Have ordered it from Books-A-Million! :D *mucho excited* ...Along with several volumes of manga, which somehow brings down the class of the whole scenario, but oh, well. (3

Fretting now. 1 hr. 21 min. countdown to 18'th year of age. Fretfretfret. Fretting extravaganza. Woohoo...not. *sits quietly in dread*

Interfictions + manga = perfect! They'll even each other out.

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I wish I'd seen this sooner. Darned excessive e-mail preventing me from getting to the important things . . . Anyhow, congratulations! Now that you've been there for 1 day, 18's not so bad...is it?

It's...okay. (3 I was practically having a nervous spasm after my dad's ritual speech on my spontaneous responsibility and making wise choices, but I went and cried to some very empathetic people on instant messaging, and they made me feel better. (Why are all my exes so nice to me? o.o; ) I practically wrote a novel about it all here, if you have a year. XD! http://yaoi-in-exile.livejournal.com/

Alfonzo the Parrot, sitting on my desk, squawks his approval. X3!

And of course, pressies made it all better. (3 Thanks to the utter fabulosity of my mother, I'll be landing in Pittsburgh henna-d from head to toe. *happy!flutter* And with my spiffy new Books-A-Million gift card, I'll actually be able to pay for Interfictions when it comes in, which I admit was somewhat worrying me. XDDD!

And that reminds me! :3 Do you have a story in Interfictions, Ellen? Or were you working behind the scenes? Or not at all? I forget. ^^;
