a VERY happy birthday to me

[maccadole]

Yesterday was my birthday and I barely know where to begin. Cursed Child is finally mine, at least, I can say that much. Now I can read it myself and see what I think. Apart from that I got 29 other gifts. Yes, you read that correctly. I kept feeling like Dudley

I'm so glad you had such a fun and gift-filled birthday!! I forgot to mention that YES I am aware of Monty Python, I was a huge MP fan back in the day and I've even dressed as the dead parrot for Halloween! Wish I had a pic to post, that was a good costume. Crazy that yesterday was basically MP day!

Also, I did get all the JP refs in your hilarious comment and they were spot on!

[maccadole]

Ahahahah, I'm thrilled to hear it. Especially that you dressed as the dead parrot. WOW, I have such respect for you. That is commitment! And SUCH a great costume.

So glad that you had a happy day. It was a pleasure to write a teeny something for you and I only wish it could have been more substantial! But I read and very much enjoyed your other gifts and feel that fandom did spoil you, pretty much. :D HP fandom on LJ really is the nicest place. I'm glad you found us ♥

[maccadole]

Goodness, I might've dropped dead if you'd had time to write anything else. I think it's safer this way. ;)

Ahh yes. Fandom has spoiled me rotten, there's no way of denying it. <3

I keep thinking back to March and April when I was starting to rediscover the LJ side of things. I was mostly searching fic at random on AO3 still, though, and I saw all of you tight-knit people gifting fic to each other and whatnot. I really wanted to join in, and now here I am. And now I'm the one people are giving fic??? It's so surreal but very, very appreciated.

<3333 You deserve every word! I was so hoping to write something for you, too, but grad school is evil. I'm so happy you had a great birthday! ♥

Penises at the ready! \o/

[maccadole]

Oh my god, you are all the best. You're making me a blubbering mess again, haha. I appreciate the thought. And hey, it's probably for the best that you didn't have time to write something. I fear I might've lost my mind if I received anymore delicious gifts.

My day was filled with enough penises, gifts and cake as it was. ;)

[_melodic_]

Ahhhh I love you so much, you don't even know! I was tempted to film a youtube video dedicated to you, fyi, but didn't... yet!

Er, anyway I am so pleased you had such a wonderful day, you certainly deserved all the love in the world.

And omg that was adorable of your mother to get you 30 gifts for your bday, how thoughtful and clever and sweet!

<33

[maccadole]

God, you should've seen the PILE of 'em. It was insane. Almost awkwardly so, hahah. But it was so fun and so thoughtful of her, I agree. And really nice stuff, too.

EEEE, a video for me? Goodness, now I'm curious what you would've said. Or will say?? We just don't know. Honestly, I'm not even subscribed to you, I just keep checking on your channel every so often instead. I'm going to do something about that, finally. :D

EEEE happy birthday!!!! And THANK YOU for your glorious comment!!!!! (I haven't been at my comp properly to reply yet, but by Jove, I HAVE READ IT haha!)

Glad you had a good day, you deserve it!! And omg 30 gifts like Dudley LOL amazing. :D :D :D

Xoxoxo

[maccadole]

Ahahaha, you are VERY WELCOME. It's the least I could do. I'm hoping to read it again later and have something more substantial to say. I feel like my comment was mostly flailing and a lot of EMOTIONS everywhere. What you wrote was so intense and toeing the line of something so profound that I feel like it needs a proper review when I'm not overcome with love and excitement only.

AAAHHH yes. I think Dudley got more though?? I read the darn book again only a few months ago but I forget. Either way I kept thinking of him and I felt like I was meant to throw a fit and ask for more. LOL.

[shiftylinguini]

LOL I love the image of you as a disgruntled Dudley wanting more gifts!! and oh no, don't fee you need to say more, your comment was lovely <3333
