Happy Birthday, snapecentric1!

[gingerbred]

In honour of the day, Snape has brewed you something, snapecentric1. (Although I'm not sure you're supposed to drink it, so I'd hold off until he provides more details... He was in a bit of a mood. As near as I could tell, he was muttering something about guests overstaying their welcome, and I gathered he thought he was being useful? Hmm... Yes, some restraint

You absolutely should not feel ashamed. There's never any need to publicise more private information than you feel comfortable putting out there. (And I loathe the idea of peer pressure making a person feel they should. People should never do unnecessary things they're uncomfortable with, especially not for a reason so silly.) Some platforms honour the day people sign up to get around that, but because LJ has the birthday information for lots of folks (whether it's accurate or not 😆) most of us tend to go with that. (But if that's making you feel guilty, you can have the system hide your (fake) birthday. There's a setting for that.)

So may I be the first to wish you a very happy un-birthday then? I hope it was a great one. 😉

Of course you can still choose, because I won't be asking on your actual birthday now, so it all works out in the end. The first one it'll be then.

I loved Alan in the role dearly, but the ages of the characters were all so off. I suspect a good bit of it was because JKR didn't disclose the ages until much later, and casting was working blind. As such, the lego face wasn't too far off. The more recent official version is a little younger, but a good deal less pleasant, and I couldn't bring myself to go with that at all.

And happy new year to you, too. (Of course I should have gone with that, but I find folks with birthdays on holidays tend to have them neglected, so... I outclevered myself. 😉)
