Thanks to sleeplessknight, darkleaves, Chris, Alina, miss_tease, _darkpixie_, opulence_9, Ryan, Peter, replicant6, kitsune_13, and langsuir all for coming out to help valerian and I belatedly celebrate my birthday. All in all it was a brilliant day. We woke up late, strawberrygrrl and saturn13's wedding having been the night before and, once we got our asses in gear met up with _darkpixie_ and evilyn13 for a late lunch since evilyn13 was going to working the door at Sin City and unable to come to they pre-Sin birthday festivities. I've missed hanging out with her.

After lunch it was a bit of a scramble to get the apartment cleaned up before people started arriving, but we managed. The party went smashingly and I was touched by all the thoughful gifts.
