Aw, thanks everybody. For a minute there I was almost certain I'd have to make my own thread; and boy would that have been pathetic. Justin, turns out I can't read a calendar and my birthday was in fact today on sunday. So no worries. Thanks for the video, I've seen it, but hey, it's the thought that counts.
Today was off to a rocky start, but it's brightened up quite a bit now. This thread helped. Excluding the aforementioned gifts, I got a fancy copy of
Hellboy II, an art book, some sweats (needed them), a couple of shirts, a leather jacket I was eying, and a wireless mouse to go with the mousepad.
