THANK YOU FOR ALL THE BIRTHDAY GIFTS! AND IF I HAVEN'T ALREADY THANKED YOU - I CAN BLAME LIVEJOURNAL

[red_satin_doll]

Firstly: Thank you everyone who sent me the wonderful birthday wishes last week in the form of messages or as gifts in your journal. It really meant a lot to me, and made turning 46 a lot more fun than I'd anticipated. It was a lovely, low-key day: my sweetie took me out to the new Thai restaurant in the area we'd recently heard about; and she

Glad you liked :-)

Don't forget it's part of a set of three; do read the others.

Must get back on the horsey; been letting myself get far too easily distracted by mere RL howwiblenesses lately.

Oh dear, how horrible are we talking on the horribleness scale?

And I will read the others I haven't forgotten! Nor have I forgotten that I've promised to post Tara icons sometime soon; I made some from OAFA that I like conceptually but can't get the image and text to work to my liking. *le sigh*

It's just awful when LJ fails so spectacularly - and on your birthday, of all days. Just glad you finally found all your wishes and prezzies and such.

I only found Kiki's today so now I'm wondering what else I may have missed. Not even just the prezzies, which I love (I am SUCH A GIRL *lol*) but several folks have recently mentioned me in reference to fics or meta, or linked to one of my posts, and I really do like knowing about those things. I want to read the posts, be a part of the conversation etc

And when someone sends other people my way? No one might say to me "I saw the link on so and so's post" but it's a big deal to me anyway. It's free PR, for which I'm eternally grateful (and I know how hard it is to "generate traffic" from trying to help my sweetie with her blog and ebay auctions etc); and it's another gauge of things I've posted that other people enjoy seeing and reading, in addition to the convo threads. So that helps me tremendously here.

ANYHOOO....I do hope things clear up soon. (When are the Olympics over? *lol*)

That's why I always go to my Friend's page instead of relying on notifications. I am wise to the ways of LJ after seeing years of random glitches. *side-eyes LJ*

Which I used to do religiously and how I found your post. Thank you for the reminder though because I NEED to get back into the habit. esp since I have several new friends. (maybe spend ten less minutes making icons...*lol*)

[red_satin_doll]

btw i'm working on something inspired by you.

oh yes please! How am I supposed to get any sleep now with the anticipation?

[red_satin_doll]

And I've been wondering if it will end up being what appeals to you as well.?

That's really sweet that you have me in mind! (My plan for world domination on Buffy's behalf is progressing right on schedule *evil cackle*)

It's a bit sad when the things we come to rely on let us down. Love kwritten's story. Thanks for the rec. Have you seen kikimay's first fan vid - lovely Buffy tribute. She picked a great song for Buffy, I thought and the snip of Angelus and Buffy just broke my heart.

[red_satin_doll]

Definitely annoying. A year ago I wouldn't have noticed that LJ was futzing up, so I guess it says a lot about how many friends I've made in this fandom that it is a big deal to me now. Which is a good problem to have, right?

Have you seen kikimay's first fan vid

YESYESYESSSSSS! I left a comment earlier. I would never have thought of that song for Buffy but kiki's vid made it feel like a perfect choice.

I thought and the snip of Angelus and Buffy just broke my heart.

Oh yes and the clip from Amends and Buffy begging Angel not to commit suicide ("What about me?" OMG SO ironic in light of The Gift), and of course The Prom (which seems to be getting a lot of appreciation lately in these parts, yes *wink*)

I definitely hope she does more.

The very best. :D

I'm glad you found all your prezzies, sweetie!

Thanks for sharing links!

*squish*

I was going to share my icons but this got too long and I LOVELOVELOVE pimping other people's stuff. So - icons can wait a couple more days.
