Birthday Squee (see moe icon)

[jedishampoo]

I had a really lovely birthday! I didn’t really mope much at all, I think. I got so many phone calls and e-mails and thoughts and some cards and prezzies from my lovely roomie sharpeslass to keep me occupied and happy, and I’m truly grateful to have so many good friends and I’m such a lucky girl. :) ::tries to stop the gushing::



I woke up and sharpeslass had set me up a little table display of my presents. Isn’t it pretty? :)



She made me yummy eggs benedict-- vegetarian, of course (she doesn’t even have to ask any more what I want for special occasion breakfasts; she just buys the ingredients for eggs benedict, heh)-- and then I got to open my presents. I got a Pinocchio DVD, a Tamaki plushie (squeeeeee for Tamaki!) and a gorgeous dress I’d been drooling over.

You see, I’d seen this pink, fluffy, frilly dress in the Pyramid Collection catalog and was going to buy it for myself, but sneaky sharpeslass and my boss had convinced me that another dress in the catalog would look better on me. I was sad because they thought the pink, fluffy, frilly dress would not look good on me. “Am I not girly enough for the pink, fluffy, frilly dress?” I thought. Turns out M had already bought it for me. And it fits! Please excuse the picture, though; I just plain do not pose for pics and it flows better than it looks:



Here’s the Tamaki plushie with sharpeslass’s cat, Nina. Tamaki/Nina OTP!1!! Aren’t they cute?



sharpeslass also got us pedicures. We now have pretty toesies with flowers on them! And online, there are some cuuute gifts from kispexi2, sakuraharu, riverlad and helliongoddess on my profile! Thank you to all who gave me birthday wishes on e-mail and on lj and everything, too. And oooh, and I got fic! Gojyo/Sanzo numminess FTW!

I got an awesome and daring and very dark-- yes, by request but interpreted beautifully and gut-wrenchingly-- Gojyo/Sanzo story by a darling posting under the handle ginsake, go read it if you dare: The Watcher. (Warning for noncon and more, and yes, I totally asked.)

inksheddings wrote some hot n’ sexy n’ hot 53 action with that 53 brand of sweetness: Consumed by What’s to Transpire.

And rehtaeh11 surprised me with a fun and sexah voyeur!Sanzo ficlet (mmm, voyeur!Sanzo), Peeping Sanzo!

Thank you to you all!!! You rock so hard. And V, you are right-- I don’t feel older. Maybe it hasn’t sunk in, yet? Hee.

I'm so glad you liked the fic! I don't know why, considering it's not even my pairing, but I always manage to write them to even my liking. *laughs*

I'm especially glad you had a good birthday, and that you don't feel older. Don't worry about it sinking in, it doesn't really. You just keep waking up thinking, "Hey, this isn't bad at all!" Honest. ♥


omg want that dress!

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

I'm just glad that when you write 53 you give them HOTSMUT! Bwahaha!

Thank you for that! And the dress is so awesome and summery. :)

Aw... that Tamaki plushie is every bit as adorable as I expected it to be. ^^ And the dress is lovely, especially around the neckline... and I was SOOOO -not- staring at your chest, I swear! Okay, I'm sorry. Really, that was uncalled for. *face palm*

Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the day, it sounds like you got all kinds of wonderful things. I have to say that dark fic was not as bad as I expected it to be, in fact it was quite good. I was actually surprised to be the first one to comment on it, since I'm sure there were people who read it before I did.

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

I did enjoy it-- thank you for the fic!

Hey, I hope people stare at my neckline. The dress is actually more cleave-tastic than I'd thought it would be. ;)

::luvs Tamaki::

[hollywdliz.livejournal.com]

That dress is adorable! I'm so glad you had a good birthday.

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

I love the dress! It's so summery.

Wait... aren't you a May baby also?

Thank you!

[whymzycal.livejournal.com]

The dress is fab! You look really great. And FIC! Even the stuff that's not my normal fare was really good (and Inktastic always delivers the smexy). You inspire genius fic, my friend. You really do.

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad!! I love getting fic and having awesome people writing awesome fic for me is just... words cannot describe. ;)

Thank you! ::hugs::

[error256.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear you had a good BDay.
That dress suits you. I totally understand your frustration at first.
And I hope you don't mind that we enjoy your Gojyo/Sanzo numminess as well :D

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Oh, please enjoy the numminess! Yay, I'm glad my preferences are so well known. ;)

Thank you!

