Yesterday was my 17^th birthday, so I thought I should share it with you. Thank you to everyone who said "Happy Birthday", wished me well and/or gave me pressies.

My presents pretty much proved how much of a Whovian my family knows I am. My brother gave me Doctor Who Series 2 box set *squeal* and a card with a TARDIS on the front that and a Dalek inside which shouts "It is your birthday. You must celebrate or you will be exterminated. Exterminate, exterminate, exterminate." *more squeals*

He also gave me some window stickers (I'm assuming for if I get a car). One says "I'm not weird, I'm special" and the other says "Home is where the black is". My parents are giving me a knew phone, when I get around to choosing a new handset.

But I haven't even got the the best bit yet!

( This is my birthday cake! )

Mum tells me she made it free hand, by eye and without any patterns. How awesome is that!

Also, Cazzy gave me a fantastic top which I doubt I'll ever take off, my Auntie gave me smellies (yay!), srah_scottydog made me this *drools* and mrs_cj_harkness gave me a Vanilla Cupcake *om nom nom*!

The only downside has been that my Dad's away on business (but he's back tonight) and two of my best mates (Bern and Ciaran) are on their Duke of Edinburgh expedition.

Love you all!

I wrote this for lovedreamstears for her birthday and she said it's OK if I share it.


Sixteen, not a kid but not a growed up.
Your presents are a wish: please, keep that spirit.
A quill pen for a feather-light heart and
Good writings at college and forever.
It's purple, regal and royal, your grace
Princess Carolyn. Plus I really hate pink.
Music. Remember, dance to your own tune,
Live life loud and proud, and never ever
Turn down the volume or you. Also it's
Perfect for pissing off parents. Lastly,
Chocolates but not ordinary. You see,
These are fruity and filled with summer fun
Then cloaked in sophistication, each an
Individual. You're all these. And more.
