"Once upon a time..."
Just another quick update, 'cause if I don't take a small break from assignment-writing I'll go stir crazy -.-' Fairly confident that I'll manage to finish it in time, though. The end product might even actually be good.

In other news, today it is 24 years since I finally could be bothered to leave the comfort of my mother's womb. Even with the assignment looming over me (and even though I had to wake up at 6:30 am so that we could do the whole wake-up-with-birthday-song-and-goodies-and-presents-thing before my brother and my dad had to run to catch the bus), today has been a good day. My brother, being ever the darling, got me the PSP-version of Final Fantasy I ^_^ And my parents gave me a BEAUTIFUL blue glass vase, a gift certificate for one hour of having my feet pampered at Flatåsen Fotklinikk, a bottle of bubbly pear cider, 20(!) 0,7l bottles of Bon Aqua Silver with lemon flavor and 24(!) kinder eggs (my mother has a very strange sense of humor sometimes). In addition came the standard NOK200 from grandparents and uncles Totto and Bernt, and the additions to my collection of silver wear from Gran and aunt Eli w/ boyfriend Carl. I have also gotten several sms with congratulations, but as most of these came while I was at a lecture (that was very good and that I enjoyed immensely, btw), I only answered the one that asked me a concrete question about the location of the birthday party. For that I appologize, at least to the ones among you that actually read my LJ.

Oh well, back to fairy tale and folklore elements in Jane Eyre and Silas Marner...
