Terry Boot!!!

Would you like to accompany me while hat shopping today? Since you seem to always have an opinion about my headwear, I figured you'd enjoy pointing out tasteful hats.

ETA: everyone remember, my birthday is next Thursday!

Maybe someone, anyone would have remembered my birthday if I'd announced it.

Do hope you enjoy the shopping.

Telling people probably helps. That's why I don't bother to mention mine. Birthdays are an abomination, celebrating a false, artificial partitioning of the continous, organic process of growth. And for what? A few candles, a cake and presents? For that you're willing to wait a year before acknowledging your next maturation? You're older than your age from the first day, and your age lies about you more every infinitesimal fraction of a second afterwards. But for candles, that suddenly doesn't matter? The world would be a better place without birthdays, and the sooner you acknowledge that fact, the sooner you'll stop living a lie and start living life.

You know, I remember my friends' birthdays almost always, without them having to tell me (once I know when it is of course, I can't just guess.) And excuse me if I'm not going to break with society's tradition of birthdays to make some sort of statement that you want to make.

You know what I like? Celebrating the fact that I did live to see another birthday. It's something that I appreciate.

You mean you didn't get the card?

Nope. Did you give it to a sick owl or something?

I sent it to your email account, it should have had a dancing bunny on it.

Happy belated birthday.

I'll put it on my calendar so I don't forget in the future.

That would probably be a good idea, seeing as how I already went through this last year yet even FEWER people remembered this one.

Shite.

Well, it was supposed to be a surprise but me and Fred were thinking of giving you a bonus since your product ideas have been such a success so far. So if you pop by the shop in London (we're currently setting it up, the shelves arrived last week and the shop would be ready if we could just agree on which side of the shop we're setting up the counter - I'm saying right, Fred is saying left - I'm of course right but does he ever listen? No!), you'll receive your present & your bonus.

Happy belated birthday, sis!

Yeah. Again.

That's awfully thoughtful, but a bit late. And it's not about the presents-- it's about someone actually acknowledging it without having to be reminded first or after the fact. So I appreciate the bonus as a bonus but it's hard to think of it as anything birthday any more.

Let me see these counters since you two can't decide.
