And another year...

[larthan]

I'm 21. As of Saturday. Yeah. I don't think anyone other than my housemate, his mum, and my family even knew. My good-for-nothing grandfather who was supposed to give me the rest of my money never even called to wish me a happy birthday. I think he's avoiding me.
But...
Now it'll no longer be fun to steal wine from my housemate at fancy dinners. Ohwell. Since I don't really care to drink much anyway, I'll attempt to continue to do so, under the guise of being under 21. Noone has to know until they ask for my ID, right?

Anyway, yeah. The car actually behaved herself this weekend. I'm trying to think of a name for her, but for now she's just B.O.B. Bob. She's my beast of burden. She needs a name as wicked and slow (and loud) as she is. I'm having no luck. Well, it could be worse. I could call her Steve, and come up with some meaning for it. But I won't. She's just Bob for now. And she's definitely a she. The bitch. *peers at it*

She was acting like she was misfiring. I can't leave her parked for more than two days at a time or her battery gets drained from the (factory original!) radio-clock inside, that stays on all the time at a -very- bright level. Damn thing. Thinking of replacing it...

But she didn't misfire the three and a half hours there, the hour and a half driving around, and the three and a half / four hours back home... so I'm hoping that some bad gas (dirty or watered down) was the issue, and has resolved itself. And at least she has gas. And at least I know the battery's good, and it's just the damn clock giving me issues.

Happy Birthday! Haven't seen you guys in a while, would you like to get together for dinner sometime? This week, I'm free every evening except tonight, Monday when I work late.

Thanks, and we should. Speaking of which, I need to ask, would you be able to take care of the kitties Friday - Sunday for us? Completely forgot Elliott's was coming up until it was mentioned yesterday! D8

I can take care of the kitties for you those days; no problem. Want to have dinner on Wednesday evening and you can pass along the house key? Have Tom decide where we should go eat (I think he's the pickiest eater); I work til 5:30 but could meet you where ever by 6ish.

That sounds like a good idea. Brim is supposed to have the day off that evening, so perhaps we could kidnap him and go out to meet you.

Any places you will not go to at all, on your end? Just so it'll help me in my prodding Tom? ^^

Happy belated birthday to you, too. *hugs*

I need to send another gift your way.

[larthan.livejournal.com]

o.o I just wanna hug that avatar. It's so cute.

Have you ever seen the movie? o.o

[larthan.livejournal.com]

No. But the critter is sooo cute. The huge eyes and nose and the fluff! *clings to it*

Happy belated birthday m'dear! :)

Thanks! It went well, I think. My grandmother sent me a paper weight (pewter dragon curled up on top of a 'glass' ball) and a purse (which I won't use because I don't wear purses. I'm not a girly girl xD). And my mate got me a new sketchbook. I'm happy. :P More than I've gotten in a long, long time.
