12:01 AM: I'm Forty

Pros: you all won't have to hear me bitch and moan for another five years.

Cons: I suck at milestones. And I'm FORTY. ARG.

Celebrate the years you've lived! Or if not, I still wish you a very Happy Birthday! :D

Also, no, I haven't been working on my Big Bang. *hides* This weekend! I will turn off the internet and write!

Heeeey, happy birthday!! :-D Here's wishing you a most excellent year!

I fail at milestones too. I'm bracing for a Proper Freakout next April when I polish off twenty years of school and twenty-five years of life all in the same month. O_O

Happy Birthday! To celebrate, I called in in sick tomorrow and will stay home and watch movies, hang out online, sleep in the overwhelming heat, and think about getting ready to travel! Oh, and send you lots of good wishes.

It's been a stony day, ;)

But tomorrow will be much better!

Thank you, hon.

Happy Birthday!

Forty is an excellant age: it's about as young as I assign full adulthood to (remembering here that I'll be sixty before you're forty-five).

I spent this evening reading Lauren Bacall's twitter, so I'm fine with the whole getting older thing.

Julia, she would make anyone OK with staying around for a while.

Thank you, you are so kind!

I don't know why I'm so issue-laden; life is very tenuous right now and not at all what I envisioned the solidity of 40 to feel like.
