NEXUS.

Best birthday you've ever had? What did you do? Who were you with? Tell me things.

If you don't feel like answering that: do you know anything about astrology? Do you know your own zodiac sign(s) and think they're accurate, or at least that there's some truth to the practice of astrology? What did your horoscope say this morning?

oh man is it your birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY (oh my god i spelled that wrong like five times, i can type right now i promise.).

basically my best birthday was my last one because i got thrown the biggest fucking graduation-slash-birthday party ever and i got suuupeeer trashed, etc etc, what a horrible thing to tell people on the internet, i know.

i'm going to answer both because i'm in the best mood in the land - i don't really know too much about astrology, but i'm a gemini and i think it fits me okay most of the time? i don't know, i just think i'm a giant derp.

today (well, yesterday? it's after midnight now) my horoscope said 'You know there is not much point getting worked up about your cash flow situation, and with values planet Venus moving into the financial area of your chart this weekend you'll be more relaxed about money matters generally. It will all come right in the end.'

i hadn't looked at it until just now though.

HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING, LUCY

AWESOME. oh man I love big parties, but I so cannot have any anymore, they always lead to terrible things because of my superpower. That said, Geminis kind of have more room to maneuver emotionally, I think, because they have two sides to their personality. (Usually at least one side is crazy.)

Is your horoscope right?

[onlyfive]

A LITTLE BIT but i'm celebrating, it's totally okay.

oh no, that sucks :(!!! but yeah, i figure i'm lucky in the gemini respect re: wiggle room. (i think both sides are a little crazy, maybe)

well, i did have a little sigh of relief in the money department, so i'm hoping/thinking 'yes.'

[neverpromised]

oho what are we celebrating? (besides the birth of ME.)

Money is a jerk. Like, as a person, it is terrible.

My best birthday was probably the last one I actually got to celebrate, beeeeeecause it was the last one before I got drafted, back when I still remembered just what my birthdate was. It was mostly a lot like most days were back then, except that my coworkers paid for my drinks at the post-work dinner that night, and I got to take a couple of slices of cake the dessert chef had left over home with me for myself and my sister.

Astrology's pretty much out the window, in my time. Galactic civilization, the constellations only make sense if you're in the Solar system, etc. Anyway, as I mentioned above, I don't remember my birthdate anymore, so.

Cake seems a vital part of the day. Drafted, huh? How long you been in?

Well. You still need a zodiac sign. I will think of one.

[one_drafted_man]

Totally. Um... Let's see, three years for the SPARTAN augmentations and Basic Training, five years of the war itself, then the time jump (long story), a year between landing in The Future and finding the Nexus, which was... fuck, four years and a few days ago, now. So, either 13 years or 813 years, depending on if you count the time jump.

...Fuck, even without the time jump, I'd never added all that up before now. I'm going to go raid my booze collection now.

Uhhhh... Sure, knock yourself out. And happy birthday, apparently.

[neverpromised]

...that is a long time. Have fun, dude.

Thank you! I am still considering what you should be.

[sheepsclothes]

Astrology's worth paying attention to, if not setting your clock by.

[neverpromised]

It's interesting, at least! Although I know there are websites dedicated to being way more specific, I've never paid a huge amount of attention to them.

[sheepsclothes]

'Websites' and all that's still a bit over my head.

I'm a Leo, myself.

[neverpromised]

Books, then, I guess.

Lots of Leos in this thread. Clearly we are great like that.

Hello!

My best birthday would probably be the last one I spent with my father and his family. Boating, swimming, cake and he made me a gift.

I'm a Scorpio on the cusp of Sagittarius, and I'm not sure that either one is accurate. ;)

[neverpromised]

That's pretty!

Seem to be a lot of varying accounts on that.

[seahorse_beauty]

Thank you. Hopefully I'll see him soon and can pass that along.

Yes, well ... yes. Perhaps some of us were just born under stranger stars than others.

[neverpromised]

Iii don't know about that one, I think everybody here is pretty weird. It probably has more to do with the vague characteristics that are tossed out.

When I took my baby brother trick-or-treating for the first time!!

I'm a Scorpio. I don't really buy into any of that stuff.
