slycatJust got back from a very nice meal at a local restaurant. Had a nice 10oz sirloin with chips followed by a gorgeous chocolate brownie marbled with vanilla cheesecake. I hope to go back to that place again sometime, very good they were, very filling!
As far as presents go, from my folks, I got £200 off the loan I'm paying off Dad. It's not something physical I could hold but it helped pay for my TFT monitor and it'll help me in the long run. Got £20 from other relatives so far but have only got 3 cards. Suspect the postal strike is the reason for not more arriving. Then again, I usually get lots of extra junk mail on my birthday from places I'd never visit so it's not all bad. My bro got me (I think) F-Zero GX for the GameCube which I'm really excited about, however due to the aforementioned postal strike, it's not arrived yet. He did give me the Simba beanie he got free with his copy of The Lion King DVD in the meantime :)
It's odd being 23, it seems like it's come far too quick. The past few years have just zoomed past. I guess the most likely reason is that I've not had enough variety in my life, no real significant events other than me moving out for a period. However, this year, I will get a new job and then things will start taking a turn for the better.
Should be off to the pub with friends later this evening and I plan to get bladdered :D Laters!
