you know what i realized? that yesterday's birthday was the best birthday i've had in years.

i bustled about all afternoon, humming to myself and feeling competent like my mom while fixing food, even though i didn't do such a great job. wax was asleep in the bedroom and it was all cosy. then my ~~bitches~~ slasha buddies came over,

anglepoiselamp,

shiroi_chi and

mace_m. we stuffed ourselves on lukewarm leftovers and maija's delicious cookies and an entire packet of vispgrädde*, watched king arthur (the extended version) without the sad ending but with much slash commentary and references to the

m15m version. then we watched e's copy of the professional/león, and e and k and i frightened maija with our 'gary gary gary!'-type comments, when she is a jean reno fangirl. i drank a mug of warm wassail and read the pros slash until pleasantly sleepy, then collapsed into bed and buried my nose in

wax_jism's shoulder.

*whipped cream--applied over half a pie.
