Remember when you were a kid and your friend would have a birthday and you had spent your allowance on some bubblegum? What did your parents say? "Make them something from the heart."
This birthday, I have gotten a home-made pie (the first pie ever made by it's creator), a drawing made just for me, a poem, a beautiful hand sculpted dragon and a lot of kind and beautiful words.
Mom was right, the things that come from the heart matter the most. And it beats the hell out of anything on my Amazon wish list :)

Speaking metaphorically, of course. It's a habit that's hard to give up. One puff of breath is never enough. You'll find you want to take another.
Mister Vimes
Only Human
- Samuel Vimes
- Norcross, GA, United States
- By his own account he was a skinny, balding, unshaven collection of bad habits marinated in alcohol, although these days he is better shaved and doesn't drink. Partly as a result of this latter fact, he is morose, cynical and ridiculously - and to his own embarassment - soft-hearted in certain circumstances. He is almost certainly one of Nature's policemen; it has been said of him that his soul burns to arrest the Creator of the universe for getting it wrong. He loathes kings, and hates undead and assassins. He is also unashamedly speciesist - he deeply dislikes trolls and dwarfs, but in an almost proprietyroial way, so that he has risked his life and badge to defend them merely so that he can continue to dislike them. He hates the city in the same way; it's his to hate.
