she says i need not to need

So it's my birthday today. And to celebrate, I am working 14 straight hours with one break for lunch and another "break" to walk from Big Gay NPO to the theater and then set up understudy rehearsal. And I estimate a 99.5% likelihood that no coworkers from either job will provide me with cake. :( I think after work on Monday I'll go see X-Men again and then bake MYSELF a damn cake, because birthdays without cake are kind of tragic. So it will be my own private three-days-late birthday celebration.

I had also totally intended to post a fic today, because comments on fics(/vids) are the best birthday (or anytime!) presents EVER. And then, y'know, the X-Men fandom unexpectedly reared back up again and ate my soul, so I failed to actually finish the Doctor Who fic I've been working on. Operation Birthday: FAIL on all counts, really. But I'm currently working on another X-Men kinkmeme fill, which hopefully I will finish this weekend. So that will be another belated birthday present to myself, I guess.

Really, given how crap I am at remembering other people's birthdays, it's only fair that I should fail at my own as well. Meh.

OMG CAKE

Oh my gosh, guys, my Big Gay NPO coworkers brought me cake! With my NAME on it! I was right that my boss fails at birthdays, but the other people on my team remembered. And also with the embarrassing singing at the front desk in our lobby, but fortunately no random guests were coming through at the time.

Birthday: REDEEMED! My face looks like this: :D
