Happy birthday to me!
Squashed tomatoes and peas!
Bread and butter in the gutter,
Happy birthday to meeeee!
Yes, today I became another year older (all in 24 hours, isn’t that amazing?) I am now old enough to.. well, actually, pretty much the same shizzle as before.
Having pre-booked the day off work before Christmas, I celebrated the day in typical Jem fashion — by doing absolutely bugger all. I saw my niece and nephew, poked fun at my lazy unemployed brother and ate “jizm cake”. So called because of the white chocolate drizzled all over the top. If you don’t know what jizm is, don’t look it up because you really don’t want to know.
While I’m not one to do the whole “show and tell” when it comes to gifts, I don’t mind sharing that Karl has bought me a Crumpler bag, as recommended by many which is due to arrive mid-week, and my dear Mummy bought me a much-needed 3rd wiimote (wii party at mine on the 12th and none of you are invited! Hah.) My other brother — not the lazy one — bought me a box of Thorntons Dark. Oh how I love thee (the chocolates, not my brother.. silly!) and I got a collection of cards from various sources.
On top of all that I woke this morning to a mountain of birthday emails and comments, not all of which I’ve had chance to respond to yet, that I didn’t even expect (because I don’t tend to publicise my birthday). They’re all hitting me up with some love on Snark too. Isn’t that just the sweetest, most vomit-worthy shit you ever heard? ;)
Hip-hip-hooray! Hip-hip-hooray! Hip-hip-hooray! Here’s to another year of my boring and yet strangely addictive (it’s got to be, right?) blog entries.
Edit: Some pictures that people sent to me: birthday cat 1 / birthday cat 2. Free LOLcats for all! (Both popular myspace cat meme things; original sources unknown.) Spider the cat (who belongs to Tish) says Happeh Burfdai.

You should take up poetry, really. With such description, Shakespearean sonnets can very well hide =P Once again: happy birthday!

Oh wait Jem — I thought no one liked you and your site was shit?? I like you, Happy birthday Queen Bee!

Happy Birthday, Jem. Check your email for your presents from me. I also put them in the BBS for you. I hope you like them.

More birthday wishes from me. Even though it’s over in your neck of the woods. That is the first time I have ever used “your neck of the woods,” in a sentence. I am turning into a grandfather, and I am not even as old as you, or male!

08 Jan at 7:37 pm
Whee! Hope you did have a great Happy Birthday but apparently you did! :D I never heard of Crumpler bag! I usually get shoulder bag when its long enough and fit under my arms n such. They’re usually hard to find and I’m picky, haha. Anyways, hope you have a great Happy New Year! :)
08 Jan at 10:35 pm
