Life is really, REALLY good. Cherusha rules. She made me a MOVIE! (psst, Ru! You are AMAZING. Everything is perfect. EVERYTHING! ♥ you tunz.) Also,
anelith sent me a card today with a 3-d swinging pirate ship that has me MESMERIZED. Anne, you didn't know this, but when I was a little girl, my Papa had a model pirate ship in his den that I would play with for hours. Um, he didn't know that, or I'd've been in big trouble. Now I have a mini-one of my own!! Love you, too!
So, I'm super uncomfortable getting things and hearing about myself, so for my birthday today, how about hearing something great about YOU?!? If you'd like me to fill your ears with praise, a funny story, something like that, comment and say: "Me, please!" I'm having lunch with my girlfriends, so you might have to wait for love and praise after noon, but it will be here!!
And how about some groovin' music to shake ya tailfeathers to? I'm all bouncy today. Here ya go! (25MB) It's up-file, so scroll down until you see on the right: up4u download, or something to that effect. Here's what's on it:
Scissor Sisters - Take Me Out (maybe the best cover song EVER)
Pee Wee's Big Adventure (you'll be singing this theme song all day!)
Chemical Bros - Galvanize, ft. Q-Tip (this is that groovy song from the Budweiser commercial)
Eric Cartman - My Best Friends (heeeee! "You guys are my best friends. Through thick and thin..." Hahaha!)
Sugarhill Gang - Tonto, Jump On It! (OH EM GEE. Anyone watch Calton and Will do a dance to this? Just me? Okay.)
*pours everyone a shot* Um... let that sit until after lunch. Heh. Aw, screw that! It's happy hour somewhere!! *downs shot*

Meeting you at WC was a definite highlight. I love how smart you are. How SOUTHERN you are, and you may have the most gorgeous blue eyes and black lashes I've laid eyes on. You're funny and kind and sassy and it makes me so happy to have a picture of you and to hear your voice when I read your posts.

You didn't ask but like I'd *really* not tell you great things about you! #1, you are a southern belle, but in the filthy mouth and angelic grin sort of way, which is the best kind. You are loving and fun and smart and snarky and have rose petal skin and there is no wrong here.
If you lived closer, I'd kidnap you and we'd have all kinds of fun. I heart you, S.

I think you know how funny you are, so we're good there.

You obviously love life, do not suffer fools, and know your own self worth. All of which puts you in the top percentile of awesome people, of which makes a small percentage of humanity. The best of the best of the best, in other words.
May you have a fantabulous day (and may your health IMRPOVE!)

And they say it with longing in their hearts as you walk away, because they know that you'd give them the eye for marginalizing you. You are smart, you are kind and giving, and you have fantastic taste. Dogs don't lie - they love people who are worthy of love.
Basically, you're like the spittin' image of Ann Richards, but when she was spry and not grey haired. Which is, of course, my favorite kind of Texas gal.
Have yourself a fantastic day, my friend!

Buffy: Sorry. It's just... old habit. Bad, bad habit to be broken.
Angel: It's hard.
Buffy: It's not hard. Cold turkey. That's the key to quitting.
My husband: No, Buffy - it's hard!
Cue me collapsing...

And I smile everytime I remember that you call your husband "Mr. Darcy" because that was THE perfect man, and I love hearing about people in love like you two. And you two are possibly one of the handsomest couples I've ever seen.

Date: 2006-08-08 08:04 pm (UTC)Thank you for the wishes, and since I'm on a roll... I was nervous to talk to you at WC - you exude cool, but you probably knew that. You seem so together and smart and on top of things. It's a very attractive quality in a person. And speaking of attractive, you are PERFECT! Glossy hair, petite, fantastic all over.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you better, and am very impressed with what I've seen so far! You are one cool woman.

Date: 2006-08-08 08:08 pm (UTC)And I thank you (and partyhat wearing VK) for the wishes! And now I'm not caring if people ask for nice things about them, I'm just DOING IT.
SWMBO! I seriously look forward to your posts (they're about nothing, I know, but then, SO WAS SEINFELD, AND HOW AWESOME WAS THAT SHOW??) with my morning coffee. It's like how I need to read my paper everyday. You always have a positive outlook, even when you don't. Heh. You're a funny, fun-loving person, and that is SO RARE. You take nothing seriously (except when you do) and I've always come away from any statements or fics you've written with a smile.
Basically, you're an emo-buster, and you should be cloned. But like the Homer Simpson clones, so their integrity is shot a little bit, so you can continue to be unique.
And one day I will shower you with tequila, except metaphorically, because that would be very stinky and sticky.
*marches forth and causes merriment, as commanded!*

You get why pie is the best. You love to talk about meals with me (and seriously - who doesn't love talking about food??) you are the Seinfeld Quote generator, you know all the random lines from comedy movies that usually bring crickets when I say them to anyone else, and you're one of the smarter people I know.
Your relationship with TFMN makes me so happy for you both, I love that you rescued a beautiful cat and fell in love, I love that you're a sweet and tender aunt, and most of all, I love calling you friend. I'm so proud to be able to say that.

Date: 2006-08-08 04:44 pm (UTC)So here's a story about me that just happened this morning. It's short. As you know, I have an electronic piano-keyboard thing. Well, the only pedal I had for it was the crummy one that came with it, so as an early bday present, I received this nice set of three that attaches to the base of my keyboard. I follow the instructions and put the clips into the bar, go through a bit of a hassle getting all the screws tightened (I have problems with loose screws, what can I say?), and finally deem the project successful!
Until I stand up and get ready to push the piano back against the wall and realize I put the bar on backwards so that the pedals are facing out towards the wall and not in towards my feet. May all your pedals be inward-facing today, Stoney! :D

Date: 2006-08-08 07:29 pm (UTC)I love how you always seem positive and full of life in your posts. When you love something, you love it hard. I can't wait to read all about VividCon (is that spelled right?) and I bet it gives you a charge of creativity and excitement. (And every time I see your Ace Ventura icon I laugh my butt off.)

You are so pretty, and you have FLAWLESS skin and lips to die for. You are simply one of my most favorite people around, and it gives me an ache to think that it is such an ordeal to get to SEE you. Getting to hang out and talk and drink tequila with you at WC was one of the best memories I took from that whole weekend.
I feel honored that you think of me as a friend, and proud to call you the same. ♥

Date: 2006-08-08 08:17 pm (UTC)You're so beautiful and loving and fun and funny, and you've made my kids fall in love with you. You've really grown into an amazing person this year - someone I'm so proud of. I think about that week you came out to hang with me when I was in college and we had so much fun together! (Knights in White Acne, hahahahaha!! You're so frickin' funny.) Thank you for being someone I can talk objectively to, and for being thoughtful and helpful to me when I need it.
I wish we lived closer (or we didn't have the slag we did and you could have a car) so we could spend more time together, but it just means that we make it count when we CAN see each other.
And before I forget, I just want you to know that I've always dreamed of being a ventriloquist. That is just LIGHTS OUT. Ahahahahahaha!!! I love you so much, Breath.

I love how brave you are. You've had a lot of curve balls thrown at you this past year, and you took them all in stride and with grace. And your moving to a new continent AND hemisphere is amazing to me. I want all the good things in life for you, and you've just made me so happy by your being YOU!! *squishes and hugs*
