Aquilegia, specifically the Magpie cultivar of columbine...but you also make me think of tall, strong cedars :]

the year is 2024, and now that I’m once more something approaching properly sober...mom’s baby turned 312 months this year, or 9497 days. the cake was messy at hell and not at all what I’d ordered—but upon due reflection, that was just the perfect summation of this here year.

owing to a much-too-convoluted-to-explain-and-still-be-funny Incident, the user routinely refers to a quarter of anything as “four-sixteenths.” the joke is frankly too stupid and too charming to pass up, so 4/16 becomes the centerpiece of the cake.

(the bakers were baffled, but did wonderfully.)

the year is 2022. the user badly needs a foot-rub, a variety of pharmaceuticals which cannot be acquired even with prescription, or, at the very least, a million pounds sterling.

the user turns 24 and represents this on her cake with six number 4 candles, one of which seems to get drunk before her.

the year is 2021. the user decides to get a little weird with it. the user attempts to find a birthday candle shaped like the plus sign, and is unable to. the user is Very Sad. the user turns 1 5 8, 158, or perhaps 15+8 as intended, which is to say, 23.

the year is 2020. (will it ever stop feeling like the year is 2020.) two make a pair and three make company—but three can also make a tradition. in homage to the initial mistake which started this whole thing, in honour of trinities, the user buys two 0-shaped candles and three 2-shaped ones.

the year is 2019. the user enjoyed last year’s birthday cake so much she decides to repeat the ‘glitch’—this time thoughtfully and on purpose. she purchase candles to represent the expected number, 21...and two zeroes.

the year is 2018. the user is nocturnal. the user’s mother just got off a night shift. neither notice they’ve grabbed an extra birthday candle until both get home, at which point the user giggles, and says oh, hell, might as well, I can’t wait until 30 to use this, now can I.
