I got two incredible birthday presents today. One of them, I gave myself. XD
The one I did not give myself came from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
adam_pb. With his mad photoshop skillz, he made a tarot deck for me. Well, just the major arcana, and it's on a poster, not actual cards. But still. So shiny.
So then I'm checking my e-mail, and I find a "Happy Birthday" message from astrology.com. Oh, that's nice, I think, assuming it's just some generic message inviting me to purchase stuff from their website. But I click it anyway. And one of the offers, as it turns out, is a free star from the Universal Star Council. As in, I get to name a star. For free. And I get to pick the constellation it's in. Joy!!*
Of course, for the official certificate and all that nifty stuff they still charged 20 dollars ("Ah, that's how they getcha," I said). But, eh. It was worth 20 bucks for something that would have normally cost upwards of 60. And it's my birthday anywhoo.
As for what I named the star? That's for me to know. Andherod_the_nut to find out. Nyah.
(actually, I'll tell y'all later. But I want him to be the first to know ^__^)
I know, I know. I promise I'll shut up about my birthday. But only after it's over. :P
*In case anyone had a mind to inform me, I know the name I gave won't be used by real astronomers (them and their silly number system). Still, it's an actual star, and the website doesn't give two people the same star. So it still counts, says I.
( Queez Attack! )
