I am SOOO Birthday!

My birthday present(s)!













A sunset from the sunset-dude, a road trip from the road trip girl!






she looks and smells gorgeous after four showerless days living out of a hatchback...




i look and smell differently after four showerless days living out of a hatchback! but(t), I get to wear these awesome birthday-handed-me-down my-very-first-pair-of-Carhartt's beefy-man-pants. Yeah Dan Sahli!





The New River Gorge, West Virginia--Western Hemisphere's Largest Arch Bridge. And more sunshine than we have in Western New York, where it has decided to snow. All weekend.






Happy Birthday to Me!











OH--and we went and saw the Decemberists in concert. The amazing lady accordion-player, as well as several other musicians, were consumed by a sea monster during the finale. Really. They rock out...with sea shanties.

So. You have no excuse. You have facebook, and it reminds you that my birthday is in less than eleven hours, and I will finally be able to sing Switchfoot's "Twenty-Four" legitimately. With gusto. On the quad.

You know I'll do it.

So. Here's my Birthday wish list:

1. World Peace
2. Gladitorial Games in my honor
3. Personal, lie-detector mediated interview days with all major Presidential candidates.
4. A dog sled, team, and personal Norwegian dog handler. And a summer conversion kit.
5. A sign from God.
6. A personal early morning serenade from Sting. Followed with a breakfast by Shaffin Hajji and Emeril featuring steak.
7. A woman. (Oh. Wait. That's what Ethan wants. Never mind. I'm fine!)
8. Homemade cinnamon rolls.
9. A statue of me to be erected in the quad.

Ahhh. Rock climbing suits me. So does eating. It's time to leave. You should buy me a song on iTunes for my birthday...
