Thank you so much, all of you. :^.^:
Happy birthday, Allearth! 
Lots of self-esteem, creativity, and energy I wish you for the 25th year of your life. 
Happy birthday Bryan! Have a great day! 
Wow, happy happy HAPPY Birthday, Pangy!!! 
: I be wishing you a good one! *glomps!!*
Oh dear, I have several names now!
Whoop, looks like my real name is out, too. :! Ah, I don't care anymore.
I'm happy to say that I had a fantastic birthday. One of my brothers who's taking an internship out of state sent me a wonderful hand-drawn card, which we retrieved from the mailbox just as he was talking to us on the phone. For dinner we cooked marinated chicken and watermelon on the grill (I'd seen a magazine article about "things you didn't know you could grill" and was curious to try it
:). I got some wonderful gifts, including Season 7 of
MythBusters on DVD and a complete set (150 count) of Prismacolor colored pencils (so the next time I do artwork, I'll have the entire rainbow and then some at my disposal
). The cake was Duncan Hines triple chocolate with triple chocolate fudge chip frosting offset with vanilla ice cream (that much chocolate on its own is almost too much to handle!), and blew out all twenty-four candles in one breath, embers and all.
Finally my youngest brother and I went to see
Ice Age: Continental Drift (which was
epic). And tomorrow we're driving out to Nevis, Minnesota to tour an emu ranch, which I'm very excited for. So yes, it was a good birthday.
Thanks again for remembering my star day, everyone.
Sincerely,
Pangaea (or whatever you prefer to call me
)
