how to tell your girlfriend really loves you.
Birthdays are excellent examples of couples who really love each other. For instance, if your girlfriend does any of the following (much less all 3) then chances are, she really loves you.
1- She spends 10 hours baking you a crazy fancy cake.
2- She bleeds as direct result of your cake decorating.
3- She obtains actual chemical burns from your party planning.
With that being said. Happy Birthday Andy. :) Party pics from tonight and pictures of the infamous cake will be up tomorrow!

I thoroughly enjoyed the cake, but consecrating it with blood was probably unnecessary. The curled and blood-covered fingers were a nice touch.
For those of you too busy to see Casablanca during Piedmont Park’s Screen on the Green and to subsequently partake in birthday celebrations, the cake was an arrangement of molecules constituting Red Fuming Nitric Acid. That its, water (H2O) and dinitrogen tetroxide (N2O4) were suspended in solution with nitric acid (HNO3). In this case, the atoms were realized with cake and lit from below by a clever pairing of red LEDs. I’m not exactly sure why a knife sharp enough to cut fingers was used in the cake’s creation, but perhaps I wish to remain ignorant of most of the suffering that went into it.
To accomplish the fuming, dry ice (responsible for part 3 of Emma’s lovetrials) was intended, but due to an oversight regarding rates of heat transfer in non-stationary flows, the dry ice sublimated before I arrived. Emma couldn’t have used real Red Fuming Nitric, as the vapors would have killed us all quite rapidly.
It was really a splendid creation, Emma. Thank you so very much.