[rroselavy.livejournal.com]

That dress looks awesome on you! I'm so glad you had a happy birthday! Kudos to sharpeslass for making it so! ♥

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Whee, thank you so much!! sharpeslass was essential to making me not depressed. :)

[sharpeslass.livejournal.com]

I had a good jedishampoo's birthday as well. It was kind of like a three day celebration, really. You forgot to mention the Saturday sushi and the sunday movies. tut.
I'm glad I got to help make 40 bearable! I'm trusting you to cushion the blow for me when my time comes in December! You totally deserve all the best and I knew you would look great in the girly dress. (Sorry we had to decieve you, but weren't you surprised?)

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Well, if you look at my earlier post, the one just before this, I discuss the sushi outing and the movie (briefly). :)

::luv:: Thank you for the girly dress and everything else!

[rosiewook.livejournal.com]

a brilliantly played dress deception. It looks lovely.

I love Pyramid Collection. I'm hoping to buy some celebratory outfits from them when I reach goal weight.

Happy birthday, you fabulous thing.

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Oh, Pyramid Collection... sigh. I love their stuff. Some of their clothes are horrible (crochet dresses, anyone?) but then they have brilliant stuff to make up for it. Ooh, do you have some clothes picked out already?

Thank you so much!

[lysander-o.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you had a lovely birthday - good times :) That was so sweet of them sorting the dress for you- what thoughtful people.

And hehe yay for the Tamaki plushie XD

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Yay, Tamaki! Now I can squeeze him daily. :)

What do you think of my romantic Tamaki/Haruhi icon? Romantic in its own way, of course. ;)

[ghanistarkiller.livejournal.com]

Oh my God, that dress! I was just admiring it myself in the catalog and it looks fab on you (pose or no pose! ;-))! Glad you had a happy, happy day! :-D

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Heehee, I love that catalog!

Thank you dearie! ::hugs::

[minidrag33.livejournal.com]

You and your dress look beautiful! What a nice roomie. :)

I will read your stories. I think I already did one. YEA!

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy the fic.

Now if only I could get writin'...

[dm-lunsford.livejournal.com]

Love that dress! I get that catalog from time to time and they have some lovely clothes indeed. Sneaky of them to trick you, but I'm glad the surprise came off okay. ; )

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

I'm glad, too! Especially since the dress I DID purchase did not fit correctly! :) I do love that catalog and some of their historical-ish dresses. :)

[knight-ander.livejournal.com]

Happy Birthday! Just remember, you're only as young as you feel, just don't feel yourself too much.

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

::snork::

Thank you very much! And I don't feel a day older than I did last week. :)

[caeseria.livejournal.com]

*Hugs you* Totally, utterly love the dress!! You look fabulous in it!

I will admit I got a sneak preview of chibi!Tamaki :) Now plushie Sanzo has someone to slip the cock to play with since chibi!Gojyo is at my place!

Fic. Love it. You guys should have birthdays more often, especially you since it's all 53! ♥

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Thank you, darlin'!

OMG, Sanzo/Tamaki? Bet that's never been done! Wait, maybe Tamaki would top? ::bites nails::

Now you must make the icon... Sanzo/Tamaki/Sanzo OTP!1!!!11 FTW!!1!!

[lexsara.livejournal.com]

I LOVE the dress...I knew it would look great on you! So glad you had a good birthday and enjoyed it. Looks like you made out well!

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Heh, did you get to see it beforehand? :)

Thank you, sweetie! And thank you again for your prezzies. ::loves::

[clytemnaestra.livejournal.com]

Tamaki is putting the charm on Nina! LOL :)

I'm glad you had a happy birthday! And I'm sorry I didn't write you anything - I had a busy, stressful weekend of doom :( There is hope yet for an uber-late drabble though! We shall see.

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

I know! It looks like Tamaki is handing Nina the flower. Bless his heart.

No problem!! I appreciate your happy thoughts. ::hugs::

[suanz.livejournal.com]

You are so loved ^_^. Happy Belated Birthday.

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you! :)

Are you new to Saiyuki fandom? I don't think I've seen you around. If so, welcome! If not... whoops! That just means I'm dippy. :)

[beellegee.livejournal.com]

Well happy belated birthday! Am I on the ball or what? Glad you had a good one. You deserve it!

[jedishampoo.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

Aren't you a May birthday baby also?

[seshats-prodigy.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you had a good birthday, and you look very pretty in your new dress!! ♥
