So, knowing that I'm getting mildly dispondent that my birthday is coming up, my good friend  Elrabin gave me an early birthday present that sort of caught me off guard. Then again, given the circumstances, I'm not sure if I should be happy that I got a cake this size, or concerned that I might be simply a decoration on my own birthday cake (I mean seriously, look at the faces of Elrabin,  bigdcstile and  dragonfireny, I'm unsure if those are "Happy birthday!" faces or "Birthday fox looks tasty" faces! ;) ).

In all seriousness, though, much thanks to  cougr for whipping this picture up in his usual outstanding style. Also, thank you to Elrabin for surprising me with this! Totally caught me off guard!

Maybe this 30th b-day stuff won't be so bad after all...
