Well, despite STRONG hints about what I would like for my birthday, Julian Assange did not pop out of a cake, and WikiLeaks did not retweet me. And I even bought their tee shirt! What does a blogger have to do to get an rt up in here? Jeez.
I did get four free birthday drinks made by Canada’s best bartender, and excellent company. Apparently I have a present en route whenever Canada Post wants to get it to me. And the friend who stood me up tonight can probably be coaxed into taking me to the new oyster restaurant in Chinatown.
159 Birthday wishes on Facebook. It took me the better part of an hour to just thank people!
And for the first time in history, I ran into my cousin at the mall. She lives in Marpole, and we simply never see one another unless we set up an appointment, so this was definitely kismet.
What did YOU get me?

My Birthday Cake
Oh yes, the bartender also bought me my birthday cake, which was technically flourless, so therefore on my diet. Awesome!
Happy Birthday to you Rain! May you many more.
*have many more
Thanks, Hamza! Much appreciated!
Happy, happy, happy birthday!!!!! I’s send you a cake, but it might be stale by the time it got there!
Happy birthday Rain! I’ve got you a hug.
I keep trying to send Assange your way, but the post office will only deliver him to Sweden no matter what I say.
BNerd, that makes sense. Could you mark it as a diplomatic package from Ecuador perhaps?
Thanks all! It was a very good birthday!
Flourless cake? Awwww… I so wanted it to be an iced, coiled, tentacle.
Glad it was a good day, rain. May there be many more – and I really would like a cake like the top one! :)
Well, nobody bought me calamari. Maybe next time.
Hopefully next year I’ll have the cake at the top. And Julian will jump out of it.
Happy birthday! A birthday is just the first day of another 365-day journey around the sun. Enjoy the trip.
The chipirones were getting cold so we had to eat them… sent a belated greeting today but it won’t move (supposed to be animated).
