Even though I vowed to myself that I wouldn’t buy any more clothes,* I am now the proud owner of a t-shirt that declares in bright cheerful letters, “CALIFORNIA: Surely Exist!” I know I will go about my day reassured that California does, in fact, surely exist.



*This is because in three months, I’m going to have to leave the country. And at that time, I’m going to be faced with three categories of stuff: stuff I can carry on the plane by hand, stuff I can pay money to ship back to the US, and stuff that I can sell, give, or throw away.



I CAN’T HAVE ANY MORE STUFF. Not so much an issue of storage, as of carriage, so to speak. So, therefore, I am proposing that my birthday – which is usually May 18th – be moved this year to August 18th. At that point I’ll be back in the States, (hopefully) settled into a new home, and in a great mood for people to give me presents.

Will do! Admit it, you're shipping home a box of manga and doujinshi and stuff like that.

Fine with me! if you space in your storage when you get home you can finally gimmie all that junk back since I have space in my house for it. XD

Duly noted.

Proposal duly noted. :D

Hmmm, and with that t-shirt if you get lost on some distant island and don't speak the island, they'll know where to send you! XD

How about a big box for you b-day? ;p

We had already decided that your birthday present this month is going to be our presence. (Although we probably will spring for dinner!) Postponing the gift portion of the birthday until August seems like a very good idea!

(Besides, our family has a long tradition of celebrating birthdays when convenient rather than on "the day".)
