I just realized dearest husband sounds bad, almost as if I have multiple husbands and you are the dearest of them all. If I did have multiple husbands, you certainly wouldn’t be the dearest but you would be the weirdest. That counts for something, right? Oh I’m just kidding, jeez. You really are the dearest of them all. Seriously.
So my dearest husband, you may or may not be aware that my birthday is this Friday. I thought I was going to be 33 but after doing the math, I realized I will only be 32. That’s the best gift ever right there! When you get to be this old, every freakin’ year counts. The average gamer is 35 and I am still younger than that so it is all good in my book. I would make a comment about you being older than the average gamer but I can’t remember how old you are so we’ll just keep moving. Yes, apparently I suck with birthdays. And important dates. And numbers in general.
So, back to my birthday. I have a few things on my list this year so I thought I would up my chances of getting what I want by making a nice, organized list for you. I know you are an expert at purchasing things online, Mr. I Bought a Shit Load of Music From iTunes Last Month so here you go, a wonderfully easy clickable birthday list just for you. See how much I love you?
Reasons why you should buy this:
1. LEGO Indiana Jones is only $49.99. That’s $10 less than the usual price of a new video game! So you are actually saving money by buying this game. You may think that doesn’t make sense but it really does if you think about it hard enough.
2. I play the heck out of the LEGO games, all the way to 100% completion. That means this game will keep me busy for at least a few weeks which translates into less bitching and nagging that you will have to put with during that time period. I’m pretty sure you don’t any more reason than that.
Reasons why you shouldn’t buy this: None.
Reasons why you should buy this:
1. Do you really need a reason to buy a custom Zombie My Little Pony? If for some reason you do, here are a few. You can totally see the disgusting bloody brain. And one of the eyeballs is hanging from its head (you can probably swing it around, which is all kinds of awesome). And there are even exposed ribs. How cool is that?!
2. Remember when we were watching that zombie movie a few years back and you made some sort
of comment during that scene where the husband was running away while the wife was getting attacked? Remember how I skillfully twisted it around into meaning that you wouldn’t save me if we suddenly faced an onslaught of the living dead? And now of course I manage to work that into our daily conversation on a regular basis. I will never bring that up again if you get this for me. I’m not kidding. Really, I’m not.
Reasons why you shouldn’t buy this: None.
Reasons why you should buy this:
1. It’s pink.
2. It has bling.
Reasons why you shouldn’t buy this: It costs $8,700. Makes that video game and My Little Pony look awfully good, eh? Now go my wonderful husband, ride off into the sunset of the internet and come back with some birthday goodies. I’ll see you Friday. Kiss kiss.
UPDATE: Enjoy My Dearest Husband’s response that he left in a comment as I go bang my head against the wall. Repeatedly.
Hey Babe! Just dropping by to say hi and see if I could get any ideas for your B-day. Since I couldn’t, I guess your stuck with some cool music I downloaded for that 32 year old birthday mix I am working on. I also put on reserve the new Madden game, your gonna love it! It looks awesome. I can’t wait to see your face when I give you that awesome collage of the Snoop Concert that is gonna look great in our room! Anyway keep up the great job on your Blog, it is by far the best one I read each day. Love you and Happy Birthday.

I’m guessing that ring isn’t pure zirconia. Is short Round in that game, and they don’t talk in those games right? What’s the point if you can’t hear such classic sayings as, “WE ARE GOING TO DIE!”, or “NO TIME FOR LOVE DR. JONES”. Go for the pony!

Yes Short Round is in the game, in fact every character from the original 3 movies are in that game. Surprisingly without speech its still amazingly awesome.
Angel, if your dearest husband should procure Lego IJ for you, I have a code to unlock Molah Rah (I rip out your heart guy). While I am sure you could find it on the internet somewhere it wouldnt be as cool as a half-assed attempt at a birthday present right? =D

LOL I thought I was the only one who forgot how old I am too. I thought I was going to be 31 this August but when I saw my driver’s license and saw my birth year.. I was bummed out to find out I’ll b 32 instead (curse you DMV!) Anyway… hope you have a lovely birthday angel and hopefully get all the stuff you wished for… especially the ring… man that’s nice!

2 of my really good friends had their Birthday’s this week… oh ya and my future Sister-in-law so that makes 3 Birthdays.
Happy Early Birthday and yours makes 4.

Good one, dear. Alas, I’m afraid of the next post “To my dear readers…”

I thought this was quite hilarious. Maybe I need to do this when my birthday comes around… there’ll be no excuse to “sucky” presents or nothing at all. I especially love the bling touch!

happy early birthday, birthday angel :)

Thanks for the birthday wishes!
If I get that game mendicantbias00, I would love the code. I don’t generally look up codes so that would be a fun treat.
If there is one thing I have learned in my 12 years of marriage sakiwaki, it’s that hints don’t work and life is simply easier if you are direct and up front with everything. :)

Happy early Birthday!

Angel, you make it sound like we men are oblivious to subtleties. Surely you jest
Posted by Soulofaqua on June 25, 2008 at 1:56 am
Could you not just grab him by the balls and say he will lose them if he won’t give you that zombie My Little Pony? Happy early birthday!
Posted by bs angel on June 25, 2008 at 3:06 am
LOL, … I don’t think he would like that Soulofaqua.
And SwampFox, my thoughts aren’t focused on men as they are more general than that. Subtleties are wasted on me (as you often have to hit me over the head with something before I get it) so I tend to go the more direct route with pretty much everything in my life. I simply find things easier that way. :)

As do I…Usually, sometimes it’s fun to mess with other peoples’ heads.
Hee-hee
