Birthday the 31st.

It was my birthday today, and my friend had to go the the dentist.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, and today was my great uncle's funeral.

I attended the requiem mass for him and it was rather nice.

It doesn't really feel like a birthday but I always expect a birthday party with cake, candles, balloons, streamers and crepe-paper chains, and some presents and musical chairs and pass the parcel and ice cream and jelly, and fruit salad and potato chips with dip.

And screaming kids who get over excited and eat too much. And fizzy drink aka soda pop aka soft drink. And... fruit punch with ice. Made with fruit juice and tea and ginger beer.

I love coke floats aka spiders too. Love them. Good with french vanilla or plain vanilla ice cream, or chocolate ice cream. Ahhhh...

Parties.

I like them a lot. But I do not know why.

I suppose these are childhood memories I am holding on to.

Anyway this birthday I had money for once but I did not geek out like I thought I would.

Bought only one anime thing and no sci-fi or gaming stuff.

I bought only one Pokemon figurine (a Piplup), and I bought socks, stockings and leggings.

So pleased. Even though I am clearly becoming a nana.

Tempted to start saving for a PSVita.

And a 3DS too. Would get the 3DS first of course. Then I could get Rumble Blast.

Wanna play the latest SEGA game with the Vocaloids in it, what is it called again... I forgot...

Ah well, they don't have it in English anyway and it is not sold in my country.

Maybe one day.

Right, gotta go put my feet up, clomped around town in my heavy boots because they were black and funereal. And yes, funereal is a real word.

Bye, everyone!!!! Btw God Bless you this year.

Thank you God for today, You have blessed me already with my family and friends.

You give me hope of another future, Jesus.

Funerals are never the end for us.

It does NOT.

What doesn't kill you does not always make you stronger, that is a stupid saying.

It can maim or cripple you for life. It does not usually make you STRONGER!!!

It's annoying when people say that. Stop trotting out little cliques. STOP IT!

I'm not really thinking of anything in particular but that saying began to annoy me some time ago when I really thought about it.

So I am making a stand.

Now all I need to do is start thinking before I speak.

Yay!

Do I really?

I'm on the bus and the sunlight is very strong so I said to myself, 'The sunlight is harsh'. Then I thought, 'That is amazingly familiar', and yep, was thinking of the move 'Sunny Day'.

And then I thought, 'Do I play too much Pokemon?' But of course nobody could ever say 'Yes' to that question.

PS my friend called me Lord Princess and I might just keep that name. If it becomes catchy.
