Birthday Round-up

[allana]

First things first, the cake can be found here. It turns out that Dave liked it more than I did - the sponge was a bit too spongey for my tastes, but then I'm always supercritical of anything I cook. I'm still mildly shocked that I haven't written about food in over 18 days.

And now - presents!

From the in-laws, a rather nice cross-stitch kit. Alas, it's one I already have, but that just shows their good taste. I'll exchange it (with their blessing) when I'm next in Bristol.
From SIL - a manicure and pedicure kit. I'm going to have the best turned out hands and feet in Britain at this rate; I got a bunch of stuff like this at Christmas :D
From BIL - an Amazon voucher. Maybe now I can justify getting a book on Victorian debauchery and excesses

From random almost-family people - a bottle of nice white wine, a huge decorative candle and another pedicure kit. This one is particularly cool though, as it has a gel pack for resting each foot on when you've done too much walking/standing. Why has noone come up with this idea before?

From my parents - a cheque.

And from Dave.... Well, I wasn't going to mention this, but since I'm all grown-up etc, I figured I would. I got a rather pretty box full of sex toys. So, I probably won't be around in the evenings for a while!!
Live Shit: Binge and Purge (Metallica, who else?). I'm really looking forward to watching and listening to this. I'm currently battling the urge to stencil 'Scary Guy' all over the house ;)
And SKOM!! Dave came home with it after work - he ordered me the US edition as that came out on the 25th and the UK one comes out on the 31st of January. We watched it last night and I have to agree with Heather - there is definitely subliminal messaging. I want to pick up Lars, take him home and look after him. You've got to admire them for laying themselves open like this. Oh, and Dr Phil is The Sweater King. His collection, although undoubtably of historical importance, should be burned at the nearest stake. Other candidates for burning include Lars' floppy brimmed hat and James' Amish-style dungarees.

Twas a great day!

You should definitely watch the film with the Band commentary switched on! Among other things there are lots of fun comments about the sweaters and even one or two about the dungarees!

Really? Cool! I'll have to rewatch tomorrow - I'm all Tallica-ed out for today I think. I didn't even know that was possible :P

Have fun with Dave's present...;)

[dreammonkey.livejournal.com]

Hehe cool! :D
Glad you got the nun card ok ;)
shame it didn't arrive in time though! bloody royal mail :P

[silentinflames.livejournal.com]

Yay for Dave's present. Have fun with it :D

You have a box of toys and you're still in chat with Andy and me?

[scotchy024.livejournal.com]

OH my GOD!! Look at the BALLS on that cake!!! Mmmmmm. Scotchy likes balls. ;-) I'm glad you had a nice b-day, Sweetie. *smooches* Um, exactly WHAT'S in your little box of toys? Does it need batteries? He he he

[screwthedaisies.livejournal.com]

Hey, yeah--I didn't even think to ask that! More importantly: will any be showing up in fics? *grins hopefully*

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

See reply to Scotchy :D And no, I doubt I'll put any of it in fics. I can't see any of them with a thin bit of ribbon tied round their wrists. Shackles yes, ribbon no.

[scotchy024.livejournal.com]

I could see Kirk with a little pink ribbon tied around his wrists...and James making him wear his daughter's tootoo. He he he he he

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

*stares*

The worrying thing is that the tutu might just fit Kirk! But let's not go there.... I guess I could see him with nipple clamps though. Hmm. *shakes a fist wildly* Damn you, Scotchy!

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

Dammit. I hoped I could get away without elaborating (or anyone asking!). Nothing requiring batteries, I assure you. Got plenty of that ilk already.

Mostly bondage stuff (so, scarves, padded handcuffs, and a cute ribbon thing for "light" bondage), paddle, nipple clamps. All that good stuff.

And now I'm blushing. Wow, I'm still embarassable!

Nipple CLAMPS?

[scotchy024.livejournal.com]

*winces* OW!

Re: Nipple CLAMPS?

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

You asked!!! And they're not exactly 'OW'; they're nice. Indescribable....

[kelpierocks.livejournal.com]

Sounds like some great gifts (especially the one from Dave that will keep on giving ;)). Glad you had a good day! :)

I'm holding you responsible for getting drool all over my keyboard. This cake looks so YUMMY!

Live Shit--you will have so much fun with it. Seattle gig is awesome!

(And I hope you will have a lot of fun with your new toys *grins*)

A cross-stitch kit and a box of sex toys--that's a wide range of birthday presents :D.

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

I'm still blushing from replying to Scotchy :P Yes, that is a pretty diverse range of presents, isn't it? I guess I'm still presenting a sweet and innocent side to the inlaws!

Sorry about the keyboard - I keep trying to persude Heather to stock keyboard slips/protectors at the Rockfic store!!

I'm really looking forward to Live Shit - I spent most of the afternoon watching the SKOM extras. There's so many of them! (And no option to play all. Argh!)
