the heart's filthy lesson falls upon deaf ears
I had a good birthday. It snowed a little in the morning, and the pine trees on the far hill looked amazing, but it soon melted in the rain :(
I got books from my mum, and also a massive metal star (larger than my handspan) which I can hang from the ceiling? a wall? wherever? My brother and sister in law gave me money. I am resisting the urge to spend it on (more) books (right now I am absolutely dying to get my hands on a copy of David Bowie Is..., or the Nicholas Pegg biog, or the book about the lyrics, but I guess I can save those as a goal for later). Instead I am going to put it towards a scanner. Because my old one is almost old enough to take its GCSEs. (Also its colour repro is not as good as it used to be, but I suspect that's down to its age).
I got a picture from my nephew that he did at school, and it is blue and sparkly, and honestly it could not be a better picture for me. I'm going to put it on the wall, because I am a proud rellie :)
I baked chocolate chip and marshmallow biscuits while I listened to Low on vinyl (lucky we have a portable record player, eh?) I listened to some other stuff and noodled around on the internet while they baked. (The one I had was distinctly average, but everyone else enjoyed theirs, so??? My sister in law said the marshmallow ones were like eating candy floss).
Then I made pancakes, because it was coincidentally also pancake day yesterday. They were nice, but could've done with a bit more cooking (I've never made pancakes before, so yay for new experiences). My sister in law was well impressed, and said I am very creative in the kitchen. Nah, not really, I just like making things that are not meals.
Anyway, it was one of the nicest, chillest birthdays I've ever had and that was pretty cool. Now I am another year older, and I still don't feel it.

Um, what the heck? I didn't get any chocolate chip and marshmallow biscuits!! lol but seriously that sounds delicious.
I don't even think it's possible to feel another year older. I still haven't actually felt 20-22, how am I even 23? I just don't know.

I would totally send you some! Though I don't know if they'd survive well enough (though the crumbs might be tasty ;) ). I might have to wrap them very well :D
Me either! I still feel like an eighteen year old. I can't believe people let me adult and everything. I feel like someone's going to catch me out in a minute and tell me off because OBVIOUSLY I shouldn't be allowed to make all these important decisions and so on.

Same. I feel like I'm just lying to the "actual adults" and they're going to find out eventually XD

Yeah, it's weird, isn't it? Do all adults (like our parents, for example) feel like this? Or is it just, I dunno, people my age and younger? *shrugs*
