that one in the window of a bookstore. I squee'd so much over it, which he took as a hint :-) Best birthday present! We had raclette, with actual Swiss cheese, bought during our vacation there. Then we had ice-cream! Nom!
Yesterday, my boyfriend and I met up with some other friends for sushi. It was delicious! After the sushi, we went for some drinks. We had some great conversations, and discussed some very varied topics, ranging from your average geekery to nuclear science and privacy laws. This is why I like my friends. But the bar we were at was very full and noisy, so around midnight I started thinking about going home. But just as I was about to get up, another friend came in. He had said he couldn't make it to my little party, as he was abroad for a conference. But after he landed, he decided to stop by and have a quick drink :-) Around 01.45 o'clock we all decided to go home.
I think that I have never celebrated my birthday as much as this year. And I have some great friends too!

Birthday girl!
What made me happy today? I'm the birthday girl!
It's my birthday today! Of course, it would be a lot less awesome if I didn't share it with some of my favorite people! Will Smith, alien *ss buster par excellence. Jamie Hyneman, the mustachio'd Mythbuster. And Mark Hamill, aka Luke Skywalker! Maybe the reason I turned out the way I did, is because I share my birthday with these guys ;-)
Of course, birthdays are meant to be celebrated! So I'm going for dinner with my parents tonight. And my weekend will be filled with birthday shenanigans too. Friday I'll be having raclette with my BF and his parents, Saturday it's time for sushi and drinks with some friends. Sunday concludes the birthday blast with my weekly session of Vampire :-)
The award for most original birthday wish goes to 2 people this year. My boyfriend, who wished me a 'happy escape from your mother's womb' day; and another friend said this: 'A useless factoid to remember: today it's exactly 1 year from your last birthday...'
I can't believe how fast the past year of my life flew by. So many wonderful things have happened in that past year. Scroll through my blog and you'll see what I mean :-)
So happy birthday to me! Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday! And let's hope I'll be around for many, many years to come!

Brave books
What made me happy today? Having an awesome weekend in London!
Okay, technically, it was in Watford. But it was fun!
We (that is the BF and I) took the Eurostar on Friday. All went well, and soon I was reunited with my brain-twin! Underground we went, to take the underground! (see what I did there?) One stop later we hopped onto a train, and soon we got to our destination. Went to Tesco the next morning, huzzah for cheap, healthy cookies! We also wend book-shopping on Saturday, as both the BF and myself are avid readers. I scored a grand total of 12 books, at some really awesome low prices (yay for charity shops!)! And to top it off, we had supper at the local pub. I had the all-day breakfast :-) Yum!
That evening it was time for my brain-twin's Brave themed birthday party. As she is a dead ringer for princes Merida, we all dressed up! No pics yet, they will follow once I get them. It was a blast! I discovered cider, we played darts and pool and had loads of laughs. There was a moment in which we thought I might be secretly British, I love cider and my favorite flavour of crisps is salt & vinegar. But as I don't like queuing, and have no sentiment regarding talking about the weather it was unanimously decided I am in fact not British after all. Last call came too fast, so we relocated to my brain-twins house. Talked, laughed some more, discovered you can order booze online and watched some Black Books :-) I went to bed around 2, happy but totally tired.
Sunday, we woke up around noon. Had some breakfast, I dyed my brain-twin's hair, talked a lot more, went back to Tesco (jam-filled donuts for 65p? No wonder there's an obesity problem) and bought some food. Back home pancakes and jam-filled donuts were served for afternoon tea, after which we went for a walk, and sat in a park. A perfect way to end a perfect weekend!
Today we came home, which was totally uneventful. So now I'm off to bed, to have fun-filled dreams :-)

London calling!
What made me happy today? London is calling!
And I will answer :-) It was my brain twin's birthday last weekend, and we'll celebrate it in style this weekend! The BF is coming as well, it'll be his fist trip in London. I'm happy he's coming along. I don't really mind traveling by myself, but it's nice to have someone to share the experiences with! It'll be awesome to see my brain twin again, it's been way too long...
Yes, my bag is packed and I'm ready to go! But first I have one more day of work ahead of me.
So London, beware because I'm coming your way!

List
What made me happy today? A whole list of things!
One year ago today, my goddaughter was born :-) She is the most precious, amazing little girl ever. It's fantastic to see how she's evolving and learning new things all the time. I love her so much and I'm glad my sister and brother in law chose me to be her godmother!
I got a very tasty sandwich at work, for free! Who doesn't like free food?
Plus, my arm is hurting less after yesterday's scan. 40 minutes in the same position with a coil around my elbow and a weighted bag on my hand. Au. But it has subsided back to the old levels so it's bearable again.
And finally, it's Friday 3 cheers for the weekend!
Hope you have a good one, I know I will :-)
