yes!

i am so excited. like really excited. like this time i mean it. i just found out what my "surprise" birthday present from gabriele is! i can't wait. okay, so i guess it's not a surprise anymore. not to me, at least. but it's one of those things that you can't completely leave as a surprise. either way, i'll probably write about it when it's all figured out, but for now, you might hate me, but it's a surprise to you.
