Barb's Birthday AKA Resurrection

Y'know, I've been known to slack off at certain things. Maybe even "put them off" for a time. But this LJ has certainly become the red-headed stepchild you forget about until they steal something. As a favour to a very excellent friend of mine, I'm resurrecting this baby for her special birthday which is today. Her name is Barbara MacDougall and you all should wish her happy times on this, her 22nd birthday.

Now we all know I'm a fan of birthdays. Barb's should be no exception. I went n' got her a little something nice because birthdays are awexome and people deserve sweet swag.

Over the years, Barb and I have had many enjoyable talks and adventures along the way. We've had our ups and downs too. But life would be boring without a little adventure, wouldn't you say?

"That's right, Armagideon Time! Tell Barb that Indie says hi!"
Right-o, Doctor Jones. Anyway, one thing I wanted to touch on first was Barb's prowess and video gaming. Granted she's completely blind, but still manages to completely OWN me at Soul Calibur II.

Not only that, but she can really hold her own in the Sonic The Hedgehog series.

No no no, dummy! The video games, not the Saturday morning cartoon!

It's okay, Livejournal. You'll learn in time.

Let me also say how bone-cracklingly amazing Barb is at singing. Seriously, she can wail on her vox like Eddie Van Halen wails on his guitar!!

"This lick's for you, Barb! Wooooooow!"
Moving along, I also want to give shoutouts to her sweet lovable dog, Rosamae. She goes by many aliases according to Barb, so don't ask me to name them all off.

"Woof, you'd lose track eventually! Woof!"
Okay calm down, Rosamae. Dogs can't talk.

"Rooby rooby roo! Says you!"
Sorry, Scoob. Forgot in all the commotion. But enough of that. Her dog is adorable and will let you rub her belly at the drop of a hat.

So as you can see, this wonderful person I call Barbara MacDougall is just a bevy of intelligence, talent, and beauty. But don't mess with her, she's got claws too!

So here's to many birthdays that have come and gone, that are currently taking place, and that are yet to come. Happy birthday, Barb. Here's to 22 more years of living la vida loca!
