Does anyone here celebrate special or commemorative days from home, such as birthdays, holy days, or anniversaries?

What dates do you reckon by?

Why do you ask?

[text] never! thinkin_arbys September 10 2011, 08:01:18 UTC

I was wondering if I should celebrate in relation to the ship or to my own home.

[text] magnetiferous September 11 2011, 05:57:24 UTC

I suppose it doesn't matter either way; as long as it is celebrated, that is all that matters.

[text] thinkin_arbys September 11 2011, 06:16:25 UTC

For the holy days, yes.

Birthdays are different.

[text] magnetiferous September 11 2011, 06:21:24 UTC

And whose birthday are we speaking of?

[text] thinkin_arbys September 11 2011, 06:30:52 UTC

Mine, of course. Do I count one year by what date it was at home, or do I count it by the dates here? There is a six month or so discrepancy.

My dear, I don't think you're asking the right questions.

[video] typing is hard, obv thinkin_arbys September 11 2011, 06:40:16 UTC

What do you mean?

[He gives her something of a crooked grin.] What you should be asking is what you plan on doing to celebrate.

[video] thinkin_arbys September 11 2011, 06:48:57 UTC

[Narrowing her eyes, here, and waving him off a bit.]

I have no real reason to celebrate. Do you know what I do to celebrate my birthday? I make sure my room is clean and I hope no one gets me another rosary.

[video] magnetiferous September 11 2011, 06:50:34 UTC

[He responds to her dismissive tone with a lilting one of his own.] I'm quite sorry to hear it.

[video] thinkin_arbys September 11 2011, 06:57:26 UTC

Yes, I'm certain you are. I have no one to celebrate with and no way to celebrate, so I simply want to know how best to reckon my years. I'm either turning one year older or waiting another six months, and isn't it normal to ask someone their age?

[video] magnetiferous September 11 2011, 07:02:28 UTC

I never did categorize myself as normal. But I'll humor you: How old will you be?

And as for not having a means to celebrate, that can be quickly amended.

[video] thinkin_arbys September 11 2011, 07:04:42 UTC

I... [ANNOYED HUFF.] I did not mean to beg you to ask me, I meant that people might ask, and I would have need to tell them.

...How so?

Re: [video] magnetiferous September 11 2011, 07:08:03 UTC

[Oh, he finds your reactions amusing, but he keeps his amusement mostly brimming under the surface of a relatively controlled man.] Yes, well, I asked nonetheless. And I expect an answer.

Isn't it time that we find another drink that you enjoy?

[video] thinkin_arbys September 11 2011, 07:14:33 UTC

I will turn twenty-four, if I reckon by the ship.

...[Well. That doesn't sound so bad. And now she's smiling just a little.] Are you trying to turn me into a drunk?
