she's no saint, but this is her day

Today my good friend Colleen turns 30. 30! That just doesn't seem right, as she'll always be a sweet young thing to me. Colleen keeps a low profile, so most folks don't know how amazing she is. First of all, the girl is ridiculously intelligent. Her head's chock full of knowledge about interesting and erudite topics, not the crapload of meaningless entertainment trivia I have stuffed in my own skull. Second of all, she's crazy talented. She makes incredibly detailed, complex, mindblowing, psychedelic art that provides a glimpse of just how much more there is to her than meets the eye. And, of course, she is a kind and loving friend, supportive, sweet, true blue, and funny, too. Have a very happy birthday, Colleen!
