Happy birthday, dear shirebound

[gentlehobbit]

Back in 2002, I read your stories on ff.net. In 2003, I discovered LJ when you came here yourself. And throughout all that time and ever since, you've been an unfailingly generous, friendly and encouraging presence for everyone who has come here.

I hope that this year brings happiness and health, satisfaction and creativity, and less work! May Pippin always steal your heart, and may hobbits forever wend their way through the shirebunnies of your mind.

*many hugs*
