Holy moly.

So I'll be 17 tomorrow. February 4th. It's kind of a day of remembering for me, more than like a day of celebration. It's always been that way. I'll be spending some time at the cemetery. I haven't been in awhile. I couldn't go last year, cause I was becoming an angel and all.

My how time flies when you're having fun plagues and devils

I think you are wise. Like, life makes you wise. Not school.

You help people deal with death. I think that's a little more important than algebra and macbeth and stuff.

I ... I don't really remember the day my mom died. Not exactly. But ... if you want company or anything or action flicks later or anything just ask! 'Cause you should have fun on your birthday, too!

Happy birthday! [he draws a stupid little happy face with an arm sticking out with a bunch of balloons in the little stick-figure hand]

Oh, that's very true. I hadn't thought about it like that, but I guess you expect people who are wise to be like old. Still I kind of went through a lot in that one year so maybe I qualify as being "old" in the experience sense

[beginstofly]

Yes, old and wise in the experience sense! Totally what I meant!

I used to go to my mom's grave all the time, so I know what you mean by remberance. I would talk to her sometimes, too.

Maybe you can tell her a story about your life, and that can be this year's new story.

It's definitely best to remember the good things about a person's life! My mom used ot tell me stories and read me books all the time.

I am at the Conrad! We will take over the comman room! What's your favourite action flick?

Yay!

[pplrunincircles]

I understand! Thank you for saying that. :)

I don't think you have to go to their grave to talk to them, but it does help you to feel closer somehow, huh? It's like impossible but the feeling's there.

Oh! That's a really good idea! Hey, you're kinda wise, too. I think I will tell her a story about my life. Goodness, so many to tell. Maybe I'll tell her about you! She'd like to know I have a 'brother' running around. I think that's what she'd like.

I think usually after they've died, it's easiest to remember the good things. I think that's something that happens.

COOL! I'm supposed to meet with my friend at the Conrad, too. Phoebe! We could all maybe go do something later, too! I love Die Hard! And this isn't an action flick really but Army of Darkness also rocks! And has zombies! :D

I would go with you to the cemetery, if you'd like me to.

If you want to be alone on that day, that's okay, too.

[locked]

[pplrunincircles]

I would like that. A lot. I don't want to be alone.

I'm just a little worried that

My dad should be there at some point during the day. I know the chances of us going at the exact same time are slim but I wouldn't want... you know.

[locked]

[destroytheother]

I see.

It's your day, your call.

Either way I would want to take you to dinner after.

[locked]

[pplrunincircles]

You and your "I see"s. :)

I was thinking of going like first thing early in the morning so maybe I'd miss him entirely. He wouldn't think I could get up so early, cause I'm a lazy, troubled kid. Yada yada. So if you don't mind getting up so early it should

It should be okay. I hope.

Either way I would really, really like to go to dinner with you. Thank you!

[thehighestwing]

ZOMG. It'll be your birthday tomorrow?!

Also, you're totally right. There's a lot of goodness and happiness in the world. You're like, the best example of it. I'm totes happy you're in this world, it's definitely something to celebrate. :D

I WILL WANT TO SEE YOU TOMORROW AND GIVE YOU STUFF~

[pplrunincircles]

It will be my birthday! YES!

Awwww! You're so sweet! Thank you so much! :D I'm very happy you're in this world, too! You're an awesome person and an awesome friend!

OKAY! I'm going to visit the Conrad after I go to the cemetery so I will hunt you down, okay?

[thehighestwing]

BOO YAH!

I am just being honest. You're an awesome friend too, and I totes want to celebrate such an IMPORTANT day. Srsly!

YAYNESS!

... Not that you're going to the cemetery but that you'll visit the Conrad and we'll have together time!

[pplrunincircles]

Awesome! I totally want to celebrate it with you, too! We can maybe go out for ice cream or something? I have to see my friend Johnny, too! He lives at the Conrad. Maybe we could all do something together? I just have cemetery plans and dinner plans at the moment.

:D Don't worry! I knew what you meant! I got your back! Or your mind! Or your thoughts! WOAH that sounded creepy. You know what I mean.

[quiettotheend]

If you have time, drop by the Gauche so I can wish you a happy birthday in person. :)

[pplrunincircles]

I will definitely make time, stop by, and hunt you down! So prepare to be hunted.

...that came out wrong. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

[quiettotheend]

I'll hunt you <3

[nogettingback]

If you do stop by the Gauche, come and find me! I'll have something pretty for you.

Happy birthday, grasshopper! The first year of being an angel is always the hardest and you've done pretty damn good at it so far.

[backdated]!!

[pplrunincircles]

I have to be hunted by Tabitha so I'm definitely stopping by the Gauche. Awww, you're so sweet! :)

Thank you so much! That means so much coming from an amazing angel like yourself, cowboy! I will see you tomorrow!
