Okay. I'm just taking a moment to list what I got for my birthday.
- glitter gel pens from Anne
- Two beautiful faux-red leather bound Agatha Christie novels from Mum. Hard-cover. With gold patterns on the front and Agatha Christie's signature in the same gold. Utterly beautiful books.
- A giant chocolate frog and adorable card from Alana
- A beautifully presented silver crab and a gorgeously painted and decorated card from cousin Michael and Sharman
- Three AWESOME DVDs from Tina and Tommo (Withnail and I, Cabaret and Jesus of Nazareth)
- A DVD of the Truman Show from Tully (I actually like that movie)
- A beautifully thick, illustrated book called "The A-Z of Great Writers". It has Agatha Christie, HG Wells, Oscar Wilde and Emile Zola in it, as well as Isaac Asimov, Homer and Virgil. I'm going to enjoy sitting down and giving this a good read. And a breathtakingly beautiful photo of his cat Reggie. All this from my darling Thomas Elton Tom. MWAH!
- You know those drum-rattle things they used in Karate Kid II to egg Ralph Machio to triumph in his FINAL BATTHAL?! Well my Auntie Veronica got me one of those, only more boldly coloured. :D
- A 50 dollar Jackson's card. Dear GOD I'm going to enjoy spending that!
- The most gorgeous Egyptian themed fabric and some lovely beads to make jewellry with from Helen, Peter, Solomon and Ruby-doo. Helen and Ruby also gave me a packet of Cheetos on Tuesday cause they know I have a soft spot for them.
- A bottle of strawberry champers from Paulie
- Shoes from cousin Rachael
- 20 dollars in the most awesome-cute little Doraimon envelope from Stephie-P
- Hand-painted mug proclaiming the phrase "Groovy Chick" and a "Do not disturb - hangover inside" door-sign thing from Petina and my nephs Jordan and Josh (They were totally trying to find me batteries for my sex toys, the dirty little buggers!)
- Lip d'Votion lip gloss by Bonne Bell from Lisa, Garry, Lily and Emmy. A really NICE lip gloss, applies with its own built in brush, smells like vanilla ice-cream, tastes like a dream, makes the lips look dreamy and kissable. Deliciously understated!
- This is the real kicker! A collection of Agatha Christie novels that took her TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS to collect - from my Auntie Theresa!!! Almost every book that Agatha Christie has ever written is in this box, only missing a few. I nearly cried. I couldn't cry - I was too stunned, too happy stunned. She seriously is one amazing woman.
I'm pretty sure that's all it. *nods* An amazing bunch of stuff, I feel so very lucky and incredibly touched by the generosity and love shown by people. And I had a fair amount of people at my party too, which was just - it was great. Amazing. No words!
Also, in my Online Birthday Bash, I was virtually given the following:
- Brandon Routh. Repeatedly, but the first time, from Venus.
- A beautiful rendition of "happy birthday" by Lizzie.
- A sparkling glass of champers from mawaridi.
- An H/Hr snoggage schnipple of fic from my darling Anne.
- Frizze and Bacarde Limon from Leda.
- The joy of watching shantari trip over a kubb set.
- Reese's peanut butter cups from Gracie
- well wishes and pink champers from indi_kayt
- A dance and a performance by Ares from ana_christina
- Misti Miscardi assaulted my senses with wet, towel-clad Brandon Routh giving the "big O" mouth. How dare she! ;-P

I also had a virtual party in the AmazonRPGs on Yahoogroups. I had the following presents from my friends there:
- Never-ending bottle of massage oil that tastes like whatever the tastee wants it to, from Mac, Jag and Ephiney
- Holiday at Kissing Town Resort from Rory and Mihoshi (Greg)
- Miniature doll house of my RP Amazon Hut, including little action figures that speak key catch phrases. For example, Casey says "Tweak, tweak!"
Thank you, one and all, for your generosity, love and kindness!
It means the world to me. You all made my birthday *really* special. :D
