In Which I Turn A Year Older

Well today at 4:32 PM I will turn a year older. At 4:34 PM Twin will turn a year older.

Yep, we've reached 30.

Good times!

We had the last few days off from work and played a lot of racquetball, ate at delicious restaurants (probably too much) and played a lot of Halo: Reach.

We also got new tattoos!

We decided to get nerdy twin ones, cuz we're nerds like that.

Here's Twin's:




Here's mine:





And by our tattoos combined, we make a heart!







We got most of our birthday presents from the fam, though a few are still on their way. Check out all these awesome books I've gotten so far!





It was actually really hard to pick which one to read next. I can't wait to get through them all.

What about you, do you do anything fun on your birthday?

    Happy birthday!!

    The tattoos are so clever and sweet.

    If I get chocolate cake out of it, I consider my birthday a success. :)

    Happy Birthday!

    When your tattoos come together, do they generate some kind of gestalt being a la Captain Planet or an energy beam of some kind?

    [shakes fist] They'd better...

    I like the tattoos! They're so pretty. That's a neat idea to match your twin. My husband has a twin brother, but I don't think they'll ever get matching tatts, lol. I think that's more a girly thing!

    Happy Birthday, Sarah!!!

    Cool tatoos! I like the idea of combining them to make a heart. It's a kind of bond. Definitely works for twins who are close.

    Apparently when I said Happy Birthday it was there in my mind, but didn't make it out of my fingertips to the post, so here it is.

    Happy Birthday.

    Happy Birthday!
    Tattoos are beautiful and clever.
    My daughter and her kids always make it a fun day for me. Since it's within a few days of Mother's Day, we celebrate everything.
    May each year be better than the las for you and you sister.

    Thanks everyon! I chose XVI first to read, by using the very scientific method of choosing "which one was on top"

    Teebpore - if i ever get some sort of super power, you will be one of the first people to know

    Hannah - hah! What are the chances? Was it Across the Universe? Or Marbury Lens? Also, the tats weren't that expensive at all, you could totally save up for one!

    I'm a couple days late to the party (wait -- was there a party?), but happy belated birthday! Those are some stellar tattoos, and an excellent haul. Hope you had a great day!

    Although now I'm curious. It's scientifically proven that in every set of twins one is evil. Which of you is it? Or are you both half-evil?

    Very nice ink! Hope you had a great birthday. Across the Universe was a-freaking-mazing. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I couldn't put it down.
