well let me put it this way even at 28....my mother still gets in the way of my plans. all things considered it wasn't bad, I dropped my 360 off to be sent to texas. Had a great dinner my cake ruled and was the densest thing ever and we capped it all off by starting a new tradition of watching Kurosawa's Ran on my birthday. Would've been nice though if my mom hadn't gotten in the way of me getting my laptop. (Long story short my mom is the only person in my family who still treats me like a helpless child who needs to be protected from himself, my dad is going to try to talk some sense into her.)
