It's My Birthday!!

This is a little bit of a nothing-y post, because I've got a moment of internet connectivity out of my hitherto dead laptop, and it's my birthday. Unfortunately, I do not actually have a cupcake tower like this (sob), however I do have the remnants of a green sponge chocolate iced dinosaur cake, decorated with many different kinds of sweets... It is my 24th birthday, and yes, I am a little bit immature! Also the reason that it was a green cake is because my sister (who's 22) insisted that it couldn't be a dinosaur cake unless it was green, as dinosaurs are monsters, monsters are green, hence green cake. Of course....

I've just got back from a weekend of loveliness back in the London suburbs with my (enormous and mental) family, and a few of my close friends. There has been large amounts of giggling, eating, and of course, drinking. On Saturday night we watched the 25th Anniversary Concert of Les Miserables, which is my favourite musical of ALL TIME, and invented a drinking game to go with it. Some of the rules were truly ridiculous - i.e. Drink whenever somebody holds a note on for an abnormally long time. If any of you have seen the musical, you will know that this happens a lot. Needless to say, the night ended very very late, and I spent most of Sunday recovering (with the help of my mum's Roast dinner, and The King's Speech - great film!).

So now I'm back, straight back to work, and thinking about all the reviews and features I need to write. Our main PC has caught some kind of disgusting deadly virus, and so I'm not touching it with a bargepole, and am relegated to my teeny little netbook, but oh well. I acquired (of course) a lot of books over my birthday weekend. Gifts aside (and I got a fair few of those), there's a huge car boot sale on every Sunday not far from my Mum's, and so we went, and many many people were selling books 6 for £1. How could I turn them down??? I have some beautiful things, beautiful pictures of which will be posted at a later date, when I'm less lazy, and for now, I'm off to get birthday fish and chips with my man :-)

Just before I go, I want to give a shout out to the most recent of my sisters to get a blog! She's mental, mutli-coloured, very bouncy, and talks a LOT! Her name is Miriam, and you can find her here. She's not written much yet, but she will, and it will be entertaining! If you're so inclined, find her on Deviant Art too. She's lovely!

Anyway, off I go! What're you all reading on my lovely rainy birthday?
