To Knock The Wind Out Of An Angel..

Wow, okay, yesterday was completely crazy! So mom calls me and asks if I could please come to the café a little earlier then we had talked about. Sure thing, I got there and there stands my lovely brother! We had just been texting, and he didn't say anything about stopping by for my birthday, and suddenly he's just there! Great surprise, I was thinking!

So we talk, and I get flowers from mom and Tom, waiting for what I figured was my sister's arrival. And yeah, it was a little weird when my dear brother insisted on standing up, out by the jukebox, talking about what horrible music they still have, but hey, who am I to question why he wants to stand up for awhile. I just pulled out a barchair, sip my cider, and talk to him, it's so rare it happens. Which we really will change, we agreed on that.

Out of the blue, the door opens. And in comes a caravan consisting of my sister and her boyfriend, Helene, Lund, Lal, Sims and Geo, singing and waving flags in my face! My first reaction was total freezing shock. Then I screamed and hid behind a pillar XD Around me forms a circle of singing people, while I stand there, flabbergasted and completely embaressed about the huge amount of attention suddenly poored over me!

I had fucking no clue XD I mean, I knew Helene would be there later on, and I had come to the conclusion that mom wanted me there early, because of my sister, but the whole inner circle suddenly dropping on my head like that... I wouldn't have seen that coming if my IQ was doubled O.o

So my mom finally whips out this things she had been avoiding showing me for about half an hour, which was of course the video cam. So now I also have the wonderful event of watching my own reaction, coming up XD

Oh my god, and there were presents! A gift certificate from the guys, to my favourite book store! That is SO fucking awesome! Helene and Lund got me season 3 and 4 of Criminal Minds! (I guess they finally got sick of hearing me shushing them when they mention anything that happens beyond season 2! XD) And my wonderful older sister! We have been talking about travelling, going on a vacation, taking a trip, just anything, together, for years. And I've never been on an airplane. So of course, a weekend trip to Liverpool this spring is what she gets me!!!

OH MY GOD! :D I'm going to Liverpool! :D With my sister! YAY!! Like-you-wouldn't-believe-it-kind-of-yay! And a travel-savings-can that can only be opened with a can opener XD She and Lal then made a round in the bar, telling people about my present, asking if anyone would like to make a donation :D They must love me, cause according to my sister and Lal, quite a few people would very much like to, and did :D My amazing brother made his gift a donation of quite impressive size, too :D

And we had a wonderful evening, people got me drunk! (Still suffering a little bit of a hangover!) We played pool (or what you call that other game) and switched shirts, and danced (Yes, I danced! With total lack of balance! And there was laughing, and it was a really wonderful birthday :) My brother even stayed over, before he had to go to work this morning, and I don't think this whole thing could have been much better then it was :)

Thank you for a wonderful day, and what I know will be a wonderful memory for life!
