Another Year

The birthday yesterday was a good one, nice and low-key.

sdrohc_ratiug and I went out to a slightly early dinner and instead of going to the usual birthday restaurant of choice, we had pho. Which I think was a fantastic idea, because it is warm and nicely light and comfortable there. The usual birthday restaurant is usually chilly and a bit darker and, y'know, the food is sometimes not as completely delicious and amazing as it should be for the price.

Whereas pho...I think I have a new favorite food.

Afterward we stopped at Starbucks and then came home for cake and presents. Then I talked Dahlia into sticking around and we watched the Supernatural pilot (baby Dean without the Batman voice! baby Sam!). It was really difficult to convince her to stay. ;)

Strangely enough, I do feel older. I imagine this will last out the day, at which point I will go back to feeling twelve and wondering why people think I'm a responsible adult.

Today Is For...

- finishing the city council article

- cleaning

- working on those prompts from Thursday. I had several ideas for the NCIS prompt, but all of them basically ended up making me flail with fail. Until last night when I had a light bulb moment. A pornographic one.

Y'know, one of these days I'm going to write something that isn't rated NC-17 and is longer than 200 words. Really.

Sometimes I worry about the fact that I can't. Or at least can't very often.

- this icon of Castiel made by everlyn. Because it drives me subtly crazy. Or subtly drives me crazy. I'm not sure which. I'm not sure it matters. I just really like it. Something about the tie and the shirt and his neck and his mouth, the slight tilt of his head...
