Thank you all very much for your congratulations and kind wishes
I complied to your favor request David and had a good time yesterday. Though I admit the first somewhat "positive" aspect of the day was somewhat vicious. I'm currently in a school internship for the university for which I would have had to be around school from 8am to about noon. However, not only were the two teachers ill whose classes I would have attended but the supply teachers as well (schools are probably the worst breeding ground for epidemics apart from hospitals here in Germany

) in any case I could leave at 10am already and did some organizational work for the VHS (the adult education center where I am working) where I even got a present from the head of the foreign language department (she is a very kind person).
In the afternoon both of my parents visited me and we had some cake (one I had baked and one my Mum had brought along). I got among other a new backpack (the zipper of my old one was broken, but you will hardly ever see me anywhere outside without wearing my bagpack

), some good clothes I had wished and a new frying pan (the teflon from the old one is pretty much gone). At my age one has mostly "useful" stuff on the wishlist, the kind one would not have appreciated so much as a kid
In the evening I went to some friends and we continued playing a fantasy pen and paper RPG in the process of which one elve from our group came close to murdering the scald whom I am playing (that scald will never understand why the elve doesn't like him, nor does the player of said scald

:). On sunday there will be another celebration with my grandma, aunt, uncle and two cousins of mine.
You don't mind what I decide to write down, right? Not even something related to Bionicle?
Oh please don't worry too much Chronicler. It is that it is written by you as a fellow GOF member that would make it special. If you want to, you could also just give me your autograph, or congratulations. There is absolutely no need for you to come up with a rhetorical masterpiece along the lines of the Gettysburg address (but of course you can quote it if you want to

).
