I do not like having my time wasted.

There are some things you can't help. It was not my choice to, a month before I'm to leave my current position, attend an all-day seminar about shipping dangerous goods. ( Happy Birthday to me. )

On a happier note, for my birthday, my roommates got me an awesome and delcious cake (and the entirety of Buffy the Vampire Slayer!), and moonlightalice+wellgull got me money to use at AMC theaters, which will never, ever go to waste. (I know I can now see at least a few movies that I otherwise wouldn't in theaters!) My former roommate gave me a lovely cupcake which I'm saving for when I have room in my belly again. I'm still full today because I had delicious Ethiopian food with a few folks as won't be able to make the Kick-Ass party. I have excellent friends whom I love to pieces. You all rock. It is official.

(FYI: Presents are not to be brought to the Kick-Ass party. They're not to be given to me, period. Absolutely not necessary. My present is having you come with--I know not all of you are won over by the trailers and aren't anticipating a great time. I hope that you're wrong in that regard. I hope that good food and company are worthy substitutes if the movie does not live up to its title.)
