Prezzies

Well, the birthday came and went. Not that I'm completely materialistic, but I must wax rhapsodic about some of the booty I received. Highlights include:

• A very disturbing CD containing about an hour's worth of irate and crazed messages, culled from the answering machine of a very unfortunate individual named Mark, from what can only be described as the Ex-Girlfriend From Hell. Said CD was very thoughtfully sent to me by my excellent friend, the Marquis.
• A biography of Lord Alfred Douglas, from my sister Tina, who I suspect purchased this with grave reservations on her part; when I spoke with her later in the evening to thank her, she replied curtly: "Bosie was a dirtbag, dude."
• Tina also managed to find an autographed photo of Eric Idle for me. I very nearly soiled myself when I unwrapped it.
• The Mobtowns sent me the John Waters "Trash Trio" collection of screenplays, which was very thoughtful of them, not to mention appropriate, them bein' from Baltimore an' all.
• My mother-in-law got me paperdolls of Henry VIII and his wives! No, the heads don't come off of Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard. I checked.
• The topper, though? The Dr. Laura Game. My brother, Bill, and my sister-in-law, Brenda, got it for me. Yes, it's totally for real. I haven't removed the shrink wrap from it yet, I am that terrified. I will have to have everyone over sometime soon for a rousing game.

All in all, an excellent day. I like being 32.

Paula's birthday party was totally fun. Aaron managed to miraculously arrange a party-slash-tribute-show without her figuring it out. I showered her with all kinds of bright sparkly trifles and she grabbed my ass. Couldn't have been more fun.
