6/8/2007: Stephen Has Completed "Surprise! It's Your Birthday"

Sorry for the lateness. I am feeling a bit better now and I also won my h2h match, so woohoo! This was an interesting task, one that I took some liberties with. I don't know if it is exactly what you envisioned Marianne, as I put my own sick twist on it, but, anyways, I did this last night and have finished editing the video. Here it is:
Happy Birthday To Me (High: 15.9)
Happy Birthday To Me (Medium: 10.8)
Additionally, here is the Happy Birthday song in mp3 form:
Happy Birthday To Me (2.2 MB)

6/6/2007: Stephen Cannot Complete "Surprise, It's Your Birthday"

Now don't get all riled up. I am going to claim the sickness clause of the rules on this:
Excuses/Postponement: In the event that a cast member cannot complete any tasks at all, due to sickness, death in the family, or anything along those lines, then that cast member will have their assigned task postponed. The cast member whose task is postponed must complete that task at some point within the next 4 weeks or suffer a penalty of one refusal point. If at all possible, the active cast member should try to post a task for the cast member who goes on the next day. However, if they cannot, the cast member going on the next day must choose a task from the refusal pool, without penalty.
I have had about 2 hours of sleep in the last 48 due to my participation in the PSC Head To Head Tourney. But more importantly I also do not want this fine task to be relegated to the refusal pool. I will complete it post haste.

6/5/2007: Marianne Assigns "Surprise! It's Your Birthday" To Stephen

Today you’re going to throw yourself a surprise birthday party.
Requirements: You need to decorate, get yourself presents (wrapped), a card, and a cake with candles. When you walk in the door, throw on the lights and yell “Surprise!” You have to actually look surprised in the video that’s required. Also in the video you need to show yourself opening the presents, singing “Happy Birthday” to yourself, and blowing out the candles. Inviting people to your surprise party is an option, not knowing the people you’re inviting, is even better. Providing a lot of party energy and enthusiasm is a must, after all, it is your birthday. Happy Birthday and I hope you get something you want.
P.S. I don’t know who is capable of video and who is not. If you’re not than pictures and audio will do.
