(no subject)
some of my favorite people had birthdays this week/weekend, and since i am amazingly consistent at being both lazy and selfish, instead of going to their respective journals and leaving a long sappy wonked out message of happy wishes and shit, i'ma just do it here and hope they see it at some point.
annina_writes: here is a woman of beautiful words, incredible courage and talent in spades. i don't remember a damned thing about how we met or when, but i do know that i was drawn to you for a reason. (uh huh, don't ask me to go into detail... the rum will simply not allow it at this time) seriously though, Cutie-- you need to move from hurricane central already. either that or strike a hot deal with Mother Nature or something that earns your area amnesty from the weather for a while. i mean, i'm just saying. right. the point. Happy Birthday to you, and may this year be filled with wonderful memories of your family and more great surprises like the whole New Yorker thing.
doomsdayblaze: my Cute Chocolate Canadian who has abandoned me lately in his pursuit of life outside of LJ. how sad for me. (it's always about me, duh) this guy is one of the most talented visual artists i've had the pleasure of almost knowing, and when he blows up all famous and whatnot, i'll be like one of those people writing letters or calling or something and demanding to be recognized and duly compensated for my priceless friendship and undying loyalty. Happy Birthday to YOU sir, and even though you've seen me say it before, i'll keep saying it, because we can never hear/read words of encouragement enough: you are a wonderful person. incredibly articulate, amazingly gifted with words and pens/markers/crayons/paints/pencils/whateverotherstuffyoucreatewith, and i can tell you this, Casey. as long as you keep working at it, self acceptance does eventually come. it fades from time to time, and the doubts will come back, and it's HARD to maintain the sanity sometimes, but the cool thing about time is that we have lots of it, and as long as you can be a little patient with yourself, the rewards will be like astronomical. goddamn that sentence don't make a bit of sense, does it. you know what i mean. i hope. i wish you mountains of happiness, for you certainly deserve it. i'd make you go get a mirror and do one of those cheesy 'i love myself and goddammit that's all the fuck that matters' things, but i know you won't do it.
and.....................................last but nevah evah least-- rhoyalblu: another woman of remarkable courage. (man i need to work on my vocabulary and stuff cuz i keep repeating words.. i need RANGE. i wanna be rancor4real when i grow up) MARQ! i miss you!! you made the last few months in SA bearable last year, and it freaks me out that even though we met so shortly ago, i feel as if i've known you all my life. that kinda stuff happens, though, i hear, when people become friends/sisters/life partners. distance has parted us, and although i'm not there to badly influence you encourage you in person, my spirit will always be there cheering you on. good things are coming, this i can promise. you and mztrmi are living the lives me and Barb lived not too long ago, and although the struggle was terrifically hard and sometimes almost unbearably painful, the journey was so well worth it. you are a Mother to be celebrated, and everything the kid knows about decency and goodness and happiness, he knows because of you. i see a lot of Barb's strength in you, and since we all know that i consider my Mother to be the epitome of Invincibility that's one hell of a compliment. here's to many many many many more birthdays together. and since you missed my birthday shot call, i'm doing one now for you.
birthday shots for everybody!! I LOVE EVERYBODY!!! where the hell is m y bottle
