My third birthday. Where the hell did someone find a Green Lantern shirt in 1981? And why was I wearing plaid and overalls, I hadn’t even moved to Kansas yet.
Photoshop Fridge Magnets from ThinkGeek.
On a scale of 1-10, how much of a nerd am I for wanting these?

TWENTY-SIX YEARS AGO: My fifth birthday! I actually do remember the R2D2 cake. And why wouldn’t I? It’s pretty incredible. A few years ago, my mom actually tracked down a Cookie O’Puss for my birthday! A discontinued St. Patrick’s Day cake! In November! My mother does not mess around with birthday cakes.

Who does love a hoarder? They have so much rad stuff!
