It's My Birthday and I'll Have a Giveaway If I Want To

HELLO, HELLO, you lovely people. If I were to sum up today in a gif, it would be this:

But for YOU, this day means something else entirely. IT MEANS:

I'm really obsessed with Soul Eater right now so you're just going to have to deal with me trying to make the gifs work okay.

So, in case you didn't get it, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY.

I'm the big two-three, which is actually the most accurate age ever. Two plus three equals five, and I constantly say I'm five, so W I N. (Although honestly, for a five year old, I'm rather inappropriate and should permanently have soap in my mouth.)

And because I'm twenty three, I'm going to tell you twenty-three fun facts about myself. (And then we'll get to the fun stuff, I promise.)

1. I am clearly obsessed with Soul Eater.

2. I finished my binge-watch the other day and had NO IDEA the final episode was the final episode until it said so at the very end, and then I yelled and nearly burst into tears.

3. I am also obsessed with shipping Maka and Soul. Like, a lot.

4. Maybe I have fanart of Zootopia's Nick and Judy saved on my phone, maybe I don't.

5. I do.

6. I drink pickle juice out of the jar.

7. I have not read all the Harry Potter books.

8. On Friday I'm going to Emerald City Comicon and hoping to pull off cosplaying as Manon Blackbeak.

9. But I'm the Fire-breathing Bitch-queen.

10. It depends on the situation, but as this blog post previously showed, I like to write out numbers.

11. I rarely drink coffee and I quit pop back in high school, so I mainly drink water and juice. Sunny D is my favorite. And it's real orange juice, damn it.

12. I'm on my way to having a real anime problem, thanks to Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki, and the aforementioned Soul Eater.

13. I'm (almost) a volunteer at one of my local zoos.

14. We have a giraffe named Dave.

15. I'm really hungry right now but it's after midnight and we've all seen Gremlins.

16. Peter Pan retellings are my kryptonite, yet Beauty and the Beast is my favorite movie.

17. I'm still trying to achieve silver fucking hair, but it's a pain in my ass.

18. I'm a French potty-mouthed sailor.

19. Here's my favorite joke I loved to tell in elementary school (until I used it on everyone): I bet I can make you say "black." You're walking through the forest at night, and you see the American flag. What colors is it? (Pause for your answer before continuing.) Told you I could make you say "blue!" (Pause for your answer before continuing.) I told you so. It never gets old.

20. My house is currently occupied by three humans, three dogs, two cats, two guinea pigs, one hedgehog, and one betta fish.

21. My Clothes Are Covered in Pet Hair: One of the Many Titles of My Autobiography.

22. I want tattoos--I love them!--but I'm super terrified of the permanence and that they won't be perfect.

23. I really am hungry.

And now, we sing "Happy Birthday!" (And yes, it's just so I can use this gif.)

Despite the fact that it's my birthday and that, traditionally, the birthday person gets all the gifts, I'm going to give something to you. Because I appreciate you and thank you for following my blog and being my friend...and because we all love a good giveaway, don't we?

You can win...a tote bag from Society6! AND a book to go in that tote bag! One lucky soul from anywhere around the world will receive any 13" x 13" tote bag of their choice from Society6 and a book of $20 or less from Book Depository or Amazon, location depending. (Disclaimer: Tote bag will be purchased when there's a sale and Society6 offers free worldwide shipping, because if there's one thing we all love more than a giveaway it's a sale.) Just please be sure to follow the rules mentioned below. Otherwise your entries will unfortunately be disqualified and I'll have to be a meanie face, which I don't want to do.

THE RULES

-Open internationally, so long as Book Depository and Society6's free worldwide shipping is available in your location (I'm assuming it is).

-No cheating or bending the rules whatsoever.

-No private accounts, giveaway accounts, shady entries, or the like. I check. And if the majority of your account is giveaway after giveaway your entry will not be accepted. Also, one-word, meaningless comments are not preferred.
