Birthday gift

What ho!
I´d like to share my enthusiasm with you...

So. I had birthday last week and my friend decided, that because I´m such a big fan of Stephen Fry I should become a birthday present with him. So she gave me a mug. Here it is:
   :

And on the other side is written:
 
Which means something like "To health and to homosexuals"! My parents were slightly shocked, when they first saw it, but they said nothing.  
But (and it´s a big but) that was a week ago and I thought, that I will have to wait until Christmas for another presents. And yesterday I received an envelope. The address was obviously written by my friend´s hand (the same friend that gave me the mug), so I was quite curious why she´s sending me a letter, because I see her every day at school. And then I noticed that the envelope had a UK stamp and that it was sent on the 7 th of April from the UK. So I opened it very, very quickly and inside the envelope was this:
 
I think I said something like "Holy crap!" and I immediately called my friend because I needed serious explanation. "Yeah, you know" she started, "it was supposed to be for your birthday, but he sent it late..." and I was like "He sent it LATE? Whad did you DO?" And she answered quite simply: "Well, I wrote him, obviously. I asked if he could sign a photo for my friend and put it in that envelope... Are you OK?"
And I was not, obviously, because I was making very strange noises of pure joy. And I made a special place for Stephen on my bookshelf.

It looks like some kind of altar now...
Anyway, that was all I wanted to say -  that my best birthday present was Stephen and my friend should be declared saint.

It does look like a Fry-shrine at that. Your friend is amazing. And a belated happy birthday (which, I suppose, was very happy with such presents) to you!

What a sweetheart your friend must be! And your altar is shaping up very nicely. All you need now is maybe a napkin he once used and some nail trimmings.

Oh, my God.

This had better be the happiest of all happy birthdays and you should sleep with that thing under your pillow...Lol, I'll find out where you live and steal it. Never mind that it doesn't have my name on it. Lucky duck :)

Happy birthday!!!
