repost from birdsite, birthday party niceness
This turned out really great! My friends not only decorated, but also got a cake and sung happy birthday. Given that I just dumped "can you please host a board games day for me as a birthday thing, I guess" in their laps about 2 weeks ago, it was really touching
The sweetest part was one of the friends I'd played Civ with earlier, who I'd talked about how excited I was that playing as the Maori was now an option, saying that he was going to decorate the cake with Happy Birthday in Maori (but was thwarted by finding he had no icing left)
