December 16th, 20:00 pm, came a moment when I had been breathing air for three decades.

Not a holiday but a work day. Quite colorful one too. I had received quite few congratulation messages that is unusual, but not supricing cause I usually am depressed during these times and have tendency to simply change my brithday date couple days before, and back to nornal once day has passed. I didnt do that on this year. Partly cause I forgot, partly cause I though that its silly and doesn't matter. I kind of expected that hardly no one would remember. But really many did. It's funny what skype notification of ones birthday can make peoples to notice / remember.

So it was a normal workday with exeption that I ate part of cake as morning breakfast on 5am... yeah I wake up to work very early.

I had couple of accidents on that day. Nothing too serious. Though because I fell and hurt my knee it still hurts, but it's already better.

As I got to home, my mother wasn't there... but came moment later to bring me pizza as birthday gift.

To top that I did get some calls as well to my phone.

But my biggest surprice was this...  shuryashish had made me drawing. It totally melted my heart. :) It came out of bush... I had not expected this. I had not been in contact to her for about month? It's pretty hard to chat with her as I dont really speack russian and she really don't speak english. It is more like... sharing links to each other of a common subjects that we both are interested of. And sometimes a casual small talk. But even a little can sometimes be significant enough to cheer each others up. She is rather awesome artist. And one of those rare that I like who draw Vore.

I still think this is surpricing... someone who I feel that I barely knew remembered me on my 30th birthday with drawing. Even more so as it was only gift I received if not counting pizza and chocolate that I got from my mother. (Though my parents had helped me to buy myself proper warm winter attention colored, protective workclothes few weeks earlyer. those can be pretty darn expensice.)

So yeah. Thank you all for your birthday congratulations :)

And thank you very very much  shuryashish for this awesome drawing!
