Heck no!!! Today is the 11th. I have three more days before I officially turn plus one. Yay!! So let the gifts begin to arrive!! I&#8217;m only reminding you because I care about you oh. I don&#8217;t want you to have to do rush delivery.  But in the event that your gift cannot get to me before the 14th, please do not despair.  I receive late gifts @ no extra nagging to you.  Yes, I know I&#8217;m sweet.  You don&#8217;t have 2 say it.<\/p>\n<p>The 14th of January is the most important day of the year. The earth will stand still. The moon and the sun will come out together and struggle for sky space, but none will win. The stars instead will shine from dusk till dawn, and they will hang down from the sky like chandeliers.  As if I were standing under a mistletoe, I will receive a kiss every time I stand under a star.  I guess I should expect a gazillion kisses that day.  Baba God will grant me all my heart desires. It will be the beginning of a new life for me &#8211; my XXth year on earth. If you&#8217;re wondering who I will be kissing under the stars, my answer is <strong>God will provide!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I do not have much to say today.  I would only like to repost (for the benefit of those who have not read it and those who have forgotten or claim to have forgotten) my birthday wish list.  And my address, of course.  If you are torn between two gifts or more and cannot decide which one to get me, please get them all.  That&#8217;s the only logical thing to do.
