I'm fairly certain there is a gray partridge (and baby bird) in my front garden right now. Huh. ETA: Make that a (possibly mating) pair of gray partridges (the angle was odd at first, so I thought one was tiny) and until they retired the field, a pair of quarrelling black squirrels. I love squirrels, but it always makes me chuckle when I think of what pissy little bastards they are. ^_~
Ok, let's face it, I suck at keeping up with birthdays. Doesn't mean I don't love you guys, or I'm not thinking of you, just that I'm bad at it (and that given how fast I write, I can't even manage to write enough birthday!fic for everyone who deserves something; believe me, I'm especially sorry and guilty about that one). *hangs head* So.
A rather impressive crop of very Happy Belated Birthdays to

And in the interests of being proactive and not letting myself backslide...
some very Happy Early Birthdays to
rushumble,
quabazaa and
farothiel!
I hope you all had/have wonderful celebrations of your day, and that the year ahead brings nothing but joy. ♥ (Did I miss anyone? Seriously, please let me know if I did. My memory and the LJ birthday function only gets me so far.)
...And randomly, I'm adoring Thornley's "Make Believe." I have this horrible urge to write all sorts of songfic for it, and that makes me cringe.
