Yes, yes, 19 AGAIN.
Weirdly, I found out I’m two years younger than I’ve been telling people I am, but figure since every woman my age is shaving at least five years off, nobody would believe me and I should just tell everyone I’m ninety.
The swag report so far: a Birthday Cthulhu (above) from az, a whole slaveringly flattering post complete with link from Raul, an all-you-can-drink invitation from Bob which occurs the same time as the Blogathon, which could be epic, a ticket to see the Lipizzaner stallions on Sunday from Metro and Mme Metro, a party at a winery from Township 7 (who doesn’t actually know it’s my birthday, but whatever, they invited me cuz I’m speshul), and free slurpees for the hangover tomorrow, thanks to 7-11.
Not too scruffy, my friends, not too scruffy. And there’s still time to buy me that spiffy Netbook if you feel like it…

I’m too lazy and a half-hour late for a party to link it up now, will do later. It’s my birthday, dammit.

Happy birthday!!! We’ll sing you a birthday song the next time we see you!! :)

Happy Birthday! That is a pretty sweet birthday Cthulhu.
Sorry I don’t have time to bake you a Cthulhu cake.
Jul 10, 2009 @ 22:23:17
Teh cake, it is a lie!
And I’m looking forward to the song!

Surely “Birth”day is a little pretentious? Possibly “Hatching”day or perhaps “Parthenogenisis”day or the more likely “Suddenly appearing in your dimension”day.
Whatever, I hope the vodka is cold and the souls are hot.

Yay! Another birthday!
Glad to hear you’re having a great time.

Thanks, I am. Had a great time at Township 7 Winery and a lovely drunken walk along Naramata Bench to get home, watching a beautiful sunset. Tomorrow morning will be painful, but well-earned, AND slurpees are free tomorrow at 7-11s in Canada. How did they know I’d need one???

Have a circumspect and respectable birthday.
Jul 11, 2009 @ 03:34:39

selamat ulang tahun (in bahasa)

Your Grace
I flatter mySen [Derbyshire dialect for "myself] that I agree with the most welcome & intelligent Senor Nando & the egregious Monsieur AerChie on so many things
=== apart of course on whether Indonesia (having escaped Dutch rule) should be allowed to join the European Community, while Britain is allowed to join NAFTA [the North American Free Trade Area]
You are Requested and Required to have had a really enjoyable & memorable GuburtsTag … well, perhaps it does not have to be reMemborAble
Just think
When you are 60, you may well wish that you were 38
Alles Gute [in Romanian = Drum Bun]
I remain your Grace’s obedient servant etc

Hoppy bird day two ewes! (Oh, c’mon, somebody had to do it.)
Jul 11, 2009 @ 20:21:44
Vicus: too late!
G. Eagle I did indeed have an enjoyable and memorable birthday, and I can even remember most of it.
silverstar, yes, someone did. Thank you. Now I can go on.
Jul 11, 2009 @ 20:22:22
Nando, I even knew what that meant! I haven’t forgotten everything I learned in Indonesia.
Jul 11, 2009 @ 21:24:02
Happy Birthday! A little late, but I hope it was great!
Jul 11, 2009 @ 22:12:35
Happy birthday. Love the cute Cthulhu. Looks like his ice cream is a unique flavor — strawberry with skulls. Yum!
Jul 11, 2009 @ 22:31:24
Strawberry with skulls. Yeah, there’s a market for that; all the Goths are old enough to have kids now, need a dessert the whole family will love. If it’s raspberry ripple, it’ll even look blood-streaked.
And thanks, guys!

IT WORKED!
My present to you was a test run of my time machine. I popped two days into the future to wish you a Happy Birthday!
wait…I fucked something up I think.
Jul 12, 2009 @ 02:38:15
Was it you who took two years off my age? Thanks, buddy!
Jul 13, 2009 @ 08:34:02

Monsieur Nando
We all know the real name of Mlle “Raincoaster” :
La Marchionesse de WitchHampton under Buzzard de la Zouch
AND
Today she should be in the British House of Lords
However, her Scottish ancestors had an unFortunate Difference of Opinion over Bonnie Prince Charlie’s right to be King of Britain & Ireland after the death of his father
SO THAT after the Battle of Culloden, they had to escape to Canada
Yr obedient servant etc

More or less. Some of us online are terribly closety, Nando, and don’t tell our real names very easily or very often.
Swag report, continued: I also got $25 in my Paypal account from my friend Nancy and the 1600th comment on my Mummified Fairy Post, courtesy of Bunk. YAY!

I’ve always been a bit sketchy about the whole “a/s/l” from back in the BBS days. If you wonder why we guard our real identies so much, it’s because of stuff like this:

That’s just plain creepy.
Jul 14, 2009 @ 02:13:15
Wow, that’s pretty horrifying. I thought the FBI wanted to keep the FB information all to themselves.
Jul 14, 2009 @ 10:56:31
Hahaha….a little bit yes, no.no,,maybe a big.big yes for your answer. Right, right,, sometimes, or even maybe should come to always, left all the reality information on online world.

Some of my best friends, in fact, are completely imaginary.
Jul 15, 2009 @ 06:27:12
I didn’t know you cared. I Am your best imaginary friend.
Jul 15, 2009 @ 06:39:41
Super, what did you get me for my birthday?
Jul 15, 2009 @ 10:38:05
Okay, I’ll bite. How did you find out you were two years younger? What kind of drugs/concussions/My Sweet Audrina-esque situations caused THAT?
Jul 15, 2009 @ 13:53:33
That’s a whole ‘nother post. Unbelievably long story twenty years in the making. I’ll see if I get to it today; depends if I start my blogging sometime before 3am this time.
