So today is my birthday and yeah, I do get one every year. I'll admit it doesn't feel so birthday-y without the Bussio Birthday Gaunlet. Apparently, siblings are a vital component of birthday mirth. Nevertheless, we boldly pressed on with festivities and somehow managed to enjoy ourselves.
My big gift this year was the new laptop to replace the greatly ailing Zombie Shakespeare. It's fetchin' sweet, I won't deny it, but I'm having a hard time coming up with a name for it. So far, it's a toss-up between Big Bertha and Sweet Besty Ross. Big Bertha suggests its heft, but Sweet Betsy Ross better captures its awesomeness. Of course, this may all change after it gets here and I actually see it. It was briefly detained in Customs awaiting "power of attorney." I don't know how a laptop could have a power of attorney (or what Customs wanted with mine, presumably), but the situtation seems to have resolved itself without my intervention as it has cleared Customs. On the other hand, its delivery date is scheduled for Jan. 1, 1900 at 12:00 am, so there may still be some problems.
Paul also gave me the first season of Star Trek: Voyager, burned from iTunes onto DVDs, the new Flogging Molly CD (buy it!), a fancy aluminum cooling pad for the new laptop, some Sims stuff, and a new computer game.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JENNIFER! We love you and miss you. We are so proud of you and your many accomplishments. Looking forward to taking you shopping. A special thanks to Paul for taking such good care of you on your birthday. As to your new laptop, I vote for Sweet Betsy Ross, Big Bertha sounds like a shotgun.
Whoho...Happy Birthday. Sounds great that you finally got that new computer. Things are really going good for you this year-got into a great school, check, got new computer, check, get to go to Russia-well maybe. I enjoy reading your posts.
Sounds like Sweet Betsy Ross is not only a sweet laptop, but can travel backward in time!
Pretty impressive.
Happy birthday, too.
Oh, and tell Paul hi!
Wow. Maybe they thought the laptop needed someone to speak for it... it, too needs to be represented... maybe they wanted to make sure it wasn't being imported against it's will. :)
I do hope you get it soon! :)
BIRTHDAY!!
For your birthday, I made a significant contribution in your honor to the fine people at BYU parking and traffic.
And "fine" is an unintended pun.
