I just realized that today is the first birthday in three years in which I have had a job.
This past Saturday, Rose bought me the perfect birthday present. A teapot. But not just any teapot. Read about it. I'll post a picture of mine later today. It looks better than the one pictured here. Eventually, Rose and I will get a buffet with many different teas and have soirées de thé for our friends. I am very much looking forward to this. You might not understand, but this is probably the most thoughtful gift I've had in years. I am about to reveal a little-known fact about myself: I like teapots. When I told a friend of mine this, she responded with, "That's the gayest thing you've ever said." And she'd know, but feel free to discuss amongst yourselves.
Later, I will post my most treasured memory from last year's birthday. It chokes me up so much that I can't even listen to it anymore. Hopefully I'll get another one this year.
By the way, I'm 31 today. Feel free to offer congratulations or condolences, as appropriate. Oh, and if you know of any non-alcoholic birthday specials, please let me know. I feel like spending some money, and it doesn't look as though there will be much booze involved this year.
Most excellent birthday wishes, Jonas! :) Welcome to primehood.
Happy Birthday, Jonas! Looks like we share the same month. I'm on the 12th of November and I'll be of age to really feel the burn of so many failed life expectations --- 32.
I believe the word of that day will be 'fuckityfuckfuck'. :D
About the teapot: It definitely suggests you've got a Queer Eye --- for a straight guy. Still, it's an eclectic side of your personality that makes it just interesting enough to not point and snicker at you ... Prusty.
Sorry. Couldn't resist.
Hey hey! Happy birthday doode!
Ha - I forgot about Prusty.
And you are a...um... dark horse.
Teapots?
...and not the little ones, short and stout, with the tipping and the pouring out... I know what I mean.
Anyhoo. yeah. Teapots.
My brother bought be a stainless steel indian one with two inner compartments for 2 person tea-ing.
Congrats on 31. It wasn't so bad, eh?
I have 35 to look forward to in 18 days.
Then its the home straight to 40.
And a midlife crisis!
happy bday!!!! :)
